"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

elizabunny

:DHello everyone!

42p in my pot today.

DH had another £2.50 win on the lottery -that's the 2nd one this week......maybe a hat trick!:j

DH also thinks he has a 50% share in my pot (I seem to remember he thought that once before)

Just to get it straight ...he has not:D (I am saving for a secret pressie for him)

Thank you to everyone for the congratulations, there are so many I can't multi quote you all! Thank you it's a lovely time for our family indeed. We are all smitten for sure

40p for my pot today, although another NSD I found two 20 pence pieces hiding in the bottom of DD1 changing bag. They weren't there two weeks ago when I cleaned it all out and replenished the supplies ready for when I went to hospital. But as the old saying goes, finders keepers looses weepers! :D:rotfl:

Everyone is doing really well :T

Can I ask a bit of advise please? I am doing a few challenges which means not all my change goes to my SPC. So £1 a day goes into a different pot, £2 coins going into another (well technically they go into my SP) but it's a different challenge if you know what I mean. Do you all keep your challenges seperate or would you include them in your seal pot one. I know it's just personal perference but just want to know how you all do it. Thanks xx

Hi moneymanager, to answer your question, we only declare savings that we've specifically saved for the SPC; anything else is only included with the other challenges.

I have a question - I'd like to open my pot and bank some of it because I know there's at least £50 in there just with the notes - is that OK? And how do other people do it? Just bung it in normal account and ringfence it? Or open a new account just for sealed pot?

Hi Rosy, to answer your question - you can bank it by all means. No need to keep it in a separate account - unless you wish to - but please do pop all amounts saved on your signature so you can then include them when declaring on the 29th November.

I'll be back in a jiffy to give a more general post.

A very warm welcome, lolavix and Wantahouse, it's lovely to have you with us. Enjoy yourself saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 4 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 helps so very much.

Wantahouse, very well done in all you raised from your other pots!! Don't forget to include that too in November.

Very many thanks indeed for all the Get Well soon wishes EVERYONE. I truly do appreciate them so very much. I think all's getting better now, but will keep my fingers crossed as I said that a few days ago and it proved me wrong!

just in case Sue-uu feels well enough to look in I wanted to say thanks to her support that it is six months to the day of giving up smoking cold turkey (did have one small relapse but I am ignoring it )

Soo Sue thank you again times one million for all you have done for me and the others and you rest up and look after yourself sending you a big huggle

Oh caracara, I was so delighted to read that!!! :T:T:T I'm so very proud of you, you kept up the determination that's vital for anyone wishing to quit!!! You may have been guided a little, but you are the one who made it, I promise! Brilliant news! I'll answer you asap.

Wonderful news about you having quit too, moneymanager!!!!! Very well done!!! :T:T:T

Good to hear Lily's getting better now, jakes-mum.

Very many congratulations on the birth of your baby daughter, Lookingtothefuture!!! :T:A:T Love to you all!

Hi elizabunny, sorry to hear the migraine wasn't just a threat, my DH has them and really does suffer, never after having sneezed though...poor you! Fingers crossed for your hopeful hat trick!!

I think I may go to the other extreme and pot all £2.00 coins as well just to get my total up. Searched the purse and potted 2 x £2 coins!! Ah well, its gone and I can't retrieve them - was it a rash moment??

Absolutely 100% not rash, zafiro! However, if you're concerned that it may be for the future then have another temporary holding pot to put it in, if you've not used it by pay day - then pot it!!



Oh dear shelches, but at least you were there for them! A lot to be said for that with working Mums. I do hope they're better soon and your lad's wrist recovers well.

Great news so far, Janey, fingers crossed from here on!

Well done LC 2, you clever little multi tasker you! BTW, here's a little something for being such a great secretary and welcoming folk on! :staradmin

I hope you had a lovely holiday in Egypt, nanto3girls.

You be very glad about that 1p find, mumwithamission, they mount up soon enough - AND - just imagine IF you found one every day?!!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone and do keep safe and warm!
