"Sealed Pot Challenge 4"

Just a quick update.
Sealed pot number 2 is now full and weighs 4.02kg
Pot 3 started today :j
I think I may open both full pots and bank the money. It has just occured to me that I could have close to £500 sitting in my house all neatly potted for a thief to pick up and walk out with. Has anybody got an opinion on whether I should? If I do bank the money, I will not spend it and it will still be there on 1 December.
I will be back on Friday.VSP Challenge 2010 No 19 - £416.09 , 2011 No15 - £497.17, 2012 No9 - £146.52. 2013 No5 - £113.92SPC4 No1066 - £948.95,SPC5 No1066 - £659.49 (2 stone 13lbs)SPC6 No1066 - Pot 1 - 3.03b. Pot 2 - 3.05lb Pot 3 - 3.0lb0 -

Well done on two full pots Melgirl.
I dont blame you. My friend pointed this out to me the other day too, but I have no idea whats in my tin
I think Sparky would tell you to just update your sig with the amount you bank so that he can count it towards the totals at the end.
If I am wrong then I am sure he will put you right. Others are banking as they go along too.;)Footiemad:footie: 2013 - SPC no.1147...Keeep potting!!

Right, I am back.
I have counted both pots and will bank the money over the next few days. I am only allowed to bank 5 bags of money per day in my bank
There was £40.81 that would not fit neatly into the plastic bags so I have transferred £40,81 from my current account to my savings and put the change in pot number 3.
The pots contained £414.81 in total. I will update my sig now
