£4 went into the pot recently.. out of curiousity are most of you keeping tabs on how much is in the pot as you go along or saving yourself for a surprise? i've been updating my sig as I went along but now thinking of scrapping it and having a nice surprise when full.. choices choices :P

Just stumbled across this thread and I started doing this from January this year. I have to confess that my pot isn't sealed but I only put money in it.;)

So far I have £224 in my Christmas fund and hope to reach £250 by end on November.

Meant to say that I'll do the sealed pot for Christmas 2013...

Hi everyone,

not been on for few weeks, been adding the odd £4 in £2 coins, and swaping my change pot with £2 coins at work, althought seams £1 pot has not been fed for a while.
My sister came today with £20 worth of £2 needless to say i swapped them for the money i made from a nappy cake:j

really looking forward to opening my pot in 87 days

Another 2p into the pot - which my DH had left lying around - very careless . I've now got 2 pots as my old one is full . Neither is actually sealed as they are old coffee jars but I've never used the money except to exchange notes for coins when I needed change for the bus. No-one else in my house knows about them otherwise I think they would be raided :eek:.
