"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

Lookingtothefuture

Hi everyone

I am in for another year. OH and I are having a competition between us to see who can save the largest amount! I have a celebration tub sealed up with a slot cut in the top so have high hopes! Lol! I found a whole 15p abandoned yesterday whilst out shopping for new shoes so quickly picked it up. Got a lovely pair of new boots for £29, reduced from £90 so have a little more change to pop in the pot too, but the notes will be going straight into my isa. Good luck everyone! And happy new year! :money:

Hi Sue-UU
Thanks for adding me to the challenge, please can you put me down for a target of £300. Started today with just 29p in my pot so far, hopefully it'll start adding up soon

Happy New Year everyone x

Can I please join in. I did not officially join this last your but still did the sealed pot, I opened it at the end of November with a massive £352.17 ! What a boost to Christmas that was.

Done led astray by LC2 & Jakes-Mum they're waiting to be mentioned in the New Years honour's list but they'll both be going to the naughty seat instead :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Of course she didn't LC 2, she knows a sack would fit the bill perfectly - for you too! It's good to know you both regard me as very much like Her Highness, however, any mentions you 2 get won't be in any Honours list, more likely on loo roll.!!! :rotfl:

HI JAKES-MUM

Does this mean that we aren't going to get our gold medal. After us being so good last year!!! Well we will just have to try harder next year!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Happy New Year Potters!

Its been a year now that I have been a member of this site and can honestly say it changed my life! I am in a much better place than I was this time last year - still a fair way to go but so far still on track.

My pot is at work but in tidying up around the house I have found a LOT of loose change - I cant believe my household is so careless with money so its in my bag ready for the pot on Tuesday

50p potted yesterday!

Happy New Year all!

Happy New Year everyone!

I had a great night out to bring in the new year, but have recently stopped drinking so ended up getting away with £5 in the whip, no taxi charges and no hangover. WOOOHOOO!

I 'borrowed' a £20 from my pot (Xmas present from my Dad) and have proudly returned it, together with 22p change!

KACHING!:beer:

I'd like to join in too :-)

I collected together all my loose change at home yesterday - cleared the windowsill and computer table in my room, found a few pence in my sock drawer (!), and emptied three coats - came to a grand total of £4.81

Just bunged another 28p in, change from picking up a few bits on the way into work.

I was toying with popping into [insert name of well known pound shop here] during my lunchbreak, but then I thought that's not really in the whole MSE spirit - so I had a look in the cupboard under the sink at work, found an old coffee jar, and demolished the lid (I was going for a nice neat hole but didn't exactly go to plan). Rooting round the cupboards some more turned up a roll of very sticky yellow and black hazard tape, so I have put most of the lid together, with a big gap for 50p coins, sealed the lid to the jar, and completely covered the jar to stop my peeking and getting tempted

My pot isn't going to win me any awards at craft shows (a few sympathetic glances possibly), but it cost precisely nowt! :money:

Plan is to put all loose change smaller than £2 in, and open it up (if I can!) when it's full. If I'm still in debt come opening day, it can go towards paying summat off - if I'm already debt free (well, you never know), I can treat myself :beer:

Here's to a great 2012 :cool:

PS It's amazing how much more positive I feel having made the decision to face up to my debts :-)
