"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

sparky0107

Evening everyone 2 X 50p's & 7 X £2 coins today for the Chicago & New York 2013 spending fund. Also 6p (so far!) tea room floor change in work and I will be potting my usual £2 when I get home later. It's bally cold here.

Everyone seems to be saving very well, so keep it up, stay safe & keep saving

Turns out that my sealed pot wasnt so sealed and a good bit of jiggling and shaking managed to net me just over £8 which bought us food when I had completely and utterly run out of money - January was a tough month!

Its a shame, but I keep reminding myself that I'm still going forward, not sliding into debt.

Today I have a bit of change and 10p roadkill to restart, so will be feeding poor empty tin tonight.

Hello sams247
Can you do me a big favour please? Will you pop the amount you've taken out of your pot & pop it into your signature, it really does help when we do the Grand Total at the end of the challenge As the official counter upperrer, it's my job to count every last shiney total that gets posted

Hi Sparky

I waved as I went over on Tuesday did you see me :rotfl::rotfl:


oooooooh it was cold walking down those steps .


Are you still doing overtime ? I expect you are excited now. How much much longer before you go away? It was great going away made a nice break.

It was even nicer checking my lottery numbers I won £10 :j:j:j

Just in case you didn't read the above post I won £10 on the lottery :j:j:j


Been really cold today so hardly been out have put a few pence in the pot Have really got to go shopping tomorrow been sending DH he can manage up to 4 things now :T but I really do need a proper shop. The big question is Do I take him with me (He carries the bags but moans) or do I leave him at home and go on my own no one moaning but have to carry bags!!! Decisions!! Decisions !!!

Congrats on the win :Tcouldn`t tell you the last time I won anything on the lotto. DH`s do come in handy for bag carrying duty but is it worth taking them? I`m not sure mine always manages to sneak a couple of packets of biscs in when I`m not looking (think he`s some kind of magician or spy or.... no probanly not) Tough choice:)

Welcome home, hope you had a great time. And coming back to a lottery win! Your name certainly suits you.
As for DH, take him to carry all the bags home but make use of a yard or so of parcel tape. It's cold enough to wrap his scarf around his face to hide the tape so you won't be charged with cruelty to husbands! :rotfl:

Evening all potters, I have £1.25 to feed my terramundi pot tonight, she is getting rather a podgy tummy :-)
I also have a shiny 2 pound coin for the tin at mums.
Not sure if anyone noticed but this morning I drew back the curtains at about 06:30am and the sky was soooooo amazing, so many stars it felt like I had 3D glasses on, was really beautiful... Anyway I'm off to the land of nod as I'm starting my tea and hugs round early again tomorrow
