    Thanks for giving me my sealed pot number sue-UU.

    Signature updated - now just hoping to hit the £200 so I can send my other half away on a driving experience to Silverstone at Xmas to thank him for all the help he gives me throughout the year (he buys most of the groceries so I can concentrate on paying off debt - he is such a sweetheart).

    Ahhh, your OH sounds wonderful, Loubell, vice versa too by the sound of it. All the very best in clearing your debt asap, I know it seems a heck of a long time away, but time flies past quickly and you'll soon enough both be jumping for joy that it's gone! :j:j BTW, I've updated your £200 Target that I forgot earlier. :o

    You NOT be rude, jakes-mum? Oh well lets blame sparks and nu1isit? they're fellars and can take it. BTW, where on earth is LC 2?? They only went for a week so I hope all's well. :(

    Hi guys, well first of all I apologise for being such a lurker on this page without posting more. I love to read eveybodys potting achievements. I have been motivated to come over and post on here by the 'Pay all ur debt by Xmas 2012 challenge', as a few of the peeps have been chatting about how they use their sealed pot. Now, I understand that the pots are supposed to be left alone, but I have really been struggling with money this month so I popped down to the H3BC with my pot to put it in my account so I can declare that SPC #1462 has banked £10.77 :j
    I have another pot on the go now but I WILL keep doing this and use it to pay my debts instead as I really want to get as much cleared as possible by Xmas this year. :) gosh I do hope you guys understand :) Its really been helping me to pot up all the change and pick up ALL the roadkill I find (much to the embarrassment of anyone who is with me) :rotfl:

    And now secondly I have decided to post all the ways I have added to my pot for you to enjoy.
    :) Change left in the nexsus metro ticket machines (80p in one week from this!)
    :) Tips from the odd bar shift that I do once in a blue moon.
    :) ALL the money I could find on the floor clearing up after said bar shift ( I think this was nearly a fiver's worth, it is all in the new pot)
    :) Roadkill (of course, love it!)
    :) Raiding the pockets/sofa/OHs side of the bed because he moults change.
    Aaaaaaaaand thats about it :T
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    Hi suzitiger, it's good to hear about your savings and what you've just banked. Very well done!! Don't worry as I do understand that many folk struggle to pay debts, so that's fine to pay yours with whatever you save - why not!! One thing to ask you though, please would you kindly pop the total banked so far onto your signature? Many thanks and all best wishes in getting debt-free asap!

    Well done Rosy!
    Sleep well folks.
