NB everyone! Unlike sparky I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE ANY BANKED AMOUNTS FROM YOUR SIGS, I'm trusting that you'll all be able to give me the entire sums you've saved when you declare on the 27th. Thanks a lot folks.

Hi everyone. I hope you've all had a lovely weekend and a good Monday. Keep saving hard as we've not got much longer to go!!!! :j

Just incase anyone missed it, remember to declare ALL your savings on count up day not just what you've saved since your last banking as Sue doesn't have access to sparkys running spreadsheet

Bless you for that, jakes-mum, I so appreciate your thoughtfulness. I'd be grateful of the same again from here on if you would be so kind. You're a star - and here's one for you. :staradmin BTW, I'm with you as the £2 are extremely precious and should be cherished.

Well saved, Kerry.

Lovely to see you back and rearing to open up, smiffy64! :wave:

Just potted a lovely €2 so I hope I manage to pot €25 before the end of the month!!

Going to reuse my pot for the challenge next year.. Cos it's super pretty!

A great reason for saving money, tatabubbly!

You're so welcome, little_sweetie, good to see you on again. My, that cake was filling! :embarasse

I have been tempted to raid/open recently as I've been having computer issues but have resisted for the moment. I see pot opening day is less than month away which is exciting although part of me wants to keep saving until the tin is full / or until the middle of next year when my OH has a special birthday.

Hmmm decisions decisions.

Helllooooo there, Flat Eric, :hello:good to see you back. Ah decisions indeed, fingers crossed that your PC keeps going so you have time to think it all out..and enjoy it!!

Thanks a lot for the squidy hug, Jo, here's a {{{hug}} back for you.

I hope you had a wonderful holiday, Vicky.

{Quote=SpiralingDown] DS is asking to do one for next year so I have to buy 3 pots for next year. I'm challenging my mum and dad to see which family can pot the most, dad is keen but mum's not very. We'll see what happens.[/quote]

Wonderful news with your DS having his own pot, SpiralingDown, he's following in his Mum's footsteps. :T Keep battling it out with your Dad and your Mum may well come round to the idea of saving.

Oh lucyhope, it sounds as though you had the very best day possible and I'm delighted for you!!!! Very well done with the speech! :T What treasured times for the Bride & Groom. Why not pop the video put on YTube, I'd love to see it and get a feel for the wonderful time you had.

£15 in the pot after having done the shopping.

Have a lovely weekend, Potters, save well - and remember - after today there are only......23 DAYS until 27th November!! :j

No problemo Sue-UU, will remind our lovely members again in the next few pages

Well I told DH that you all agree with me re the £2 coins and he rolled his eyes at me! See! now this is why he is never left in charge of the sealed pot! The man just doesn't understand the process

Am driving myself mad at the minute as im on the hunt for Christmas tree decorations, but I don't want the usual stuff they bring out year after year in the shops, I want something special. I put a post up on my FB crafty page but no-one had what I wanted, i've had a look on etsy but everything that caught my eye was in america and I worried that as most things I liked were glass, would they get here in one piece etc. I don't want things like beads on wire or sequins in baubles as I could just make those myself, I wanted something truly unique, something that took ages to learn to do and required a natural talent! How do I find this?!?!

Anyway 25p in my pot today, I shall now return to my fruitless search for the thing thats in my head that I can't describe to anyone else :rotfl:

Good evening, not posted for a while, but still busy potting. I had to borrow some money from pot the other day, felt soooo guilty so today popped to the bank and going to replace what I borrowed and decided to do a pre opening count up. I am well on the way to my target but definately need to keep up with the potting till opening day. I have decided what Im going to do with my pot money.... roll of drums.... I have opened our Florida holiday savings account, we plan to go to Disneyworld in November 2016 and the pot money is going towards the park tickets for our grandchildren. Looking forward to count up day !!!

This is my first year doing the sealed pot challenge and as I do not use holding pots or post when I pot I really do not have a clue what the total will be.
I have potted a few £10 and £5 note so comfortable at thinking it will be over £100 but how much over I do not have a clue.
Thought about opening a week early for Ideal Home Show visit but if I do that I am likely to spend it so will hang on until opening day for maximum fun factor.

I'm still in!! Life has been manic (isn't it always) so I've been reading but not had much time to post. I managed over £5 last night so I'm sure the total is coming along nicely. Bring on opening day.....

Looking forward to opening the pot- did not count as it went in as I did not set a target- only small coinage put in:j
