"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

Elle1267

Morning everyone and happy new year.

I found 20p in Ikea on Sat.
I won £4 yesterday which will go into the pot today
And I had a dream last night that I found loads of Roadkill! I think I'm officially obsessed with this challenge.

I didn't receive a terrramundi for Xmas so I'm going to buy one today. Is it advisable to put notes in it as well as coins or are they too hard to fish out? (on the 30th Nov of course)

Enjoy the bank holiday!

My tesco extra was selling big 'pots of dreams' (so basically terramundis :rotfl:) for £8 so worth a look in there

It is possible to fish the notes out with alot of patience and a pair of tweezers, but as I have no patience and would probably end up smashing the thing in frustration im sticking to coins :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sue- UU can you count me for this year please?

My pot from last year is still sealed as I'm saving for my big 40th birthday bash in Las Vegas.

I will declare my total for 18 months of saving in Aug - if that's OK with you!

Hiya Scrappie
I'm sure Sue will say it's OK to carry on and declare in August, so just carry on with your original number

Ivebeen inspired by all the posts on here to start my own pot & well just see what I get to by nearer the end of the year. I've dug around and found spare change, plus some notes for Childcare costs I had budgeted for but didn't need so in the pot today is £23.24.

Welcome to the rest of you
Sue will be along later to allocate you all a membership number, so please consider yourselves part of the gang, so enjoy the banter but most of all enjoy saving.

I also think Sue has an up to date Grand Total for SPC4 after some more declarations from some late arrivals

£2.12 in the pot for me today. Not going out again today.

I need to go out in a minute hoping that I might find a coin on the floor or something; because I do not need anything; so I do not need to spend any money....can't break into a note just to put in pot; but I am so addicted its really tempting!x

Hi Sue UU
please can I join in? I need to save up for Christmas 2012. I have a huge empty whisky bottle that I use for saving coins, it gets so heavy I can't tip it up to sneak money out
Thanks a million and good luck and Happy New Year everyone.

£1.01 into the pot today which I found in the bottom of the laundry basket (must be DH's)

Hi Sue

Please may I join? I have lurked for almost 2 years:eek: and finally got up this morning and made 2 pots (out of old Horlicks type pots , well at least Asda's version).:o

I had some coins in old piggy banks on my dresser and I have put them in my pots not sure of the amount but a start!!

I hope you won't mind if I don't set a target I would just like to do the best I can. I want to make 2012 MY year in more ways than one but don't want to run before I can walk.

Thanks

A very warm welcome, Delilahh, mlbarrett, salduck, Juliann, Archer0710, Penny2myName, moomi, Rainbow-Brite, glitterycloud (by PM), jollymummy, and newroadahead, it's lovely to have you with us. Enjoy yourself 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.

*Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it really helps.

A very Good Morning to you all, folks. A lovely day here, enjoy it.

newroadahead it's entirely up to you about putting a Target on, the problem I have is getting it in my head that you've lurked for 2 years!!!!! :eek::eek:

emmlouie I understand you're getting carried away with saving, but could you please add you number to your siggy, thanks.

Oops, I do hope you're soon feeling much better.

You're already in, scrappie everyone always is so no need to re-join. As sparky rightly says, save as you wish, but please let us know how much you save on Nov 29th or thereabouts. Thanks scrappie.

Well done MosestyB, men need a little extra tuition here and there..well except our sparky, of course.

Don't worry about how you've been with cash in the past, Thriftkitten, it's from now on that counts and you've started out well. :grinheart

Hi Elle1267, I don't think I would save notes in my Terramundi, far too much of a problem fishing out, how about doing another sealable tin for them?

Don't worry samtoby, treat today as an NSD = a no spending day, they're important too when we're trying to cut back. Mostly I have 6 of em in a week!

Oh well if it's DH's cash, so much the better eh, DorsetGirl! Always gives me a bit more of a buzz, a bit like pocket pennies! :j

Well folks after a few late comers added their Totals on SPC 4 yesterday, we have a brand new

Grand Total of £41.443.37!!!:grinheart

Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome, it's never too late.
