"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 8

Evening everybody! Hope you're well! Think I've potted over £20 in change! Been to asda shopping, then boyfriend rang and he wanted something that was £1 so had £4 change, had to get petrol and stopped it at £15.85 so I had more change, change from lunch... Do you see a patten? :T

Also got a proper pot today (the ones you smash) which says "save up all your coins and your bank notes too wish some little wishes to make your dreams come true" put all my change from other tin in and half full in my new pot will then bank it all when full and start a new pot! X

A little deposit of £2.31 went into my pots tonight (£1 into the £ tin and the rest into the change jar)

Lizzie that sounds like a corker of a pot where did you get it from?

It's those pots of dreams pots meant to hold £1000 in £2 got about £300 in there so far of mixed change and it's not even half full! Barclays are going to have so much fun when I go in there in a couple of months! :rotfl: xx

Ah okay, I love the inscription on it - I have one that says wishes and dreams on it -

I think it's a fab pot! Will stop me getting into it I think considering I paid £6.99 for it rather than 89p for my tins! And holds much more money! Always a bonus when saving x

I remember that feeling SeaOtter I am still on phased return so I have yet to experience the full force of working my normal hours... I'm with you with the expense of it all - I now have to think of petrol cost to get me to work - but its good to be back for socialisation, makes the costs worth while.

hope day two goes just as well :-)

Thank you Westie983. I'm on phased return too, so was only in 4 hours but that was more than enough. I'm going to work from home my remaining two days this week, which will save time and energy (which isn't in great supply) not to mention £5 each day for the transport. So hopefully they will be NSDs and I'll save even more money! Hope you are recovering well too.

I'm getting there each day is another day of recovery
