    Counted up my tin I put 2p,1p and 5ps in and there was £23.80. £20 changed at the bank to go in the wedding fund tin (DD gets married on 1st November) and the rest back in the tin to start again.

    Don't give up! If you didn't have the pot you wouldn't have had the money to pay for the shoes :D

    Can you do the "holding pot" idea where you put the money in a not-sealed pot and then transfer it to the sealed one before you get paid? Or make your Sealed Pot only for roadkill or coins under 10p; the principle is still worth trying.
