"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 7 ~ Part 2

jakes-mum

Mum is fine, I swear nothing fazes that woman! There could be a hurricane rage through her back garden and while me dads taking cover under the table she'd be like 'meh, tis only a bit of a breeze man, get and put the kettle on, Corrie will be starting in a minute'

£6 of the £16 quidco has gone into the pot, now I have 2 x £5 notes in my purse but . . . but . . . but . . . coins will take up more room! :rotfl: am also having a bit of a thought. I took back some cutlery to Dunelms as they had gone rusty on the knives (only had them 4 months) were dishwasher safe and everything so no idea why, well they refunded the £19.99 and we went upstairs and got a different style that were reduced from £24.99 to £17.49, put them through the till and they were reduced again to £12.49 :j :j so, do I pot the £7.50 difference as technically thats what they would have cost me if the first set had been ok :think: what do we think

The original knives and forks I bought were £19.99, the ones I replaced them with were reduced down to £12.49 so I saved £7.50 because the first set were rubbish So do I pot the £7.50 as I was quite happy to pay that for my cutlery in the first place and wouldn't have had it if they had not been so cac

And your right, my mum is like concrete :rotfl:

Get better soon Moohound

another one here to vote yes for potting jakes-mum! its money already spent...technically...so you won't "miss" it

final pot for the month for me, cleared the purse out of all coins, £2.51, really pleased with myself that's £68.48 this month I would have otherwise frittered on rubbish or chocolate. Going to work with an empty purse..why didn't I ever do that before??? :whistle:

I'd pot it definitely as you had already spent it so you won't miss it.


Funnily enough today I took back a skirt to M&S (was £29.50) as I changed my mind and then bought another one which was reduced by 50% to £27.00 so less than I had paid for first one - so I'm potting the £2.50 difference :T


Hope you all have a wonderous Wednesday

Sorry to hear about your parents, Jakes mum. And yes, I'd pot that too!

56p potted for me today.

This will mean sod all to you non-running people; but I managed to get into the London Marathon. Unfortunately, my health issues mean I won't be doing it until 2016.

I am sorry to hear about the burglary,Jakes Mum.But karma 'n all that will catch up with the low-lives eventually .

A couple of weeks ago my daughter's swimming lesson was cancelled because TMI ALERT!!!



a small child had done a whoopsie in the pool.Today I took my son for his swimming lesson.Just as I was queuing up to claim my refund for daughter's cancelled lesson,it is announced that today's lesson is also cancelled,for the same reason.So there will be another £5 to collect next week.I did suggest to the receptionist she could give me £5x2 today,but apparently "It doesn't work like that"

So £5 in the pot tonight.

jakesmum - Sounds like your mum has it sorted! She sounds fab.

A whole 10p potted.... Not doing well at the moment, but I haven't spent anything for the past couple of days...
