Hello everyone!
Can OP please update my total... to 138.95
I cashed in a pot today with a grand total of...£104.36 in it! Its sat in my savings account getting very very cosy!
On the minus side, it was one of those savings tins you have to open with a can opener...going to poundland to see if I can't scavenge another one tomorrow!
Good luck everyone and keep up the fab work!0 -
Hi jakes-mum,
Yes the box contains 2 sachets and each makes 2 bases, you can freeze them too after making them. you do have to add oil and an egg though. I can't have too much egg but they seem okay for me and don't have yeast in which I can't have either.
Look under the make of Isabels pizza base mixes. They also do a few other mixes including dough balls which I'd like to try although they were out of stock this time.Sealed Pot Challenge Member no. 048

Well, I would have had £1.10 to put in my pot today as I didn't get the bus to town, walked instead via the doctors.
However, had to fork out for a prescription, so I waved goodbye to the £1.10.
See what tomorrow brings now.Sealed Pot Challenge No 3060 -

Good morning everyone!
Today is very overcast but no fog! Hooray! And, yes, our internet has been rubbish too. Much faster this morning....
Thanks for sympathising sue-uu regarding my wimpish behaviour on tuesday
OH is ok but I'm having to put drops 4 times a day into his very yukky looking bloodshot eye (sorry to anyone eating breakfast!) Yesterday he wanted to go out as he's so fed up doing nothing so I drove us into town (his back hurt so we couldn't walk or take the bus) and, against my better judgement, was persuaded to park in a particular spot in town which has free parking. We spent so long in the opticians asking for advice that we returned to the car later to find a parking ticket on the window :eek: and a £60 fixed penalty :mad: OH has been 'advised' that he ows me half of it so a big fat ZERO to pot and just £14 pocket money left to last until next month. I am not best pleased but can only blame myself for not using my instinct and paying to park in my prefered spot! £1.10 saved but a £60 fine 
Hope everyone has a great day and a super weekend! xSealed Pot Challenge #012

I haven't tried the big couscous, nor did i know you could get it. I have just been buying the Ainsley Harriott ones cause my sister always eats them. i thought i'd never get on with them but theyre very filling and soooooooo nice

Speaking of steak. I am going to have a mixed grill when i take my mummy and daddy for dinner tomorrow
The rare steak goes rather well with the couscous, now I think of it...Sealed pot challenger#1677

Just been to Mr. M's & got another 2 X £2 coins in my change, they'll be in the Chicago & New York 2013 spending fund pot when I get home later. 2p road change this morning while walking the dog. My usual £2 with some extra change going in later.
