"Sealed Pot Challenge 4"

fedupandskint

I put £10 into mine today - balance now £90. I'm putting in £20 a month so need to put another tenner in this month. Nice to see it adding up now!

I have made myself a proper sealed pot now using the balloon and paper mache method! It was quite good fun, if slightly messy. Hopefully the children can't 'borrow' anything out of it now. I am fed up of hiding it in different places so they can't find it!

Thanks I had a wee bit of help as my kids got a small pot of cash from a taxi driver granda who keeps all the 'small change' and I get the honour of buying it off them!!!

Im a bit late, but can I join too? We have a piggy here thats been holding our change for 8 years, but it due to retire due to the cracks from when i dropped it a few months back. We count it every now and then, bank a round number and put the change back in, so never really known full total in it. Our last count was January, so will find a new pot and keep it sealed til December then add it to Daydream Fund (a house with land for smallholding is the goal!)

Hello there LMac of course you can join, its never too late to save.:D Our leader Sue had a fall and so is out of action on here for a while:( but we do have Sparky her deputy and he will be along some time soon, may be tomorrow and he will give you the official welcome. Sue will allocate a number to you when she returns, which hopefully wont be too much longer.

Welcome to the mad house of savers.

Decluttering

Cleaned out one of my drawers yesterday, I found a grand total of 6p and 1 cent The 6p has gone in my pot, all suggestions welcome on what to do with the 1 cent! I almost put it in the pot so I can worry about it in December but I don't think that's an effective way of dealing with it!

Evening everyone

Another day over and the end of the bank holidays until the end of the month Hope you have all had a fab time.

Well to fat club I went and stayed the same, so no gains there then, however gained a lovely crisp fiver and some change for the pot and changed some £ coins for x 2 golden ones, so a productive coin potting collection.

For Rosie £5.12, £4 for holiday pot and an additional 15p from the old purse for Rosie too. Bloomin marvellous

No idea for the1 cent Decluttering, but I do have some american coinage too from a few years ago so you could send it my way.:rotfl::rotfl: I am supposed to be going to NY in Sept.

Have a good day tomorrow everyone and happy potting.
