    Evening everyone! Fair bit of lying snow here and I think we are due some more. So I couldn't go out today. Have been doing a bit more pottering indoors today. Unfortunately not potting into the piggy because I had a £12 meds. spend:eek: Still there is always tomorrow -the piggy will be getting restless:)
    Keep warm and well everyone.

  • Hi,

    I would like to join the sealed pot challenge if possible. I have a pot already sealed with about £5 in it. I found £1 in my coat pocket today and 1p roadkill today which I have added.
    I would like to save for a dream holiday - which if i don't start saving now, it'll never happen.

    thank you :)

    .......oooh I'll bet seeing that dime hurt, mossy, :(

    It did!! :mad: I was tempted to go back lol!! Being Waitrose they probably would have changed it but actually we are planning on going to America either for Christmas this year or next year, based on wanting to buy a house it will most likely be next year. I'll get to spend it eventually!! ;)

    Had to go on a mercy mission for DD and pick up some calpol, which fortunately cost the same amount as what I had left for my grocery challenge!! Anyway spent some 2nd purse money on some cereal and had 2p change to pot! :)
    Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!

    A very warm welcome, Hollygym, it's lovely to have you with us. biggrin.gif Enjoy yourself saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 5 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

    *Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it helps so very much.

    Great news about the snow, elizabunny!! Though if it stopped you going out...maybe not quite so good. A shame about the med costs, extortionate! Take care. :)

    No doubt you could have taken it back, mossy, but would you possibly have had to prove it! :( Not to worry, let it go. :D That cash you had was meant to go to a more deserving little one for sure.
    Please take care, folks, and do watch out for ice!

    I am sad this morning :(:(:(

    I didn't get paid enough in my Wages for Food so I had to break into my Pot and use most of the money in there....

    And I am soooooooooo upset!! And thoroughly feeling sorry for myself....

    I had nearly gotten up to £50 as well!! :(

    Oh well, all I can do is start again (if I'm still welcome here)....I guess at least I can eat this Week....which is the main thing I suppose....

    I hope you all don't mind me being here still...I know this is the second time I've had to break into my Pot....but with it being January it's a VERY hard month!! I'm determined that from next Month it will be better and I should be able to Pot a decent amount every week....

    Really really really really really gutted :(

    Oh well...Onwards and Upwards!! I'm starting my New Pot with a Declaration of £1.24 to start with....
