I potted 50p earlier today. Not a great amount, but I found it (rather randomly, I admit!) in my make up bag. :doh:Sealed Pot Challenge #021 #8 975.71 #9 £881.44 #10 £961.13 #11 £782.13 #12 £741.83 #13 £2135.22 #14 £895.53 #15 £1240.40 #16 £1805.87 #17 £1820.01 #18 £2021.83 declared0 -
I think of my sealed pot as loose change, and wouldn't pot £150.
However I would use it only towards a budgeted spend. We're you planning a new bread maker if you didn't make that sale anyway?
I found another 15p in roadkill this evening, so that's going in the pot tonight. I genuinely had no idea there was so much change lying around the place until I started this challenge!Getting myself back on track! Pay off debt and save deposit time!0 -
