"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

Member 159 reporting for duty!

I have never counted my sealed pot. I learnt to drive this year and in September when I had to start paying for parking I had to take money out for the parking machine. it was the only place I had any change.

However as I am fairly MSE Sainsburys refunds the the cost of parking! so I have nearly always got a refund.

Any how I shall start again with a new tin with a padlock

Hello all,

SueUU thank you so much for running the thread again for 2012 :A.

I was going to ask you to put my target at £250 ... but as you've already transferred my previous years target over then I'm going to aim for that £350 .

I'm putting my £2 coins in Jasper the Cat ( have £46 & carrying that over) as saving toward a fab new pair of boots & plan to put £5 a week in another pot towards next christmas.

I'm not starting that until January though ... there is Baileys to be bought first

I don't think I could let anyone count mine, Absinthe Fairy, I enjoy it too much for that..aside from that I wouldn't trust them! Bankers and MY cash...no, no, no, no, no....

Ahhh, bless em, jakes-mum...you too though from the sound of it - you softie you

Hello at LAST, Palema!!! I wondered what happened to you.Sorry to hear you needed to delve in, but fingers crossed that this year will be kinder to you.

Hi mondello, lovely to see you, you're in don't worry. It'll be good to see you on SPC 4 when you've counted up.

I've sorted your Target, DomRavioli, all the best with it.

It's lovely to see you back...armed with padlock, Buffy!!

Hiya Lula, see..I obviously know you're capable of the £350..telepathic maybe? :A

Hi Sue, Do I just keep the same number and carry on? I would like to save for a holiday in August 2012 x

Hi Sue, thanks for this fred .

I bought a cheap money box thinking it was sealed but the lid fell off when i got home... ho-hum, is it still ok to join? .

Like many i'm trying to spend less and often leave debit cards and cash at home when i'm out. When i spend i usually pay by card so i don't often have loose change, but i'll do my best with this challenge.

I've no particular target, i'll just see how it goes...:beer:

Thanks Sue
I have had alot on since the middle of the year as well - I became a Weight Watchers Leader in May and it kind of took over my life - (and the reason for delving into my pot - needing change for meetings without a change card killed my pot this year) I am only now getting a good balance between working a 35 hour week and running 3 (soon to be 2) meetings a week and I have also been promoted at work so a bit more responsibility.
I will defiantely be keeping more upto date this coming year.

Of course you can still join, mud_flower! A very warm welcome to you. Have great fun saving. You'll find your number 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.

I understand what you mean about cash in a card orientated world, mud_flower, just do the best you can, for your sake. It really does help and better than not saving at all.

Oh, I can quite see how that would come about, Palema, that's life though and we need to live it. It must at least be enjoyable doing the WW as a leader; well done...for your work promotion too! See, you can't have it all ways, though it'll be good to see a bit more of you when you're able. All the best for this time around.
