What's a holding pot please?! Am I missing something?

It's on Page 1, 1st post, Amelia, but here's exactly what it means:

7/ Holding Pots: To anyone concerned about putting money into their pot..then needing it later in the week/month: Why not use one unsealed pot as a 'holding' pot and pop the money in their first each time/week/month - then, if it's not desperately needed (for car parking costs, little Johnnies school trip etc) - put it in a Sealed one so it stays put. Do that each week and it'll save you taking money from the bank. Discipline yourself to only take what's needed!

So, yes, Amelia, your little coin purse has now become your holding pot!

You cheeky beggar, HMS! :rotfl: Not too sure what you mean about a blank brain...but then I wouldn't as I believe mine's permanently like it reading posts such as yours! :rotfl:

All the best for your £100 or more aim, Lynsey, it's amazing what's possible!

Failure is NOT an option.

I think I'll target each £100 in turn.
