"Sealed Pot Challenge 4"

Doingmybest2bgoodhurrah

Hey people!

This horrible wind has killed my garden fence. We have made do & mended it for 3 or 4 years, but now it really is an ex, deceased, no more fence. Luckily, we have been preparing ourselves for this inevitable day & have been putting a bit aside when we can, so we have decided to take the painful step of getting the professionals in. Each time we bodge it up ourselves I worry whenever the high winds arrive that it could go over & hit my dog or the little boy next door. I simply couldn't live with that, so we are now expecting a call with the price. I am bracing myself with an Irish coffee.

On a happier note, I have tried on a top today which I bought some time ago to "slim in to" (story of my life) & its actually looser! Its still tight, but not as tight! I was so pleased I nearly cried. All my pavement pounding must be beginning to pay off.

£7.76 into my pot today; this was change from groceries this morning and a bit my mum insisted she owed me for a couple of bits I got for her in the week.

I have not had time to catch up on all the postings, but see there are some pics of somebody's pot & some curious images of what look like hair curlers? Interesting. Will try to catch up over the weekend.

The haystack over the road has fallen down & is now minus its plastic covering. Its still really gusty here, so stay safe everyone.

Wow Sparky - and I thought I deserved a lie in this weekend.

A few pennies in my pots, but as I'm cash poor not as many as usual Will make up for it next month.:o

Have joined the no buying lunches for work and no buying new books challenges, and so far so good. Although it's only been a week.:rotfl:

21p road change for me this morning LC2's stomping ground at Mr. M's in Speke, also got £2 coin in my change, so thats going into the Summer 2011 pot when I get home later. Plus my usual £2 and extra change into the sealed pot. It's absolutely persisting down outside still.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday everyone, take care and keep saving

Evening All,

Just a quick catch up tonight, am so chuffed - found a penny this morning when I went for the papers, and I found a POUND at the trolley park in Asda! That's gone in the pot, and I am intending to try and get at least one pound in for every day of February, and if I manage that next month I will make it two. Have got lots of extra work on just now so hoping I can save a good bit of the extra money, and maybe buy something nice for someone at Christmas. That's if I can stop myself from dipping in to the money pot!

Keep up the good work everyone, it's great to see such enthusiastic people here

Hello everyone ...
A fabulous 48p for the pot tonight...No roadkill found for ages , I think it's all hiding in urban cammo, lurking at the side of the roads and pavements, of my lovely home town :rotfl:.
Anyway, I was trying to use all found or 'at hand' materials to make the pot - this is why some of the 'framework' looks a little rough :D.
Time for the next instalment - cue the music....


Hope you've all had a good day rounding up the roadkill :j:beer::j.
