    not long until the time to crack open the pot! yet I have no idea what to spend it on?!

    can I join in for next year please? :)
  • Morning guys,

    Been a really crazy year for me, my sealed pot is likely only going to be a few pounds if that, been through the ringer a bit but finally coming out the other side, hopefully next year will be better as at the moment my sealed pot started again yesterday with 80p... haha!!

    Sealed pot challenge number 1004.
  • Thank you Kerry Woman, LuckyCharlie and Sue-UU!!

    We had a little girl, Charlotte, born 17.10.11. Weighing 7lb5oz.

    She's amazing :smileyhea

    Congratulations LuckyCharlie!

    £24 will be my total for 2011. I will use the £1.90 to start 2012 pot. Definitely want to be here more often next year! Yes, we are busy but she's totally worth it! Dh is really into it, he was putting 20p/50p/£1 coins in and I would only dare to part with coppers and 10p's lol. But I'll definitely be saving higher amounts next year as we didn't even notice the money gone.

    Excited to see everyone's totals on the 1st! Well done Jakes_Mum that total is fantastic!

    Of course you can join, J_Devon and mushy pea! A very warm welcome to you. biggrin.gif Have great fun saving. You'll find your numbers at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much


    Please James, have a read through the very 1st post, it'll tell you all you want to know.

    4p is a great start, mushy pea! Please read the entire welcome bit above..if you haven't already

    Hi ALJA, good to see you back. You don't need to rejoin, everyone stays and the numbers remain the same. BTW, if you're not needing the money why not keep it by or bank it for when you need something or a holiday.


    Hi again, saraberry! It doesn't matter if it's only a few pounds or whether it's loads, if it helps you then that's all that matters. Hopefully, next year will be a better one for you.
    But I'll definitely be saving higher amounts next year as we didn't even notice the money gone

    That is so true, toriaterrier, all the best with next year and very well done with what you've saved. :T

    Thanks a lot for letting us know of your darling Charlotte, toriaterrier, many of us here just love babies and kiddies so it's always good to hear about them. She was a perfect weight, love the name too. All best wishes to you all.

    Just 2 more days to pot, folks!

    Well done on the total Jakes Mum and the others that have opened already. Its so exciting every day I am logging on to see who has opened their pot :D

    I have put £1.20 in my tin today and am already wishing away 2012 so I can open it. I would like £150 but anything would be better than nothing as I just dont save. :D

    Hi LAM, would you like me to put your target down as £150?? Entirely up to you, some do some don't. So pleased you're finding it so exciting now, it'll be YOU next year too! NEVER wish a year away though :naughty: just enjoy it and the savings and aim for as much as you can. ;)

    Ok Lam will do in just a mo. Well done for the way you're going to be saving. I count mine as I save it, but take no notice, if you know what I mean. Haven't a clue what it'll be! :j

    OK Lam, all updated now, all the best with reaching it.
