  • Hello all and good luck for the big day tomorrow!

    I'd like to join for 2012 please - planning on having one pot for coppers and another for 20p, 10p and 5p. Going to save for the final push to pay my debts off at the end of the year.

I have been saving all year but haven't posted as I've been extremely busy doing up house, selling house, moving house etc etc. Glad to see you're all still here, beavering away. Count me in for next year, please Sue. Where do we post our totals tomorrow?

    Oh..go one then, Purpleroses...you don't mean you're keen now surely. Just :shhh: don't tell anyone else I said - ok!


    Hiya oops!!! :wave: It's wonderful to see you again...worth waiting for you might say. ;) Post on here please, oops.

    I'll then start the SPC 5 thread early on Friday morning...and we'll see you 2012! :rotfl:

    Don't forget though it'll be a tad earlier next year as the 1st & 2nd December 2012 are on the weekend when most people will want there money for shopping.

    So we'll quite possibly open the pots on Nov 29th

    ..and restart on Nov 30th

    Beware folk this is 2012 I'm talking about.

    Evening everyone
    There's definitely an air of excitement building in Sealed Pot Challenge 4. Everyone's itching to cash in their change and make declare their total's.

    I can tell you I have 16 totals in already, you naughty lot!

    Well I received 2 X £2 coins in the self service till at Mr M's today and also spotted 6p on the floor waiting to be picked up. Then there was another 6p on the tea room floor in work, so 12p for the road change pot when I get home.

    Good luck everyone with your totals
