    Hi there ILoveEoin

    Welcome to the mad house:D Our leader Sue-UU had a bad fall and so is out of action for a while:( but she will allocate your number on her return. Sparky is keeping us all in line and will be along at some point to welcome you with open arms. Happy saving;)

    [QUOTE=ThunderCat 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 there ThunderCat

    As already said Sue is not around at the moment but I am sure Sparky will be along to welcome you back properly. ;)

    Apologies for having been awol for a little while, work's been insanely busy recently. On the upside it means my work tin is full once again, so I'll be getting it emptied out and banked over the next few days.

    Things are so slow for me now, ever since I cashed in the money from my pot to pay for the plasterer :o Anyway, DH said he would give the money back to me when he got his bonus so I am sure I will find the enthusiams again.

    Hope every one is ok :j
  • Just popped 12p in

    37p in the pot today, 1p of which was found in a basket full of screws?!?!? WHY we have basket of random screws is known only to the husband, who assures me he knows exactly what they are for . . . only thing that worries me is that we dont seem to own anything that has screws missing . . .

    They're for 'stuff' jakes-mum...I know his logic :D, for I too, have the box of screws :p. Also, dowels, hinges, etc. They come in useful, honest :rotfl:... Sssshhh Footiemad ;), I'll have you know, when I screw something in, it's in proper. Proper, is a genuine word, I've seen it in the dictionary and heard it in conversation before :D :rotfl: :D.
    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).

    Four hail Mary's and a big shiny smile from you mommyof4. For we all give in to temptation my dear, and should not judge :D :rotfl: :D ***done in a mock southern babtists voice***. £139 though, that's brilliant!!! I'm not touching mine, I'm keeping all the joy for December :p...I'll be like the kids at Christmas :D. Is it time yet? What time is it? Can we open it yet? :rotfl: :D :rotfl:. At which time I'm sure the lovely wife will elbow me, and tell me to go back to sleep...

    Anyway 6p in roadkill from the last two days and one genuine pound for the pot today :beer:.

    Hope you all have a good day potting :j...

  • Hi everyone and greetings from the sunny north west. i have been saving any £2 coins as well as any loose change i can spare and now have £30.20 in total. I have had a big car bill this month so not been able to pot much - hopefully things will improve over the next few months though!
    bye for now
