"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 7

*Shuffles in Sheepishly*

I had to spend the little I had in my Pot....So I'm starting again....But I will NOT be spending it again....I've put into place the beginnings of an Emergency Fund so that I can buy Food if I need it....or any other Emergencies...

So, starting again....I had Banked £55 and now have £1.10 in the Pot....Better than nothing!!

I have been avoiding this Thread....but I missed you all and so wanted to come back...if you'll have me....

Potting 24p this morning...xXx

Welcome back dreamer Helen - we missed you x

:hello: hello all newbies, welcome to the very addictive world of potting :T

Well just a lovely shiny £2 coin and 75p in change from me 0h and a big fat £10er from not taking lunches to work.

I also am filling my pot up and feel it won't be long before I need another as some of the notes saved from not taking lunch to work are beginning to make it difficult to put in the coins :T::j:T:j:T:T:j:T

How exciting is that :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The really big dilemma question is do I leave the pot sealed until magic Sunday - yes you all know the one OR do I bank the contents in my savings :eek::eek::eek: :think::think::think:

I am completely split 50/50 part of me wants to save it :A:A:A and the other is wanting to open to see what's there :cool:

Hope that everyone is well and not affected by the awful weather we have at the moment, take care and keep warm :grouphug:

Morning all, hope all are well.
Welcome to more newbies - good luck with your savings and with all your help to get a record total this year.

DreamerHelen - please post on a regular basis. Remember, you are a great finisher and still a long way to go. 12 laps in total and we're still only on lap 2.
I'm just a "plodder" and keep plodding along as I don't have the sprint finish. We are all different, but we'll all hit the finishing line at the same time.
An "emergency fund" is a great idea, a bit like a holding pot - hope it works for you.

I potted 4 x £1 coins and that's taken me over the £200 mark ...................... just.
Only £1 spent yesterday - 4 pints of milk. Frugal January (food-wise) continues to the end and also into February and March.

Have a great weekend and may all your road-kill be notes. lol

Received £5 worth of BHS vouchers t'other day so treated us to hot choc each and a belgian choc cookie between us. With vouchers plus 10% off for having a card, I paid 53p for £6.15p worth of scrumptiousness.

The pot received a £5 note plus a handful of silver and coppers for it's treat.

Welcome to all new potters, enjoy saving.

Hugs to all who need one.

Just 50p for my pot today, but I am trying at least to pot something each day, small steps and all that. Having said that was pleased as punch yesterday, my little pot that I keep my £2's in couldn't fit any more in so got an old money box out and have started to fill that. I can't believe it. In all the previous years the cash would have just flowed!! Am feeling very virtuous!!

77p for me today took OH car today and as it is always me who puts the petrol in thought that the change laying around should be mine.:rotfl:

1p potted for me today into the penny jar, found it in the bottom of grandsons schoolbag when checking for uniform washing, hope he doesnt miss it lol

GettingOrganised

About £1.50 potted today. It's been a few days since I last potted anything, but that's because I haven't spent anything to get change - so I'm happy with that.

The change potted today was following a night out with work friends - this was planned a couple of weeks ago, but I made sure it was not an expensive one. I even managed to get a lift there and back, which saved at least £10 taxi fare.

Thank You Everyone.....You are ALL lovely....

I am definitely a good finisher and I WILL finish with plenty for Christmas AND a small Weekend away....

I promise to post more often....even when I don't have much to Pot....xXx
