Morning folks

I haven't been keeping up with the thread but wanted to pop on and say that I took some change out of my pot last night to put it in the bank (I hate having money lying around the house) and have added £48 to my account! This goes on top of the £45 I took out of the pot earlier in the year when I lost my ipod and had to replace it.
Thanks for the inspiration - I've updated my sig to show what I've already counted up

Hi Everyone,
Haven't been posting recently, but I am still saving in my sealed pot. Have no idea how much I have, but it feels very heavy, and I am keeping it till the end of the challenge if I possible can. Still getting the odd roadkill, and when I am cleaning and doing washing, it's finders keepers for the pot. I actually make quite a lot out of that! That's the payoff for doing the work.
Inspired by the people on here, I have set up a dd with my credit union to try and get a bit more savings by the end of the year.Sealed pot Challenge 2011 member No 1241 - Final total £154.21
