"Sealed Pot Challenge ~ No 6"

out_of_debt_at_last

well after moving housing, I have started potting again, need to save for holiday and spending money!

jakes-mum

a lovely handful of change in the pot today care of DH and his 'need' for a bar of chocolate (not the small bar, but a big a** family bar to himself! :eek:)

Everythings all up in a heaval in the jakes-mum household as things have all come to a head and DH and I are talking big changes. Needles to say, the new carpet is on hold now, keeping my cards close to my chest at the minute until ive done some serious phone calling tomorrow but hopefully the outcome will be positive. Seriously wish my eldest didnt have super sonic hearing though as trying to talk to DH about it all without master earwigger is proving impossible, I swear the child's subconcious eaves drops on us as convo's held at midnight he seems to know all about! :eek:

Hi everyone, sorry I've been AWOL this week on my hols in the glorious Lake District so I haven't potted much but bunged about £1.50 into Patrick tonight on my return.
So many pages to catch up on!
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the sunshine

Thanks Sue.


We have had a full on weekend of athletics comps. Well the boy done good. Sat in Hull. 1st in hurdles with a pb. 3rd in long jump. 3rd in relays although should have been 2nd as another team were red flagged! Although he came last in 200m think it was a new pb, just waiting for official results to go on the power of 10 website. Sun at our club for the 3rd round of Cheshire track and field league. 3rd in lj with new pb, and 2nd in relay. Very proud mummy moments on both days. Was sooooooooooooo hot, very proud of all the athletes for competing in the heat. xxxxx

I am bushed as was officiating on both day, glad to go to work for a rest lol.


Will look in the purse to check for change so nothing to pot today. x

Thinking of you, Untouchable, and hoping all went well or will be for you. Have a wonderful time.

Thank you! I arrived safe and sound, the buses was stressful but it was all fine in the end! Now snuggled up in my old bed and its very nice to not wake up to kids asking for breakfast xD

Decided that all coins I get while I'm here will go into a holding purse and whatever is left when I go home will go into the sealed tin 8D current holding purse balance is $7

Untouchable

my mum has let me run rampid around the house today and find all of the loose change! Boy did I let loose!

Total scrummage today: $17.50

$3 in 5c coins
$3 in 10c coins
$3 in 50c coins
$4 in 20c coins

It all adds up! I can't wait to get home already and put all those coins into the pot! Finally my 5c and 10c pot will get a decent feed!

Have potted £8.85. Change from the last few days.

jakes-mum

found £2.67 on the side in the kitchen that no-one seemed to own, so into the pot its gone along with 50p that fell out the bottom of the sofa when the bloke from SS turned it upside down to fit the extended legs to the bottom to raise it up.

Not happy today, bought georgie a new cage as the old one was getting to heavy for DH to lift to clean it, seller listed it as 58cm x 51 x by 33cm, when it arrived its 58cm x 39cm x 24cm :mad: emailed them and they said thats the size of the extended roof not the size of the actual cage, so they dont think its been miss-sold :mad: contacted amaz0n who agreed it was wrongly advertised and told me to open a case against the seller (though there isnt an option to do that yet!) im so cross as how am I supposed to know they measured the bloomin roof not the actual useable space! you know . . . the bit the bird actually lives in . . . sometimes I dispair of people i really do can only really use it as a travel cage

He is currently still in it and doesnt seem overly bothered as hes very much a climber not a flyer so I think he'll be ok for a few days till I get a bigger one for him. I wouldnt want him to live in it long term, its a bit like going from a 4 bedroom townhouse to a caravan :eek:

Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and rubbish at saving lol, so I would like a challenge! I have a tin in the cupboard that I chuck all my change into but I think I will seal it, as I am bad for taking the odd pound out for something! I just counted my change in the tin and I currently have £4.94. I would love to try and increase this to use at Christmas this year x

Edited to add - I forgot to ask if anyone minds if I join in! x
