Sealed Pot Challenge 5 ~ Part 2

ModestyB

Hi all, I've potted a few bob lately. can't remember how much, including a 5p shopkill.
I'm afraid I've used some of my savings already, out of the banked coins.
Groupon had an offer I couldn't refuse, an overnight stay with meals at an hotel with a Mystery Murder night! All for £99 for the two of us. I can't wait.

Welcome to all our new potters.

Hugs to all who need one.

Good morning everyone
Sorry I've been AWOL, having a bit of bother with our new neighbours. Had to go out & buy security camera's to put up on the front & rear of the house :mad:

Oh dear- that doesn't sound good! If they're tenants then the landlord is responsible for ensuring that they don't commit antisocial behaviour:

Hope this helps (neighbours eh?).

Hi all,

I actually managed to pot some cash in my inpecunious state! £1.60 into the pot which makes it now a nice round £70. I am running behind with my potting, but am not too unhappy about it. I put extra into my mortgage and the capital is reducing by £1,000 every month, so not all bad.

Hope you are all well and congrats to littlesweetie for your philanthropic efforts. You are a true diamond! :beer:

Wow- wish I could reduce my capital that quickly! Keep at it!

The £2 coins weren't fitting in any more so I counted the cash in my pots (separated into "copper" in a mustard jar and "other" in a syrup tin) and have bagged up £36 to take to the bank tomorrow (still quite a lot in the syrup tin, but it wasn't baggable).

The tin will be fed a bit more today as I made it to the gym this morning for the first tiome in about a month- wooo :j

2 x £2 coins today - change from buying laces for Miss Lilys new tap shoes and a trip to the post office, 11p out of my purse and a forlorn 1p roadkill from the post office as well

littlesweetie Good for you on raising such a great amount for such a great cause, you should be really proud of your efforts :T

Been potting my usual £2 a day plus a bit extra change, 52p tea room floor change yesterday, also had a £10 lotto win

Oh sparky what a nightmare for you :mad: I hope they move on soon. Well done on the lottery win though! And thank you so much for the kind words :kisses3:(sorry mrs sparky...I just had to do that ) They are much appreciated.

Brilliant news regarding the mortgage Susanne, very well done! And thank you too for the kind words :kisses3:

I just potted a shiny new 5p belonging to DH which he had left sitting amidst a pile of old mail. Ater repeated [STRIKE]demands [/STRIKE] ahem requests to move it all I have just 'filed' it myself (mostly in the bin ) Also potted 6p change from my purse. It all helps...

Have a lovely day all! x

I've just seen this thread after coming back to the forums and decided to join in! I've been putting spare change in a pot for a while now but i have used it for bus fare when needed.

However, now i really want to try and save up for either christmas or towards a holiday and so will not be dipping in.

Let's see how much i have by christmas then. Probably not a lot as i'm a poor student to start, but spending less overall should help!

Started off by emptying my wallet of all the change and finding 2p roadkill . Total added today = 37p
