"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

Now I'm officially potty...
Using my Mrs Man Utd piggy bank (hoofs crossed for Sunday)!
And I've made a start - £4.29 in copper already sat there waiting for me and £20 Christmas money I've not spent yet!
Trying to draw up a list as I am doing £2012 challenge as well. What money to put in which pot. Have come to conclusion that the Sealed Pot Challenge end result will go towards my £2012 challenge total as it's all my money and therefore should be lumped together in my opinion!
Good luck everyone and eyes down :rotfl:0 -
ETO Wishing you a Happy Birthday.

AlternateMe wrote: »Hi RedGoose, a few years ago I set myself a news years resolution of not having my morning Starbucks (a tradition i'd been doing for the previous 2 years!) and taking in a flask with herbal tea instead, in an attempt to save money and cut down my caffeine. Every day, Monday to Friday, i'd get to work and before I did anything else i'd open the internet and transfer £2.25 to my savings account. I did that so it felt worth it every day to have sacrificed the coffee and so I didn't get complacement. I I did it for literally the entire year (from my birthday in Jan-birthday following Jan) and guess how much was in there at the end... £535!!!! :j
I thought this was really worthy of a special mention, AlternateMe, brilliant work, so why not restart it?! Or surely there are other such things you ALL could be giving up and gaining huge amounts from:question::question:! Why give it to others??!!!! :eek:ModestyB wrote:I think I'll have to forsake an nsd soon so I can get some change to go in the pot. I keep hearing sobbing and wailing coming from it, do you think the inhabitants are getting lonely?:rotfl:
