    I am interested in doing this but a little confussed on how to do it, can anyone help me please.

    Hiya,

    Basically a virtual sealed pot is an on-line savings account that you transfer money too. I have my virtual sealed pot with the Halifax and I transfer all money down to the nearest £10 every Friday, but you can transfer whenever you want to.

    For example, if in Friday morning I had £119.98 in my current account I would transfer £9.98. Others round down to the nearest £5 ( so that would be a transfer of £4.98 based in the example above).

    However much to transfer, it soon adds up, have a look at some of our signatures for some totals from previous years.

    If you would like to join us Palema will allocate you a number :A

    There is a better explanation in post 1 of this thread, so have a quick look :)

    Hope this helps, but if you have any questions, just shout.

    Just transferred £16.80 from our 3 accounts, bringing total for #86 to £256.81.

    Can't believe we are in May already. Well done on the totals everyone, it is starting to add up nicely.
