"Sealed Pot Challenge ~ No 6"

Savingforsomeday

Happy New Year to you all!
Started the new year savings by adding £2 to my little pot. It's getting full already! Might have to buy a new one in the sales to move on to as I don't think my jelly bean tin will last til November!

Well I've added another £8.67 to my Total tonight.... :T :T :T

I really feel like I'm getting the hang of this Saving thing....I have NEVER saved money before....but I'm determined that next Christmas I will have the money in my Bank rather than having to borrow for it!!

Onwards and Upwards!!

That was truly splendid to real, Helen, moments like this make me delighted to be doing this, sparky too, I know. Never stop saving!

Found a bag of 10p's earlier, so am now potting £3.70. First proper potting of this year, although there is still a few pence/pounds left in from last years.

It's so good to have you back, Delilahh! I'm thrilled you're on your way and hope it's a much better year!

Wow amazing total guys.... so proud that £96 of that was mine lol.

Doesn't it make you feel so immensely proud, Thriftkitten. :grinheart BTW, there's no such thing as only 97p! It all counts, and incidentally, sparky's on nights....or so he says!

In case you're wondering if you're seeing double, sparky.......

......I've sorted summertea out complete with No.

Truly wonderful saving, everyone, keep hard at it.

A bit of shrapnel added to the demi-john over the past few days.

Will be interesting come November to see if we've saved more this year than last year

£3.32 added to the pot this morning.

OK so supposedly women's insurance went up by about £300 in December, I'm sure you all know this. However, yesterday I got a quote on a comparison site for new insurance as a guide to see how much i would need to save roughly for April. My quote was for just over £700 a year (cheapest) which is £500 less than i paid last year....... If this is correct, that's a huge weight off my shoulders. Luckily, I pay yearly as that £700 turns into £1,210 when paid monthly...

Come April I also have to tax and MOT my car and it needs a full service The joys of owning a car...

Anyway, enough of that. Hello new potters welcome to the thread

Morning all, hope everyones feeling fine.

Welcome to all the newbies, nice to see you on here and last but not least....

Thank you Sue-UU and Sparky for all your hard work keeping us going with our pottings. Its appreciated :j

Well I popped into a charity shop on my way to work yesterday and spent £1 out of a £10 note on 4 brand new tea towels and the change given was £1 coin, so this will do for my £1 per day and 4 x £2 coins so popped them into the owls head. quickest £10 I have spent!

Also got £1.87 from DH for the VW camper so a good day all round.

Right O, off to work we go......

ttfn...

Ooh, it's a bit addictive isn't it. Have just been given a 2 pound coin in my change and it's gone straight in the pot! When I sealed the pot up last night my daughter asked me what I was doing. Once I'd explained she put in £5 from her piggy bank, bless.

Thank you for my number, happy potting everyone!:)
