"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

**tracey**

Hi Sue, I found my number and have included it in my signature, thank you :cheesy:

Went a bit diy with my pot and made it from a soap and glory box. Started it off last night with £2.00 :T

Morning all, I found 5p by the washing machine, mine and in the pot it went.

Hi sue, oh I don't mean anything bad and wheni say any money I only mean my money! I was thinking as I get paid 13 times a year I don't really count that extra money so was thinking of putting some in my pot. If it's in the bank I'll only spend it on rubbish. Must stop shopping! I'm off to a good start- we had a pot with random coins in just because oh leaves them all over the kitchen. Counted up and £46 in there, also waiting for some topcashback payouts so they'll going to. Have also decided to make lunch and take to work plus make tea rather than buy it, sharing milk costs with a friend. So that's £4.40 a day-crazy! Let's hope I can stick to it!

Will go and find my number now to add to my signature.

Thanks for that Niknak, you had me concerned last night I don't mind telling you! Making lunch saves a bomb so well done there! Topcash and Quidco money is fine to put in, so no worry. Thanks so much for easing my mind.

Please, BlushingRose don't worry! It's not a race and it's not about who saves most it's about saving as and when is possible. You have to save at the rate that's best for you! Please don't let anyone elses amounts bother you, it doesn't matter to anyone if you only get a few pounds, many struggled this last year so I promise you, you're not alone. Even I struggle at times. Be happy with what's possible not what you think it should be.

Well done savers, you're all doing wonderfully. jakes-mum, I was thrilled to hear about jakes-dad's job!!!!

Got to go now folks as I've a physio appt. See you later, be good and save well - the first part being a tall order for many I know!

Have a GREAT day everyone!

1p roadkill found on the floor of Mr T express. Unfortunately I couldn't see the additional 1p I spotted on my way in by the checkout, so I think someone nabbed him

Don't stress out about it, BlushingRose. It's far better to scrape together those coppers for something you need than to bung it on a credit card. I only managed to pot 26p today which was change left from our weekly shop yesterday. No roadkill at all even though I searched the carpark (much to my OH's disgust! :rotfl:) Stick with it, at least you can have a smile with us x

It certainly isn't any of the neighbours as its a very small but lovely community where we live, all are of a semi or retirement age and most are slightly potty, but we prefer to say eccentric. There's still loads of life left in us 55+ year olds. Last year when we were snowed in, with no power and the trees were down on the lane we had bar-b-ques in the snow, huge casseroles/soup for sharing cooked by those who had wood powered stoves or woodburners, the alcohol flowed and the eggs were free.

It sounds idyllic zafiro. Can I come and live in your little community? I definitely qualify on the slightly potty/eccentric front.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
