Sealed Pot Challenge 6 ~ Part 2

Sue-UU

Hi everyone, I hope it's a good day for all. ooooh I'm getting so excited about tomorrow, but I've still got all my money to count yet, but I'll manage it!!!

LeopardPrintsAndTea, if it's possible this next year, why not put a certain amount by weekly from your wages, even if you have to sacrifice not doing something else, it'll be such a help this time next year...and be a huge boost for you. :kisses3: Even a 50p is good and a £1 even better. Give it a go.

Helen, you sound almost fit to burst and to hear all that excitement bubbling out is a joy for me. You're such an appreciative lass, it's amazing, but I still say YOU are the one who saved it, not us!

7p road kill found on the way to work this morning. Picked up and safely in my pouch ready for the pot when I get home. I'm going to take the total off my sig and surprise myself when I open it next year. Can't wait, bring on the pennies!

You, ALM, sound like one extremely happy and excited potter, there'll be no containing you next November that's for certain!! :grinheartWell done on that 7p roadkill! :j

VERY well done, labtechlesley!!!! :T Some of us, for all sorts of reasons, just aren't able to save much, but it doesn't mean the amount is any less pleasurable. You've SAVED and that in itself is a great achievement, be happy and so proud. IF you can do better next year then fine, try putting a little by each day/week/month. £2 a week is £100 a year, have a think about what you can afford. Read about the 'holding pots/purses' on the 1st post of page 1 and see if that'll help. Well done though and yes, I do mean it!! :j

WOW...we're almost there Sealed Potters! Just ONE day left!! :eek: Time for the last push! Go on, fill yer boots or pots maybe.


Please, EVERYONE, check that you have your Nos on your siggies! Many thanks.

Hi everyone,

I would like to join in for the next challenge, got my first pot ready to decorate, I am recycling an empty tub of baby formula. This gives me something to do with my daughter later in week.

Dont have a target in mind but every little helps right?

hi, this is my first post, so not sure I am doing this properly! Please can I join challange number 7? I bought a tin for £1, as I had nothing I could make into a pot.

50p potted today
Pay Day tomorrow so I will be sorting out envelopes and withdrawing the cash and putting different budgets in different envelopes. Does anyone else find this works? Or do they think its best to keep it all in bank account and withdraw it or use the card as needed? can't decide the best way to budget?

I'm going to be doing the same thing, hubby gets paid every 4 weeks so going to be taking out the money for clothes and leisure from that and the food shop will come out of our weekly tax credits. Anything left over will go into my pot to buy presents. Going to keep saving up my points on my store cards and use them to help offset the cost!

Sue-UU

Hiya Jackies!!! :hello: It's good to see you back again. Oi, give us a chance with the new one.

You can't see SPC 7 yet because SPC 6 doesn't finish until tomorrow. I've got 7 already for the early hours of the morning, 29th Friday, and will put a link through from here just as soon as SPC 7 goes LIVE!!! All the best with the counting, I've still got mine to do in a while. :j

Thank you so much, mummytummy, you also, Lost, but I know both of us really enjoy doing it and 'seeing' all the happy faces from having saved, there's nothing quite like it, I promise you. :grinheart Ah, I was forgetting you were THAT much ahead of us. Goodnight.

Good potting, Moneysavingmomma, I see you've set out to be a really good saver!

Splendid help and advice, Mrs Cheshire! You've earned your 1st star for helping a member. :staradmin Thank you.

WOW...we're almost there Sealed Potters! Just ONE day left!! :eek: Time for the last push! Go on, fill yer boots or pots maybe.

Hello all you lovely potters old and new! :wave:

Lovely to see you back sparky and very good news about you-know-who I thought I would save you some time tomorrow and DECLARE MY TOTAL!

For SPC #6 my coins amounted to £51.88* so, added to the coins banked throughout the year, my total is...drum roll...
:j £176.88 :j Woohoo!

*I have banked £50 of that, potted £1.75 for the next challenge (I can't bear an empty tin! ) and put the odd 13p into the Air Ambulance box.

I am over the moon with the total. I know some will be declaring much more but it's money I wouldn't have saved without everyone's encouragement. HUGE thanks to our lovely SUE & Sparky for all the hard work involved in keeping this thread going. You are both amazing :kisses3:

I can't wait to see all the results come sweeping in!:D
