"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

wannabee_in_credit

No potting for me today - I'm having a nsd. Unless I can con the better half out of his leftovers when he and ds get in from football (we did get both tickets for a fiver so I'm sure he'll have something)...

Hi there jakes-mum. The Christmas tree sounds lovely.

Nice saving, Hiddenidentity and thanks very much for bumping the other thread, much appreciated.

Hiya LC 2, you paint a lovely warm picture there with the knitting, snug as a bug.

BTW I won't be putting the Grand Total on for a day or two as folk are still declaring on the old thread. Some have been ill which is to be expected at this time of year so I want to give them all a chance.

However, you can be sure I will put it on just as soon as I can - I want to do so, just as much as you all want to see it, we just need to be a little patient. I can tell you we've beaten last year's GT though!!!! :grinheart

Hi everyone, I'm back in the game for this year. Target will be £2000 again. I'm hoping to get that golden piggy-wig full. PLEASE make 2012 my debt free year. I've started a pension now - so I really do need to grow up and cut those blooming debts. xxx

Ok folks I need some help about my potting. Do I count just what I put in the Pot or can I also add money I put in the bank. Im only asking because |I was given money by my Great Aunt and I dont think its very moneysaving if I put it in my pot rather than my ISA. can I include this?

14p in the pot today!

I save loose change in my sealed pot apart from £2 coins as I do the £2 Savers Challenge and that goes into a different sealed pot xx

Observer

I too save all coins here, except the £2 for the £2 savers challenge. I don't include that total on this thread as I feel like I have two seperate money pots which I can save for two different things that way. But I know Sue was saying when I declared my SPC4 total that many people do include it as it is all saving and that is all that counts. Entirely up to you I feel

EDIT: Although reading fishcakes question I do put money into my ISA everyweek and don't include that here either as its not physically gone in my pot. But that is just me - I would save that anyway as it comes straight out my wages so I don't feel I have put any effort into saving that cash and therefore it isn't worthy to be counted!!! I realise I sound mad, I seem to have a different rule for myself to what I think everyone else should include!! It is all saving and I don't think it matters where it comes from or goes into and should all be counted...........except I'm still not including ISA or £2's in my SPC5 total :rotfl:

Found 1p outside Sainsburys today.... in your face Mr J. Sainsbury ! that penny is going into my coffers and not yours!

Quite right Sue, we should all make the effort to visit our folks especially if their elderly.

Grrr, work tomorrow.... boooo! No rest for the wicked :beer:.

Afternoon all

Well i didnt pot yesterday as we were away, but i did manage to steal £1.71 in change (mainly 5p's and coppers) from my Hubby. I didn't do it very well as i told him i had done it. We have seperate pots so i feel it was a bit of a victory for my pot. :j

I am also only planning to include my potted money and not any other money i may or may not be able to save during the next year.

I think i may also be doing the virtual sealed pot challenge without realising, as each day i transfer the odds and sods from my bank account to a savings account to round my account down to an even amount. Be interesting to see what i can get by doing this also.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
