    I am the only one who finds themselves randomly shaking their pot every now and then to feel how heavy it is? Must say thart I'm not quite satisfied with the weight of mine yet. :rotfl:

    Yep, I do this as well..... give it a shake and enjoy the clunk of the money hitting the side of the pots!!:D:D:rotfl::rotfl:

    £1.10 potted today :) a bit on the poor side at the mo (waiting patiently for payday) but not leaving the house much at the moment (38 weeks pregnant and in pain!) At least it's helping with the NSD's xx


    Ohhhh hope you're feeling better soon :D


    well I have had a NSD but managed to clear out 97p from DH trouser pocket (think he forgot about that!!) and I still popped my £1 per day in the VW camper van.

    Sue-UU my german student admitted he missed our sense of humour when he went home at christmas, always good to hear especially as we rib him mercifully :D

    Am potting 50p change from my lunch today.
    On the way home from work I went through the OH's change stash in the car and got all the 1ps, 2ps and 5ps out. They totalled £1.58...and there was a 1964 half penny with a picture of a ship on it. I nearly put it in as a 2p, before I noticed the picture on it. :D
    So overall £2.08 today :)

    Would love to join! Trying to save for Xmas, as much as possible.

    Hello MissMelLady!! Welcome to the Sealed Pot Challenge!! :wave:

    Sue our lovely leader will be along soon to give you your own sealed pot challenge number. Please keep this safe on your signature as it helps Sparky when we count up our savings at the end of the year. :D

    If you haven't done already please take a look at the first post at the beginning of this thread. It has pretty much everything you'll need to know but if you're unsure of anything just ask. ;) Then all you need to do is grab yourself a sealed pot (home made or bought) and get saving!!

    We are a lovely bunch and very happy to have you on board.
    Happy Savings!! :D

  • Hi all :)

    I am hoping i can rejoin you all i am #1805.

    I bought my tin today the one from the £1 shop and i have put 20p in that i found in DP pocket :)

    I know i am late in starting but im hoping you dont mind me joining in now. Last year the SPC helped me and DP out a lot due to my little girl in and out of hospital from when she was born so it helped pay my parents back all the parking fees that they lent us the money for. This year my target is £200.00 which i am hoping we can do. (fingers crossed)

  • Potted £2.13 today raided from DH bedside table!!!

    Mishmogs - I love to look at my pot (it's clear) and see if it's growing. Still got room for growth yet, and I love to "swish" it round to hear the coins. This thread should come with a health warning. I have become obsessed with potting :grin:
