"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 8

32b3in2013

Evening

£4.62 potted today. 20p of that came from a woman who chased me out of a shop to say she saw me drop it!! I didn't have any change when I went into the shop, but she wouldn't be persuaded that it wasn't mine!!

Welcome tithe newbies

I'm rubbish at saving money so I think a sealed pot that I can't get into without some serious effort is the way forward!

Right then, Aphidgirl, with luck you're about to turn things around, best wishes!

A shiny gold star well-earned for lovely welcomes by beccah. :staradmin

You've not got that prozed pot yet, mcjordi?? Ah, well at least you've got a holding pot in progress, good for you.

So, who's side of the bed was the 20p under then, Vicky? Hubby's for his phone or.........! :rotfl:

Have managed to pot 81p. 2p of that was road change.

Sue - Still got the cough, but have managed to do some temp work.

Well done, Kerry, and I'm glad you're back temping again. Good luck with that cough!

More good saving, N6CNH, keep it going, you'll be so pleased this time next year.

My new pot feels so empty!!

Feed it, tatabubbly, simple!

Hi there, Maisie M, and so good to see you dropping in, more often would be better, but would I ever complain?!

You've got it, Goldiegirl, coffees is one way, though of course you could always withdraw some now and again - you wouldn't be the first.

Tis socks or kippers down yer too, Lynne, I just went for socks, less smelly....well depends on the feet inside em I spose.

Best wishes to you, Buffy, I've sorted it for you, have a good year.

Well saved, scotmumof3 good to hear you've got so many gifts sorted. .

All best wishes to you, Bagpuss, though they may both be a lot happier with each other once apart. I hope so for your sake! :kisses3:

Target's set, lemonpopsicle, go for it and succeed!

I take it you weren't going to argue with her then, 32b3......! Not ruddy likely! :rotfl:

Good for you for remaining so positive, Helen, and what a stroke of luck with the scratchcard!! :j {{{Hugs}}} for you and all others who are in need of them.

Have a good Monday,SPCers, save well and resist temptation!! Pot it instead!!

Hi

Been at work all day today and really wanted some mini cheddars from the machine. But they were BBQ ones.....hmmm no thanks I wanted original . so I was just thinking that therefore meant I had no change to put in the pot as I haven't spent anything. But that isn't right is it. I actually have 70p to go in the pot because I was going to spend it but didn't. Yippee. I'll got drop it in now

Aargh its December tomorrow!!!!!!! (Just in case anyone hadn't realised)

This year has flew over!! It's actually scary at times. :eek:

Just popping in to catch up, this thread is moving super-fast.
I've got a lot of spending to do over the next few weeks, so last years pot will do it's job.

Some great potting going on, well done.

Thanks for my number Sue! I am pleased to say I had an excellent start today... took off the sofa cushions and found £3.56!! So in my bottle it went. Going to try and fill the whole thing - 3 litres - in the next year.

DreamerHelen glad to hear that you are still trying to be positive :T

:hello: welcome all newbies - it's lovely to have you with us

Hugs to those not feeling well, or need them x

On a potting front - been shopping but just spent monies on the card and also got a refund for the dress I ordered as a poss 2nd choice for the Xmas 'do' for work but the first choice was a good one - even OH said it looked really nice
(Good job! Although he said the 2nd choice was ok - but he thought I would look like the Xmas Turkey in it - it never even came off the hanger :rotfl: :eek: )

Decided as I hadn't any change that I would pot £1 from my wallet so at least something went in the pot - another potter had that idea earlier in the thread - so as it's a fab idea thought I would nick it too ;)

Hope everyone has had a good weekend - I'm just off to get organised for Monday again now (bread out of the freezer, washer and tumble dryer on etc)

smeeinnit

Hi all, hope you all had a good weekend, hugs to anyone who wants or needs one

Well 2105 pot off to a flying start, £5 odd in change carried over plus change from shopping this weekend - £25.95 :j:j

I have 2 pots, one for £2 coins which is a "proper" money box, and another for everything else, which is basically a biscuit tin! In true MSE style I have asked for a locking tin for Christmas for this years challenge, so not even a penny spent on that hee hee!

Think I will set a target this year - Sue UU can you add £365 for me ty xx

Nix143

£1 today as it was a no spend day and I potted 1 pound summink yesterday - I counted it and then forgot how much I put in LOL
