I just popped the change from the shop in my tin, thats another 42p in my pot! I have sealed it with sellotape, but I have a feeling I would just untape it if I wanted lol. So tomorrow I am going to go to poundland and pick up a couple of of those sealed money tins, the ones you use a can opener to get in to? I hope I am making sense! x
That's exactly what its like
And yes you are making sense. My tins are not sealed, i have three of the money boxes that count the money as you put it in. I do have the willpower to not dip into it though 
Well this week i am dog/house sitting. Its working out to be better than i had expected Took the dog for a REALLY long walk last night, past 2 chip shops, and wasn't tempted at all! (i didn't take my purse on the walk with me, that helped too lol) So not a lot potted but the house i'm staying in has a garden so i've got lots and lots of washing done haha Sealed Pot Challenge member #071 VSP #4

Hope that's not bad as that's what I do.
Bought a couple of bananas and put in a tenner and out popped 2 x £2 coins and a 50p (and the rest). 20p added from elsewhere, so £4.70 potted today.
I'm using and abusing the AMEX small shop offer (£5 cashback when spending £10 or more) and 2 deals today. Not using cash sadly to get change, but the offer is only on for July.
£422+ potted so far.
(I wonder how many cash bags I'll need come November?). lol
