"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

sparky0107

Roadkill is now going into it's own pot so I can let you all know how much I've got back from the bankers by the end of the year.

I do the same, I keep road change seperate from my sealed pot, I then open it up on the 1st April (Fools day, for all the one's who throw their change away), this pays for my scooter MoT(£25), tax (£16) & any left I put petrol in the tank. I haven't had to fork out for tax or MoT for the last 2 years

Yeah but you find loads of roadkill, bankers don't throw as much away as young children in playparks

OH!! I am soooo stressed!!
Took Mr LC2 shopping. Thought we would get all the Christmas tins,packets,cleaning stuff etc out the way. Printed list of from my supermarket. Easy. Gave DH the list as we got out the car I went and got trolley, large one, first mistake I didn't need a large one as a small one would be easier for me. Ok, fine swap trolley with a smile. He needs the toilet it's cold outside. Worse than a toddler . Right I will wait for you here. Still smiling. He comes back walks past me and goes in shop, Call him back sweetly and we start on the travels. Spends ten minutes looking for the list that I never gave him eventually finds it in his wallet. Didn't ask how it got in there!! Smile a little strained. Then we begin. Do we really need this? Are you sure we need this many? Would the smaller size not do? Have you seen the price of this? This was cheaper last year. I don't like these. No, but I do!! Smile disappeared completely!! and so it went on. Trolley overflowing.Look how many people there are? Why are only 4 checkouts open? . Does everyone need to come out on a Thursday? This checkout is slow. You should have gone on the other one see that lady was behind us and she's paying.Eventually we are there I put on belt he packs no it's not that easy he can't open the bl..... bags!!
I pay with all my valued op ions cards and daily mail cards and 36p.
Is he thrilled ? No , no comment but can we go and have breakfast cos he is starving?? The answer is, NO I need a cup of tea in MY home, sitting in MY chair and a packet of paracetamol's .

And the worse is on the way home he wanted to know if we should go shopping Christmas Eve or the day before for all the fresh food. I think I need a couple of months break !!!

Hello,

I'm new here and would like to join the sealed pot challenge, can someone tell me how to go about it?

DorsetGirl_2

Pots not arrived yet, though it has been dispatched so it might be here tomorrow :j

Have £6.50 waiting for when it arrives.

supasick

potted about £3 i think. Stopped counting so i can have a lovely surprise once i open it! Does anyone have any trouble paying in the coinage once the pots are opened?

Hi,

If it's not too late can I join please? I have been reading for a while and this seems like a good place to start, especially as I have 3 sealed pots waiting to be opened for the Christmas shopping this year. What better way to keep me going for next year! I dug out a jar to start with and my opening balance is only 34p, but it's a start right? *grins*

You have to take advantage wherever you get the chance

You're always picking on your poor hubby, there he was, willing to help you shop & all you can do is criticise the poor fella :rotfl::rotfl:
