"Sealed Pot Challenge 4" ~ Part 2 ~

LAM2011

Helllooo everyone I have just been looking through various challenges to see what I can do for next year as I have really enjoyed the challenge I took part in this year (my first year). I have a money box next to my desk at work and a very tempting vending machine downstairs and have decided that I would like to join this challenge and every time I go to buy anything I will put the money in the pot I will open it December 2012 and it can be my Christmas Bonus

I will also put other odd coins that I have after learning from you lovely folk on here into my tin. Off to go scour the car park for pennies now :rotfl:

Ooooooo Im just so angry!! so ive come to moan at you lot

DH set off to work at 1pm and has walked back in the door at 3pm as they have laid him off so all that talk about a contract at christmas was a big old pile of baloney so am now completely upset and hoping to goodness that there is enough money in the SP to cover decembers mortgage payment just incase the agency cant get him anything else

Thank you very much government for your new 'helpful' law about agency workers, you have just cost 12 agency workers at DH's work their job over the last 2 days so the company can avoid having to pay extra money. WHy did you try and fix what wasn't bloody broken in the first place?!?!

Well - I couldn't wait till Dec 1st needed the money to pay for works xmas dinner and other xmassy bits.
So my total was £110.28 was quite pleased as hadn't really done much apart from odd loose change here and there.

Want to do it again next year but will try and include car boots and a set amount of change every month. How do I sign up for next year?

Thanks I plan on getting my OH sneakily involved by buying him a sealed money pot for his birthday, he's terrible at saving money so this should give him a kick up the bum!
