Thanks

Of course you can Nicola, tis never to late to join usSue, our fearless leader will be along to allocate you your very own one of a kind shiny number and ask you to pop it on your signature so it keeps nice and safe.
She also likes everyone to read her super duper information giving first post which has lots of info like how to add a signature, what can be included in your pot and if you have a terramundi, how to get the money back out without breaking it!
We all like to pot differently here, I'm a 'wait till very nearly the end then count it all' kind a girl but if your more of a 'bank it as you go' person that's fine just pop what you bank next to your number on your signature so it doesn't get forgotten on count up day
Now all you need is a pot that's sealed (we have had a few naughty potters on here who forget that bit!! :eek:) and change to chuck in it :TSPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000 -
Morning all and a strange day here!! Raining earlier and then some heat and now very cloudy and cooler - but looks like passing. Wait an hour or so and then plan the day. lol
littleDOTS and nicola2710 - welcome to both MSE and this thread. Good luck with your savings. Still over 3 months to save in this challenge and then a full year for the next one.
and......actually, I'd miss our winter anyway so forget I spoke! :huh:
But, if you don't go to Spain for the winter, you'll miss theirs.
Hope you're feeling better by the way.
Anyone visit the Next sale yesterday?? I've never known it to be so quiet.
Potted 10 x £1 coins. £20 more needed for the week.

Have managed to pot £3.66. Change from a bit of shopping I did after doing a 5K event. People could have run, jogged or walked the 5K. I walked and did it in 55 minutes and was blessed with the weather.Frugal Living Challenge 2025 Mortgage free as of 1st August 20130

Thank you Sue - I have made a good start I feel - only just over a month since I started and that tin feels about 1/2 full but more like 1/3 I imagine.
I'm on my summer break from my job I a college at the mo hence more change to add to the tin daily - once back at work I shall need my pound coins for bus fare.
I'm liking the holding tin idea I've seen several people here mention - I shall start with that to save me running short of bus change - will put £10 float in there and add what's left at the end of the week.Sealed Pot Challenge number 8 Amount declared £365.50.
