Mozzy

Hiya,
I want in on this challenge! I wouldn't mind saving a little money as I do tend to spend any spare change on snacks!

jakes-mum

Welcome Mozzy to the pottiest challenge on the MSe boards grab yourself anything with a hole in the top, seal it up and start chucking your change in it

Our seargeant major Sue-UU will be along in the not to distant future to give you your very own, not to be lost, begged, borrowed or stealed number and will ask you to pop it on your signature and also to read the very first post that im told has lots of very useful and important info about the challenge

Sparky *The Roadkill Warrior* is our official counter upper and gives us the total saved each and every year :kisses3: it helps him very much if you ever take any money out of your pot to bank/spend etc to pop it in your signature next to your shiny number so it doesnt get missed out from the total

LC2 and I are the threads *special* girls (well thats what Sparky calls us, which im sure can only be a good thing) we keep it very lively and fun and are always on our best behaviour so dont believe anything this motley crew tell you about us

Finally enjoy saving, its up to you if you want to save this month, open on 29th with the rest of us and then start again for next year or just save from now till next december 1st, or even save for a special occasion at some point in the year, its your pot so youdo whts best for you

Another £2 coin from the lovely ldies at the post office plus another £2.05 in change as Miss Lily wanted a Toy Story Mag and was 58p short, was much easier to take all her change and give her a £10er to pay than dig out 58p (and deprive my tin of 58p change :eek:)

27 days to gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Does anyone know how much an empty pot of dreams weighs? I'm trying to guess at how much I have in mine

Hi silvermist05 - are you a member? Sorry if you are, but I just haven't had time yet to go through the list to check. If you'd like to join us please just ask. To answer your question - I'm so sorry, but I truly haven't a clue. BTW, if you are a member could you please pop your No on for me.

So sorry, little_sweetie, but a VERY Happy belated Birthday to you for yesterday!!! I'm really pleased you enjoyed it all and wish I could have been here on the day. Take care of this :bdaycake: and make it last!
Lovely to see you, Sal, hope you're doing well.

Good to see you too, Emmita, though i guessed you'd be still saving well.

20p in the pot today. I haven't put any in for weeks. I am worried there will not be much in there when I open it

Not to worry, Bublin, be happy with what you save - far better than nothing! Try to do better next year and pop all small change in etc.

I have opened my pot as I need to start xmas shopping if my presents are going to get a lift back to my parents on Dec 1st. I have £419.13 for my xmas shopping and partying this year i'm allocating £250 to gifts and the rest goes in a box till December.

Wonderful news, summertea!!!! :T You saved a great amount!! Good luck for next year, save well - again!

So pleased you had a lovely time in Scotland, jakes-mum, we adore it up there and lose ourselves in the tranquil beauty of it all. Colder but so worth it.


I agree with Ruth, Vikkiikawai, if you don't need it, leave it til next year, you may well be glad you did.

All the very best for you F-I-L, Susanne, I do hope he's still recovering well and enjoying your DH's company.


£10.43 in the pot for DH & I.

Have a great weekend, folks, Keep healthy stay safe and......keep saving!

Emptied my work tin on to the floor earlier this evening meaning to start counting it but haven't got around to it yet, need to make a start so I can get the money in the bank and use it towards the deposit and first months rent on my new flat.

When I get some change I have 9.18 VAT refund to put in the pot. Can't wait for the 29th, I'm just really curious about how much is in there, as well as liking the idea of having a bit more cash!
