"Sealed Pot Challenge ~ No 6"

kiplingmonkey

Hello - thanks for starting us off again - I am definately in again for another year.

I will be opening SPC5 tonight to count with my DDs so don't know the grand total yet but it is quite exciting. This year I set them a challenge too (they are 11 and 7) to save £50 from their pocket money so we are going to open their money boxes tonight as well. They have been really good at adding £1 a week from their pocket money. Eldest gets £3 and youngest gets £2.50 a week - not sure how this pocket money rate compares with anyone else?

Thanks for the new thread! Started potting into Percy the Pig......38p today so I'm up and running!!
Will try harder this year and I also save £2 coins too.
Good luck to all X

Its OK Sue-UU, I found my way here knew you were worried :rotfl: another £2 coin in the £2 coin tin today as I swapped up with Miss Lily who had one and I didnt like the other one being in there all alone, tin makes a horrible noise now though

This years challenge is a fabulous £600 as we were so close this year (with me throwing every spare penny at the debt) I think its easily doable

Oooo your more generous than me, DS (11) gets £10 a month and DD (4) gets £1 a week. This is mainly because DS would happily spend £50 on sweets if I let him plus he has £35 a month for Karate and £10.50 a month for his phone well thats how I explained it to him DD also has swimming lessons at £11.70 a month so thinking about it they dont do bad out of me after all :rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks so much Sue and Sparky for the hard work in sorting out the membership numbers and targets. :beer:

My new pot has kicked off with £1. I won't be keeping track of what I put in it but I will be trying to put LOADS in.

The SPC5 thread seemed so happy and enthusiastic so I think I'll try to be more active in SPC6. :j

Hi peaceandfreedom
Sue does the hard bit, allocating the numbers & keeping the thread going, I just tot up the totals at the end of the year and keep a couple of our members (who shall remain nameless!" You both know who you are ) in line :rotfl:.

Honestly though Sue does keep this thread going and deserves everyone's praise, I am "The Resident Auditor" (Official title, as designated by SusanneCape)
