Hi
I'm brand new and in quite a loy of trouble financially (nearly £20000). I have been in touch with the CCCS and am waiting for a budget/DMP so I suppose I am being proactive BUT when I spoke to the CCCS counsellor about maybe trying to save a bit each week to make extra payments she said it wasn't really a sensible thing to do as the budget they work out is supposed to be what you live on and you shouldn't 'go short' - so I think the sealed pot cahllenge is the only way to try and save a tiny bit. What does everyone out there think? I am here because I'm hoping for some support - my grown up kids are cross with me (I've always struggled with money and I guess they've seen too much) and I'm on my own.
Have pot - will put money in.

I'm new to this too but I think if you can even save a little bit it will all help! I only put my small change in and I'm amazed at how much is in my pot after a short space of time. Everyone on here is so lovely and encouraging so see how you go. Good luck!!! xx

Hi fellow potters,

I got a lovely shiny £2 coin in my change so that went in the pot on tuesday & I put a plain gold one in today.

I haven't put anything in all week because I have limited any spending to the weekend only.

Tomorrow is my takeway day so I will be in tomorrow with lots of change!

Whatever do you mean by, 'appropriated response' Footiemad?
I can't help but think you have a bit of a cheeky sarcastic tone to your voice :D....
I have made a little progress with the 'monster/box' luckycharlie and Sue U-U. Unfortunately the camera phone died (still in the process of getting parts :eek:), so I can't show you yet. I also need to get some paint this weekend, so I can get on with finishing it . Oh well....:rotfl:
Right, I've got a 104 of your lovely English pence to stick in the pot today (that's from the past two days). The roadkill has all but dissapeared :eek::rotfl::eek:....What could this mean? :rotfl:

Hope you've all had a good day potting :T.

NU1ISIT? Me never!!!! :D But you did come up with a response. Nice to see you. I wait with baited breath as I am sure everyone else is for your creation. I thimk your afraid to complete it, incase it attacks you!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

65p for me today. Change from Slimming World, gaining pennies and losing pounds in a round about sort of way!! 1 stone and 8lbs to be precise :-) almost at target!! Told my Mum about this thread and she very kindly chucked some coins my way. Saw a penny on the floor at work but it was right by someones desk so for the second day running I decided to own up and put it in our charity pot. Thought about doing the 'see a penny pick it up all day long you'll have good luck' thing but chickened out!!

Well done on the weight loss Nicky. :T:TI know what you mean, even though I have stayed the same for the past 2 weeks. I am with the opposition WW, but we are fellow potters and fellow losers, so no fisty cuffs on this thread.;):rotfl::rotfl:

Hiya Footiemad, don't worry ~ as you now know ~ I'm back and well and have my eye on you for sure! :idea:I'm still looking out for nu1isit? Too, though I'm sure you're right and he's locked away in his Lab...maybe even struggling against the demon he's created!!!

Hi there Sue Welcome back I knew you wouldn't be far away, but just like to check. I need keeping an eye on :A He is bringing the naughties out in me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
