"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

Elle1267

Hi everyone. I haven't posted for a few days but I have been potting. I found 22p in roadkill the other day. I've had some bad news this week. I was turned down for a job even though Ive done a similar role less than four months ago. I'm really disappointed.
So I'm trying to look forward to other things. Like openingmy pot next year! I'm excited already. I think I've decided what to spend the money on. A shiny new laptop. Although the current one is on its last legs. I don't know how it's going to last for the next 11 months. :rotfl:

Cheeky Sue-UU!

I've been having a deep clean inside all cupboards and draws, getting rid of the 'rubbish' (soon to be someone else's treasure) for ebay! or charity shop!

Here's to finding more today! :P

Hi Potters,

My usual £3.00 potted plus 3 shiny £2 coins :j. Some change, I didnt count, a couple of 20p and 10p - all potted. Sons potted 2 x 1p and 2 x 2p. But my 5yo wants to know why He never gets the golden ones :rotfl:.

It is Fridayyyyyyyyyyy, I am off this weekend and we are staying IN! I have planned lots of activities with the boys so we dont have to go out and spend money lol.

Sue, I hope in my dream my pot had at least £1470!!

Have a lovely Friday everyone.

Sue, I'm so glad you are pleased with your pots. I didn't order any personally so was worried if they would live up to expectations! Quick delivery too!!
I love the Simplesaver name you have given me & think that would be as an appropriate name as the one I have.

I have decided to join your lovely thread if I may please.

Many thanks
Stressed.

Stupidly happy because I found 20p roadkill this morning.
Whoever knew saving could be so much fun...

I found 5p leftover from the farmers market in exchange square yesterday There's something amusing about bankers eating hog roasts. They might take our money, but they'll get bad cholesterol so they won't be able to spend it all wohahaha

You ladies are potting loads!

I usually count mine once a week (Sundays to update here Mondays) but I am very impressed with my DH ... He comes in and hands me all his change :j

I am also please that I am picking up other peoples throwings .... Can't believe people just throw the change away!

Joined a fair few challenges - Sealed Pot, Virtual Sealed Pot and £2 savers ... I am pleased to say in just over 2 weeks we have saved £50 :eek: Can't believe how much we used to fritter away without knowing it!!

Started with £5 in my sealed pot added £4 plus last week and we are out this weekend too so all loose change (including the shiny gold ones get potted - I like to have set budgets so we never really miss it)

£2 coins are up to £12 already and just short of £30 in the savings from the odd amounts I transfer weekly ... Needless to say I am another very excited saver :T Looking forward to the Christmas outings just so I can pot the difference :rotfl:
