"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 7

System

I've put all the change from my holding pot into my proper pot it was just over £10!
Then I dropped it cos it's so heavy! And cos it's only a Cheddars tub it split at the bottom. So I think this weekend I'll count it up and bank it, and look for a new pot. Maybe one of those terramundis people have mentioned. But I'll try not to drop that.
Congrats Loveactually, that's good news

Another 70p potted this evening. I can't believe how addictive this is...

Evening potters, hope all are well, sorry to hear of people that are poorly hugs to you all x

No potting again for me today so note for self - get more change

Bin to the bank today so will now have real cash for the rest of the week and if I am lucky enough to have notes still left at the end of the week will consider potting them :T

Hi all, my pot is now up to £11.70 although this is a false reading as son3 took some money out of it to buy milk, he has put some change in though so I'm just going to leave it like that and see what the difference is when we come to empty it.

Thanks to everyone for your kind well wishes, they're much appreciated - thank you all so very much.

Could you put my goal £1000 please.

All sorted out, GaLa15, all the best in achieving it.

Well done with your savings, Saver-upper, though who'd have thought you wouldn't have been able to have afforded meals for 3 kiddies with £13.69!! Shocking!

Great news about your George, jakes-mum!! Re the continued dislike of fingers, I wonder if they see them as a separate extension to us. Ours can't stand mine after 14 years (Cockateil...not a Budgie).

Thanks a lot, sparky, yes T looked after me wonderfully as always, bless him. :kisses3: Well done with Alder Hey and I bet you thoroughly enjoyed it all...as always. Thanks for the very emotive tale of 9/11....very emotional indeed.

Tomorrow is the start of my third week of the couch to 5k running plan. 2 weeks ago I struggled to run for 1 minute, last night I ran for 7 minutes, 3 times with only a 2 minute walking break between each 7 minutes. I never thought it would work

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone

Hi all,

I have good news to share my IVF has worked and I'm now 5 weeks pregnant I'm so thrilled and happy about it.

If everything goes well EDD is in December. So the money I m potting will be used for baby stuff rather than a trip to NY.

Congratulations to you and your DH, Loveactually!!!! I'm so thrilled for you. Please keep us updated as you journey along with the pregnancy. :T:j:T:j


Keep that saving going strong, Lynsey!

Brilliant car savings that's now potted, Ruth, amazing!!!!!

Marvellous saving, princess-angelica, all the best on retrieving it from your terramundi.

...Took DD to the doctors this morning as she came out in a horrible rash on her face. Shingles - horrible place for a teenage girl to get it. By late afternoon it has spread quite badly, so went back to the docs who sent her straight up to the hospital for tests. Hours later and DH is still up there with her

Oooooh mrsdalloway, how terrible for your DD, I didn't even know youngsters could get it!! I truly hope she's soon much much better.

I'm so pleased you too are finding saving so addictive, Indie Kid, for most of us it's a complete turnaround after spending. :j

Great savings everyone!!! You're all doing so very well, keep focused and hard at it! I shall be back before Easter but as it's so close and some of you will be going away, have a lovely Easterand a wonderful time.

Have a great day tomorrow, folks, and pot pot pot:j

Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome.

Thank you for your well-wishes everyone. They are very much appreciated.

DD has gone to stay with her big sister for a few days, so that has put a smile back on her face! She is on anti-virals now, and she says that the rash isn't as itchy or painful as it was. It will hopefully be gone by the time she goes back to school next week.

Today I've had some quality time with my son (10). We went to the zoo, which was great fun. Priceless time and still came home with £2.41 for my pot!

Happy evening.

Loveactually

Thanks for all the lovely wishes everyone.

Potted £40 today

System

So I've counted my pot and got well over £200!
I can only pay into the bank 5 bags at a time so I'll do that over the next week or so and update as I go.
Also received my CPP compensation cheque, I'll bank that but it's going towards my Walk The Walk fundraising so not sure if I should include it in my total here?

jakes-mum

A lovely £2 coin in my pot today, 60p change from DS going to the shop for me and a random 5p in coppers I found in my purse.

My freebie pasta maker for my kitchen aid turned up today and im in 2 minds whether to keep it when I wont use it BUT its an extension to the all singing new toy or sell it.

Also my new dustbuster that I was selected to product test arrived today as well oooo we had great fun testing it out on things, got to upload a review with pictures when they send me the link and then I get to keep it :j :j plus they enter me into their monthly prize draw for the next year to win one of their products
