    Helloooo everyone

    Just a quick update - potted £4 over the weekend. Pottings seem to have to have slowed right down as there seems so many demands on so few funds at the moment. Never mind - we will get there ;)

    Hope you're still on the mend Sue.

    :hello:

    Hi all. I've decided to throw myself back into Sealed Pot Challenge. I'm setting myself a target of £600 for the beginning of December. There is about £35 in my pot so far.
    Not going to be keeping totals. Will just hope and pray for a BIG surprise come December 1st! Wishing you all the best of luck!

    Hi all
    I've got a huge confession to make.... I've done a bad, bad thing! I've given in to temptation and opened my pot! Instantly regretted it! I had in £139 which is good. So I am banking that tomorrow and already have anoAther pot started. Can't believe I was so weak (sob).
    Oh well tomorrow's another day......
    Hope everyone else is well (and stronger willed than me!)

    My Pontin’s snooker holiday in May is 3 weeks away I normally go to 2 Snooker events May & September I started saving at the end of last September.Any spare coins I had at the end of the day went into the Jar
    After seeing this thread, I thought I would give it a try! Because I struggled a little for cash in September, I had enough but only just.
    Well I have had a count today and money saved since October 2010 = £696.00 amazing! So cost of the holiday including my petrol = £150 leaving me £546.00 spending money which of course I wont be spending all that lol,
    In fact it will cover my holiday in September, so the coins certainly mount up I highly recommend this method of saving which I will continue to do.


    Thats brilliant, thats what the pot is for. Have a fab time in May and you can sit back and relax knowing that your September holiday will be sorted too. :D:D

    That makes me feel realy postive for my holidays in Sept/Oct and Christmas too.;)
