"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

Total banked in the last 30 days....£34.59! Shocked to say the least, £1.50 in already today. I find putting money in there is quite theraputic, and if I ever need reminding, I just open my piggy bank and look how far I've already gone.0

Another lonely 1p coin found in Liverpool Street station, I initially thought it was a bit of gum but took a closer look and it was a very furry 1p coin, although after dusting off, wiping my hands on the inside of my pocket, and feeling a bit grubby I've happily placed it in my temporary "handbag pot", also known as the outside zipped pocket. I really need to unpack my pot after moving house.Diary: Getting back on track for 2013 and beyondDEBT FREE 13-10-13 :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

More change gone in today! Didnt count it as it went in as i want it to be a surprise when i open it. It already feels quite heavy so may need to buy another when this one is full so i can actually make it to the end of the challenge before opening it.PAD Maker0
