Sealed Pot Challenge 5 ~ Part 2
Comments

Hello everyone.
I forgot to tell you that I opened my pot on 23rd June to give my daughter some cash for travels to Asia.
It contained the grand sum of £19 so I have been helping her out each week.
Will get a new pot and start again I think.Here dead we lie because we did not choose
To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
But young men think it is,
And we were young.

. 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:.
Your secret is safe with us Mrs A to S !:D I keep my tin in a cupboard too :rotfl::rotfl:
A princely 52p potted today left over from my weekly allowance.

Hello Everyone!:j
Sorry I've been MIA since May.I will read and try and catch up a bit with all your news - hope you are all well. Is Jakes mum still as much of a troublemaker as I remember?
And is Sue UU as fabulous as ever?
I still polish my prized star regularly.
Things have been a bit tough round here. Had surgery, been on crutches, lost job. But on the fab side BiL moved out into a flat of his own and DS passed his A levels and goes to uni in a couple of weeks (£120 a week for accommodation :eek::eek::eek:) So by the middle of this month it will be just DH and I .... bliss.
Still popping coins..... have had to start pot number 2 as number 1 got full of shrapnel. Am trying really hard not to open it though its a real temptation since I've no income any more. Have got a telephone directory delivery round later this week - am looking at it as my gym membership but they pay me instead of me paying them!:cool:
Hugs all round :beer:
