"Sealed Pot Challenge ~ No 6"

mossy

Phew, sorted through accounts and receipts. Had to guestimate a little but will be back on track properly now, and as a bonus I have 19p to pot.

Just need to check DH's savings account to see what our deposit total is currently standing at so that I can update that too.

Evening potters, oldies and newbies all...

A tearing-my-hair-out day today, as I sadly had to raid the holiday fund to pay the plumber's bill... good job I had already taken the P*ntins payment out of it, so that's safely booked and paid for, but now there is only a tenner left in there. I am very CROSS :mad: but at least I didn't put it on a credit card lol.

Otherwise, 20p found in a shoe (where else?!) so into the pot it went before anyone could claim it as theirs.

I see that some people are counting their spoils as they go along, but I taped my empty choccy tin up to stop me doing that! Does it matter? I'm just waiting for when money finally hits money rather than the wide bottom of the tin, then I'll feel like I'm starting to get somewhere!!

Jakes-mum, you are a lucky bunny with your dad! Mine was just the same for me a few (ha!) years ago when I had my first place and he came and did all the decorating and other jobs that needed doing (he always did like to be useful, bless him). Give him a big hug and a kiss and tell him how great he is and he'll be made up (especially if you give him choccy biscuits as well!)

Wyre, just go for it, especially if it fits around the kiddywinks. As already pointed out by somebody else, I've no doubt you've got way more than the "experience" requested just from your daily life!! Some of the things asked for these days really are quite ridiculous, but there you go. Good luck!

Well, have a lovely evening everyone, happy potting, and stay warm (especially in the snowy wastes of the north...)

Until next time, give yourselves a big hand for all the collective saving that's going on; Sparky won't know what to do with himself when the totals come rolling in at the end of November! :T

Do you think if Shakespeare were alive today and knew of this forum that Hamlets soliloquy would have been very different.......'To pot?.....or not to pot?......That is the question?


And we all know the answer!!!!! Definitely to pot!!!!

Keep snug fellow savers :rotfl:

I know I'm late but please add me again Sue

Not sure how much I want to save but if I could get into 3 figures (ie £100+) then I would be happy

Thanks

Hi everyone
Not been potting for a while, had a strange few days. My youngest son was 7 on Thursday so that was joyous. But I lost my beloved (22 month old) cat on Friday. His heart gave up. Words cannot express how upset I am

Mommy so sorry about the loss of your family cat

The Russian doll saga continues - won bid on a set of 2 extra large dolls instead pre painted and EXACTLY the same as the set i had as a child so they will not be getting decocrafted for sentimentalities sake! £3.08p they cost me plsu postage but hubby shall be getting me the set of 10 to play with whether he knows it or not haha

Potted £3.72 change from small shopping trip today for milk and electric.

Happy potting everyone

( Jakes-mum - google a company called CPC for your light fittings and such they are really cheap and offer discounts for 5+ of most of their items x )

Hi all, found 10p amongst the file of post I finally got round to sorting through today. Good job i did as i found I'd been charged nearly £10 interest on a credit card balance that I underpaid by . . . 1p. So they got a quick phone call and have kindly recredited my account, cheeky so and sos. As it was money that was kind of spent anyway I was good and put £10 in the pot.

Awe ... I lost my gorgeous Harry (14yrs) just before Xmas - I miss him so much and it was so unexpected - it gets easier with time - I still have my Roger (9yrs) keeping me company xx

Had a lovely 3 x £2 coins to pot today from post office run and then DS came up and asked if I had any change and proudly proffered another shiny £2 coin he had got in change that morning and saved for me

He did get £3 back for it (as he was going swimming with some friends and I thought id help out with the swimming cost . . . Him, another boy and 2 girls . . . but they are all just mates supposedly ) plus a very lonely 5p inthe big tub, I just had no friends to pop in with him
