"Sealed Pot Challenge 4"

jakes-mum

just found another 4p on top of the coffee machine dunno who's it was but into the pot its gone . . . thinking of trying to encourage DH to go to town when he gets in from work (as we are in competition I have said that any money I make from craft fairs go in mypot and any money from him doing overtime goes in his . . . . just before he said 'im working tomorrow grrrr) see if I can find any road kill whilst buying some socks to make sock cupcakes

Was going to buy the telegraph so that I could get a free scarf, but rang the shop, the scarves have all gone, so I won't be buying the telegraph - that's £1.80 for the pot!

Mel, I love the idea of Buzz Lightyears all lined up in a row.

I've got to ask, jakes-mum, what the duce does buying socks to make sock cupcakes mean - that you can afford socks - but not - cake cases or am I the dippy one here :question: :huh: Answer that last remark at your peril!

A wise move, Georgiegirl, very canny.

Loooool You buy coloured socks and roll them up so they look like a cupcake, pop them in a cupcake case and tie with a ribbon so they stay together and then wrap in cellophane as a gift. I'm going to make some for my craft fair tomorrow as other crafters have said that they have sold very well

And my goal is £250 by next December.. hoping that most of my money will go into my savings for Florida Sept 2011, and I won't actually have a lot of change for my sealed pot!

Purpleroses

Thanks for the welcome

I found a huge porcelain pig piggy bank for £1 in the charity shop which will be great for this challenge.

Mel, that is exactly how it's best done. You won't miss the change and usually it gets spent in trivial ways - so - looks like you're on to a winner.

Hi everyone:)
Well i have just emptied my purse and DH's wallet to start my pot off - must have put about £10 in (no idea how much exactly as 2 year old DD put it in so no chance of counting!) She kept asking for more pennies to put in. Bless her, I think she will have as much fun as we will! Have a seperate one for her also for 5p's and coppers.

xmessedupx that tin is great! well done and i hope you have fun saving in it!
