"Sealed Pot Challenge 4"

I love how friendly and welcoming this thread is

Just 5p for me today which I found when hoovering under my bed. I have been costing up how much a Florida holiday (which is my ultimate dream) would cost me and so I need to get a wriggle on with my saving - 5p a day might get me there in about 100 years

Afternoon everyone, only 21p into the pot today was hoping for more as hubby insisted on going to costa coffee for a large cappuchino (which somehow I interpreted as a small latte!) but not to be
Just went to have my eyes tested and was informed by the very smily optitians assistant that my new lenses for my glasses will cost ONLY £87.30 :eek:, no wonder she was smiling so much I reacon im paying her xmas bonus :rotfl:

Hi - I did my bit of shopping today and then came home and put £9 change into cinders tin and 3p intot he whiskey jar my only day off this week so unless hubby decides we are having a takeaway treat sometime soon and withdraws some cash then no more change for a while its quite addictive! feel like spending so i have change to go into the tin!! BUt I wont!
After xmas will be trying for a waitressing job and reallly want one just so i can save up the tips! oh dear! Right, I have to pop back out in the cold now as I forgot to take my timesheet earlier and if i dont drop it off i wont get paid on friday!

Hello SPC'ers, really sorry ive not been around. Had 2 weeks of sheer hell with illness followed by family problems with my mum and dad.

Anyway onwards and upwards. This week due to the snow I need to use my spare change for bus as DH has my car grrrrrr. But will start asap with adding to my pot again, So my total still stands at £1.11.

Hope everyones ok x x

Just wanted to say Thankyou to whoever dropped a £20 note in Pembroke Dock's Asda Carpark this morning.
It has now found its way into my sealed tin 2011.

Thankyou

just had to do a mad dash to co-op as realised ive run out of milk, ham & crisps and my delivery doesnt come till 3pm tomorrow which is no use if i want a cuppa or to make hubby some lunch to take with him for his night shift tonight! loads of bargains down there today, 2 cream cakes 39p, 4 rolls 22p, milky bar/rolo yogurts buy 2 for £1 and walkers 26 pack down to £3 plus my trusty staff discount, so got £25 odd quids worth of shopping for £11.02 AND 98p change for my SP

Just realised there was a lonely £1 in my purse aswell so chucked that in aswell as i saved so much

Brilliant GG, gave me such a laugh. :rotfl: I see we've got some right comics here this time round! Teeni, you'll have to keep quiet about any notes found in future ...that's 2 takers you've had already.;)

A warm welcome to the thread piglet27. It's lovely to have you here with us. Have fun saving in 2011. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through posts 1 & 2 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much.

Well done, emiliah, a £1 a day will be good, but if you're able to up it in the summer - you're going t be going great guns!

Kerfuffle - re humongous; font of all knowledge. me! I hadn't a clue either, but what would we do without Google these days?! Will be back to you later, honest.:A <-- Me not you.

We just had an avalanche off the office roof :eek: There was a woman in collecting mail for her office and she paused on the way out the door to ask if our clock was right (it was 15 minutes slow). If she hadn't stopped to ask we would still be digging her out. Scary stuff.

By golly she was so lucky GAP! I see there's one poor lass in hospital at Glasgow through having some fall on her, only 14 too.

Trying to save - there's no need to re-join, once you're in that's it, you stick with your same No and save like mad as you just have done!!! Sadly, we've had no news at all from Stunty, still time though.

Ahh, bless you sparky. Glad someone has my interest at heart.

Just you keep religiously saving all those pennies frasersmum, you'll get there - in time. We all have our dream destinations, but they have to come at the right time - it'll show itself some day you'll see, same as mine will of Canada, though due to health problems the insurers want a colossal amount!!!

Ah, you tell him jakes-mum, they cappuchinos have got to stop - your SP depends on it!! With regards to the glasses, I reckon you're right about her as mine was just the same a little while ago, jammy beggars!

Oh dear, henna, you have got problems if you really do do this "feel like spending so I have change to go into the tin!!" Big problems!

-mummytogirls, sorry to hear about your troubles and hope, in time, all resolves itself. Did you have any Total from SPC 3??

Hi loveGSDs, good to see you popping in to say hello.

Lula-Hula - if you're looking in - your already a member!!!!!! :mad: No 465 ...a darkened room - again.

Sue x Anyone else wishing to join, please say the word, you're most welcome.
