"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 7

nell36

57p for me and 2 x 50p put up for the niece and nephew's pots. Todays plan = go and buy some lovely veg and then put a simmering pot of pasta sauce with lovely veg chopped in it on the cooker and make batches for the freezer. Start radiotherapy next week (for 4 weeks, every day) and so thinking need to eat well but with minimum effort on some days.


Have a lovely day everyone. xx

Thank You AlwaysHappy....and I agree with you too....everyone has their own circumstances....some people manage to save Thousands over the Year and others can't do that....neither is right or wrong....it just is what it is....and we should ALL be proud of what we can save....

Nell...I hope that everything goes okay over the next four weeks for you....xXx

Hi all, a happy little 20p in the pot today.

Have a lovely weekend all. Personally I have the house all to myself tonight for first time in a long time, so its a candle lit bath, a HM chinese meal and an indulge of a good dvd whilst sat in bed. I feel like spoiling myself after a busy and hectic week

92p potted today. Didn't pot (or spend) anything yesterday or Wednesday.

Haven't managed to pot anything for a few weeks but got a £2 coin in change today so it went straight in the christmas pot

Afternoon all, hope all are well.

Sue - I used to pot 5p's and copper etc a few years ago, but hated counting them all and getting the exact amount to "weigh in".

Ironically, yet another 5p road-kill today. Proper road-kill in Ikea car park and it had been run over a few times and was very rough. It will still go into a s/scan till though. lol

Nell - wishes for the next lot of treatment.

Potted a £2 and a 50p coin = £2.50 potted.
I've had a pretty good January and sad to see it end. But, nearer to Spring I suppose.

As this is my first spc I could not resist having a count up to see how I was doing. Im amazed that since beginning of Jan I have saved £18.20 in loose change and the odd couple of quid. Glad I had a count up as it has encouraged me to do even better in February, thanks everyone for motivation. Ps I have still to find roadkill lol...

I bulk buy tins, toilet roll, toiletries and jars of sauce when they are on special and each time I use one I buy it back from myself with money from my monthly grocery budget, that way I always have money in a jar to buy deals when they come round and never get caught paying £2 for bolognaise sauce or £5 for toilet roll :eek:

Hi Sue, thank you for my new star, it's twinkling away in my sig with the others now.

Nell, best of luck with the radiotherapy, we're all thinking of you. ((Hugs)).

I've just checked my cash envelopes, petrol, phone top ups and the like, and discovered £30 left from January's lot so that will be straight in the pot before DH notices. :rotfl: I'll be getting Feb's out tomorrow.

It's DH's birthday tomorrow ( poor old thing ) and his sister's next Thursday. My DB's is later this month but I haven't seen him for years so it'll cost me nowt.

Welcome newbies, you'll love saving and being on here with us.

Hugs to all in need.
