Sealed Pot Challenge 5 ~ Part 2

sparky0107

Evening everyone
Congratulations Sue & Lucy Hope on your Ruby wedding anniversaries.

Welcome to our newest member, enjoy the challenge, the banter and enjoy saving, stay away from LC2 & Jakes-mum they're trouble them 2, I tells ya!

Still managed my daily £2 this week along with any spare change, also plenty of tea room floor change in work and managed to pot 10 X £2 coins & 1 X 50p for the Chicago & New York 2013 spending fund.

Just a reminder 49 days (7 weeks today) to go until the grand opening. So don't forget to get your cash bags from the bank, or make arrangements with your local shop to change the coins for notes for you, don't pay into the C*instar machines (they take a 10% cut for the privilige of counting your money). If you bank with H$BC some of the larger branches have coin machine's that pay directly into you account (without the 10% cut)

Have a great evening everyone, stay safe keep saving and take care

I put a five pound note in mine the other day and will go and add one now.

Other than that it's only had one or two pounds fed to it since I emptied it!

Poor thing must be starving!

Happy weekend everyone! I thought it would never arrive. We're still awaiting a decision on the mortgage - its so stressful I feel like screaming at times!

Anyway still potting little and often - 60p going in the bottle today left over from the week. I really can't wait to know how much is in it! Not sure whether to count it or tip it into one of those machines if they have one at the bank?

What is everyone else planning to do?

Morning hun
Try not to get too stressed the decision will come soon be it good or bad (good hopefully X) and there's nothing you can do to influence the decision, so try not to stress yourself out .

My sealed pot is coming with me to the bank along with a tin opener, to be emptied into the machine and counted for me. I will also be weighing in the £2 coin & 50p coin Chicago & New York 2013 spending fund tin so we can get our dollar's spending money at the same time (if anyone is in Liverpool City cente at the same time, I'll look like the Mr Soft character (No remarks from LC2 or Jakes-Mum thanks) from the soft mints advert, I'll be bent backwards with the weight)

Have agreat day everyone, stay safe & keep saving
