"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 8

jakes-mum

a few coins in the shrapnel tin after a lovely meal out, a a £2 coin in the £2 coin tin. DH and I have decided to turn the cupboard under the stairs (which was supposed to become MY carp storage place ) into my own little jakesmum mart :rotfl: he knows I love coupons and stockpiling so has said he will completely shelve out all 3 walls and I can stockpile to my hearts content :j :j this also means I can restart my second purse as it kind of fell by the way side and i've never got back into it

I'm going to have a clipboard and everything so I can keep track of how much my stock has cost and how much I 'owe' my second purse . . did I mention I also love a list :rotfl: he truly knows how to make me happy :rotfl:

Hello everyone,

I've not been on in ages as we've had a tough few months, financially, and unfortunately I had to break into my sealed pot to keep us going. At the moment I owe my pot £85, but at least we had it there instead of borrowing the money, so I guess in one way it was a blessing.

We are now much more settled financially and I am going to focus a lot more on the challenges, and see if I can make a lot more money.

I have started putting some money back into my pots and hope to repay the missing money shortly.

I haven't been keeping up with the thread, so hugs to everyone who needs one, SueUU I'm sorry to read about your DD, but hope that the treatments she will receive will enable her to lead as an active life as is possible. My thoughts are with you.

Another £9 "saved" for Christmas. But technically I spent it, a gift I have been looking for was reduced from £18 to £9 so I snapped it up! Nothing wrong with the item at all! They aren't sure why it was reduced, they were just told to slap a sticker on it.

So I've added a bit into my signature that tells me how much I have spent of the £200 (I know it isn't all saved yet), so then come Christmas I can see if I went over or under budget so I have a better idea of what to budget for next year as this one was very much a wild estimate lol xx

4 x £2 coins into the £2 coin tin, 3 of which were care of DH after his trip to the pub last night . . . I did have to buy them off him though he really should be donating to the cause!

Lol at buying the coins of your DH, I laugh as I asked my dad for some £2 coins so I could swop some of my change, he gave me £8, and I gave him £2.32 - obvs I had the £2 coins before he got the change, haha I did swop just not it all -
