Sealed Pot Challenge 6 ~ Part 2

jennypennysaver

Hi everyone, I've not been here for many moons & life has changed quite a bit since then. But I'm a cheerful person! Like so many of you I intend to make small changes which hopefully should build up to a big difference to my family's life; I'm starting small with the sealed pot challenge. I'm a bit late for the 2013 challenge but after rummaging around in my penny purse, my money box upstairs and my money box downstairs I've accumulated £1.04. So here we go!! Wish me luck!! :beer:

47p potted today:j

I'm getting excited for all of you opening your pots .... I only joined on 8th Nov so I don't think I'll be opening mine!

nothing to pot today so another NSD.
I did see a coin on the floor in my nurserys staff room though but it was filled with other people and i didn't want to steal it if it was anyones.
I didn't feel like it's mine to take.

oh i'm taking out £2 of my emergnecy fund - a member of staff in my placement asked if i wanted to put anything towards buying another member of staff a present as they passed their driving test...i didn't have any cash on me today at the time and so i said i'd give her some money on thursday... she said don't worry about it but i feel really guilty if i don't...

Oh and forgive me if it's not the right place to ask but i was going to start a new monthly challenge next week which is about living on £10 for 1 week for luxuries such as that sneaky coffee from starbucks or buying new clothes,jewellery etc... and wanted to know if anyone was interested in joining because every time i make a challenge no-one really joins so I'm giving it another go.

Well, I haven't been around for a wee while but have been potting away. Some more shrapnel in the pot today.....can't wait till next week :j

Will the bank give me bags to pay the money in? Need to try and get that organised.....

LeopardPrintsAndTea - have you tried ETO's weekly spend challenge? Here's the link (I hope!) if you want to have a look and see what you think

Thats very useful,
but I can only afford 1 week every month as after i've paid
my phone bill and laptop insurance plus other expenses i may have,
I'm only left with £50 and I need to keep some money left in my account ...

I'd love to join LP&T but I don't have a spare £10 a week at the moment - have to pay off the debts first but good luck with your challenge

The bank at which you have an account will give you free bags - no problem - just ask

Feeling good tonight. My DS2 has arrived from Ibiza for a short holiday. Have put my regular £ 1 in the pot and looking forward to seeing you all on the BIG COUNT soon
