I'm so glad Sue's back :j, good to have you back at the helm :T, a big thanks to everyone for the compliments, I just enjoy being here with you all. Don't know how you do it Sue it's like a full time job
The high-lighted part that you put above, sparky is exactly what it's like for me here, and not a lovelier bunch of folk could we be doing it all for either!
Thanks everyone, you're a very warm-hearted group and thank you again for you wonderful greetings.
Stay determined, claudiac and you'll at least save some by the end of the year, just try not too put too much away to force you to have the need to dip in! You'll love it come December 1st...whatever it is.
I'm pleased you're so chuffed with your pot, daisygogo, the challenge too. You know you've become a true member when you pick up cash rather than leave it in the road - for someone else?? Doesn't bear thinking of!esmer wrote:I take 20.00 to work with me for the week, and just checked my purse and I had 7.56 left, so all in the tine. Very happy with thatI now have a challenge, not to spend a lot of my 20.00
I have a free coffee on Wed, as I have voucher, so saves me 2.50 and I'm only in one other day, so I might end up with 14.00 next week. Happy days!
You're doing this in a perfect way, esmer, taking advantage of squeezing every little bit into your pot...perfection! :T
Congratulations on your savings, goingontoolong, keep that up and you'll always be saving so well.
I love this Footiemad "I have exceeded my own expectations since I started at the end of last year." Brilliant to read!
oooh LC 2, is that Toy Story 3?? Our littlies had it for Christmas and going by 1 & 2 DH & I can't wait to see it at the w/e! Crumpets and tea eh?? Delicious!
Hi Bebs and well done on all you're doing. To answer your question - you could change it and put notes in or you can bank the cash if you wish, if you go for the latter then please pop the amount paid in on your siggy. Thanks.
Sounds as though someone's watching over your DH, Aesop! Great! A 3rd time maybe..??
Hello again oops!!! You had to be fulfilling a penance to read through all 2,500 posts either that or mad! :eek: Lovely to see you again oops.
Congratulations on the £50, Viv! Good to see you saving it.
That's right, fishcakes, 5000 will net you your first £50, it'll take a while, but worth it for sure!
Have yourselves a wonderful weekend everyone, enjoy it to the full.

Hi all, just popped on here after adding another £4 to my pot. I was given them in my change and have learnt to come in and stick them straight in my pot or they get snapped up and spent on other things!! Am starving,feet killing and need to get my comfys on and do tea, its pizza and pasta in our house every friday, kids dont have to sit at table and we watch a film or programme together and have popcorn. Its suppossed to be our family time but oh has just been called back out to work tonight. Have a fab weekend all, hope the weather stays fine and dry !Life happens when you are busy making other plans

:j hubby just donated 1.76 to my sealed pot, he must have had a good day
That's a great idea about weighing your pot, I'm so excited to know how much is in mine as I've not kept track.
I have to go into town in the morning so I'll be keeping an eye out for roadkill but before that I've got the washing to do so if I find any pennies in pockets I know where they are going to end upSealed Pot Challenge Member 1273VSP 2011 Member 92 - 723.070 -
