"Sealed Pot Challenge 4"
Comments
-
Morning all. I'm splitting this challenge in two. I'll be 'breaking into' my sealed pot in June to use as honeymoon spending and starting again from then. My target for June 1st will be £150, and my target for christmas will be to get it back up to £150.
I currently have £5.65 in the pot.Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP(Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)0 -

I had a bit more change last night so i thought i'll put it into the pot. Entered the change and pot said I had £9.85 was really pleased, then took a look at the pot (its see through) and thought it doesn't look like a tenners worth of change. My DS has been complaining of no money recently but has suddenly got enough for the pub last night.
I emptied the pot and counted it to find £4.60, the theiving swine has taken all my £1 and 50p peices. I informed him last night as per the advert on tv where you choose how much you want to borrow and over how long they will tell you how much to pay back the apr works out to 2280% so i want £20 back in return payday, no have to see wether he pays up.

Thanks a lot, sparky, I'm certainly better than I was on speaking to you last week. Fancy people leaving money on the tables....unless it was for the waiter????!!BTW, have only just given honeybear68 her No!
Dh went and got the shopping early this morning, bless him and he brought me back a beautiful £2er along with £3.27's worth of change. :kisses3:
Hi LC 2!! Yes, thankfully he's getting much better and DD thinking of when he can go to school again. Thanks so much for caring.
You keep right on squirreling away by all means, Brown_suga.It's the way to build it up.
ooooh fishcakes, that sounds painful for your young lass, I hope she's soon much better. Thinking of you on this sad day with your friend's funeral. His poor family must be so distraught, bless them.
Oh dear, postie_bear, that really isn't nice at all of your lad, I hope you get what you're after or that he at least pays you back what he took - and that he does NOT do it again! Try leaving it where it was and let him know you're trusting him and won't be forced to hide it in your home!
Cor, jammy, doesn't that make you wish you lived near a Tube, you'd be there all ruddy day!!! :rotfl:
See you later everyone.
