"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

166million

No potting from me for a good while. Only got 76p in the bank so I will have to keep my eye out for roadkill!

OOh I've got a pound!

Hello everyone ...

Haven't had time to catch up on the posts I've missed from the last few days :eek:...But I've finished one of the projects, after much: sanding, filling, undercoating, resanding, four coats of paint and a new bargain basement set of handles (a pound - they had no bolts for the back, but I did ).

Here it is:




Haven't had much to pot this week :eek:, hopefully we'll be back on track next week ..

Oh, Happy Birthday samtoby :bdaycake:...yum, yum :rotfl:...

Happy Potting everyone

Well done- it looks like a great job!

Happy birthday samtoby! :bdaycake: I'm 27 in July so know the feeling. I felt quite young until I hit 25, now I feel quite old

Welcome redd1800! It can be a bit mad here at times but it's great motivation for saving!

little_sweetie only pay the fine if the ticket was from the police or the local council. Private parking companies try to look official and often the tickets try appear to be from the council to try and trick you but they cannot legally make you pay. Read Martin's advice on the main site for loads of info and help.

I've only potted a few pennies this week as I had to use my card a lot. I've got a few 20ps in my purse but they really should go in the car for parking .

OH and I are house-sitting for the next 5 weeks. Any ideas for meals we can cook which won't require us to buy in loads of stuff that we won't use up in the time? We haven't done our own shopping and cooking for nearly 3 years and I'm quite out of practise :eek: Want to write a menu then a list to stick to.

Have a good weekend everyone!

5 weeks is quite a long time- you should be able to use up most things in that time. Some staples to get you started:
Bean and chorizo stew
Chilli con carne/spag bol (if you make the tomatoey mince sauce you could divide it up and have some of each, adding to it to make it either bolognese or chilli)
Pasta features quite heavily in my menus. Eggs as well (omelettes, oeufs en cocotte, spaghetti carbonara etc). And I seem to get through quite a lot of tinned tomatoes and tinned pulses.
Liver and onions/bacon if you both like it.


Hope these help- you'll be fine!

Hi Redgoose,
What do you mean by potting time you go to the gym? That sounds interesting.

Found a pound in another bag last night, so in the pot that went.

Also, for the first time in over 3 years, I have been able to start putting into my savings account. As I get paid on a Monday, I'm taking out what I have left on Sunday from the ATM. Anything that's coinage is going in the pot, and anything that is notes will go in the ISA.

Still got my debts, but they're much more manageable now - and I'm working heaps of overtime to clear it all.

Brilliant - well done. There is light at the end of the tunnel!:D

Ooooo well done Nanto :T

Im still waiting for my computer tower win to arrive (been 3 1/2 weeks ) DH driving me up the wall for it, you'd think he'd won it the way he goes on :rotfl:

Got a horrible earache today, think it might be an infection so have taken some pain killers for it Decided theres no point going to doctors as by the time I get an appointment it will probably have cleared up on its own

Nothing potted as havent been out today

Thanks jakes-mum.Hope your tower win comes soon,but i know they usually say allow 28 days for delivery.
Hope your earache clears up soon.
