Sealed Pot Challenge 5 ~ Part 2

jakes-mum

welcome pantherchick :wave:

its never to late to join the potties . . erm I mean the sealed pot challenge You can decide to start now and keep going till end of november and open with the rest of us then start again, or start now and keep going until next nov/dec, its your pot, you do what works for you

Sue-UU the all powerful tisroc (may she live forever) . . umm sorry ive been reading alot of Narnia this week . . . will be along at some point in the very near future and allocate you your very own, one of a kind, needs to be polished daily, number and ask you to pop it on your signature. If you have a target you want to save, let her know and she'll add it to your number on the first page

How you run your pot is again up to you, we have some that bank as they go along as they dont like lots of money round the house (please add any money you bank to your sig as this helps the all powerful Sparky with his adding up spreadsheets), others of us like big heavy pots to count up on opening day so leave them all year

Please have a read of page 1 as this has much wonderful and helpful information about the challenge and how it works and if you have questions you can always ask us, we are all very nice, LC2 and I are the nicest and are well known for being the most well behaved on the thread so act as we do and you'll get on fine , some count their pennies as they pot, some refuse to have any idea whats in the pot and just stuff whatever they have in there! We all tend to post when we pot, just to keep the thread moving and motivate each other, but it is up to you

Now I may be wrong but I *think* there might be a list of other challenges somewhere, though I have no idea where. Of the top of my head, there is the £2 savers club, virtual sealed pot (same as us but all done online, sweeping excess money from your bank into a savings account) for anyone with debt theres the Debt Free By Xmas 2012 (though alot of us wont be so this will start again on 26th Dec, but we still like new people now!), Earn £10 a day in *whatever month it is* (this is obv monthly lol) . . . hmm theres loads tbh it depends what kind of challenge you want

Well I don't know if it's ok to do this, but I'm using my sealed pot to go towards clearing 1% of my debts (on top of my usual monthly payments). It feels like I'm working towards something concrete. Added 7p to my pot (LC) and counted the contents; grand total of £5.22 towards my total!!

£2 coin in the pot ooooooooo I just love the thought of all those £2 coins coming out on count up day (though I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally want to open it now! Now Sue Now :j) plus a lickle bitty 2p to keep it company

Jenny, you use your pot to save for whatever you want, this will be the first year mine will NOT be used for debt (as im paying off my debts by xmas 2012 ) or christmas (as my xmas will be won :j :j) so im using mine on a deposit for a proper holiday next year for the 4 of us

Hi 50p into the pot today, leftover from this week's money. I did find 2p road kill the other day but my eldest DS promptly took it off me to put into the charity box - I didn't have the heart to say he couldn't as it was a kind thought .

found 25p in someones jeans pocket as I was checking before they went in the washer. Well if they can't be bothered to check before they are put in the washing basket then I am afraid it goes in the pot;)

Hope the weather cheers up a bit for the bank holiday weekend.
