    Hey everyone :)

    DreamerHelen- I think everyone would have to break into their pot at least once this year, And don't be silly thinking you're not welcome here anymore! Once you're with us, you're stuck with us :)

    been away a couple days, my laptop decided to sign me out so i wasn't getting any emails :( so i stupidly thought no one was posting!!

    Went to the doctors on monday, nothing wrong with my head :) he said that i'm bond to get head aches after hitting my head on something twice, and also clear of concussion (BONUS).

    Went out yesterday got myself some undies :o, I never knew contraception could change your body so much!! 4 cup sizes :eek: (sorry, being a bit crude)

    Just put 1.50 in to the pot, OH's birthday today so i got him some shiny new knives (Sharp ones too!) the ones we've already got are wearing down to the last thread, so wont sharpen anymore. £12 for 3 knives!

    I'm so happy at the amount of newbies!! it's amazing! HELLO :D

    Happy saving everyone :)

    Hi Pig_Mum,

    You are very, very welcome to join us. Sue will be by soon with your number, but don't wait, start potting! Sue has an amazing first post at the beginning of the thread, if you haven't read it I would definitely advise you do. And the biggest tip I can give you is subscribe to the thread via the 'thread tools' button on the green bar above the posts. It helps you find your way back here and the email updates mean you get to know when someone has posted so you can come and chat too! I didn't subscribe last year and while I did pot, the difference between then and now is amazing - just from the little reminders that fall into my inbox.

    Yep! Here it is folk, exactly what it says on Martin's e-mail, though in all honesty, it's latter than I'd thought. Never mind - here's the place to SAVE!!!!!!

    "£48,000 saved in sealed pots in 2012 - join the 2013 club
    Using a pre-sealed pot stops the temptation to spend spare cash and leftover change - then open it on a fixed date (this year, 28 Nov 2013). Join the Sealed Pot Challenge 2013." Yes, we are over £48.000 now, I've just been holding back due to Bebs not putting her Total on.

    Ah, blow it......we now have a new Grand Total for "Sealed Pot Challenge 5" which is a whopping

  • Hi Sue, please can I join?
    Ive been keeping loose change in a tin for a while now (mainly because it weighs my purse down!) so this seems the perfect opportunity to save some more!

    Ahh good old martin, pops us in his email every year :D I shall enjoy the influx of new faces (hellooooooooooo new members! :wave:) and wait with my pre-written monologue for the one poster who always turns up each year to ask why we dont all bank our money for all the interest we've missed out on and then never posts again.

    Im in a grump today by the way, my baby has dared to take another step away from being a baby :( Miss Lily is a big 5 years old today and is currently watching her new tv that her lovely mummy and daddy bought her :D shes very much looking forward to cake, but will no doubt sulk through the rendition of Happy Birthday (cried last year at her party :o not even bothering with a cake at her party this year :o) She got to sit at the birthday table today for her school dinner with all her friends and her teacher so she was very pleased and even managed to scam a magazine out of me at the post office ;)

    I have another lovely handful of change for my pot but again havent counted it, im going to have a lovely surprise in november as I have no clue how much ive chucked in there :D
