"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 8

jakes-mum

Hellooooooooooooooo Potterssssssssssssssssss

another lovely £5 FB sale, though my second lady didn't turn up AGAIN :mad: thats the 4th time she's not turned up and that block button is now really starting to look appealing, you'd think i'd learn my lesson as I had no end of problems with two of her mates as serial stander uppers and blocked them ages ago, oh fudge it, im going to block her now and get on with my life!

*and she returns feeling so much more 'zen'* am now waiting for the rest of my fleabay sales to leave feedback then I can remove the money and pot my oodles and oodles of cash, which I might just have to take out the bank in £2 coins :j

Do you have an Evo as well, evo? I don't think that's a cheap hobby! Welcome to the challenge.



Potted 2p yesterday :cool::)

Nothing potted. Maternity pay sucks - will be £200 short a month when I return to work so fear I may not be able to take part next year. But I hope to get to the bank today - little one is better and the weather seems pleasant so far have a good day folks.

Hickles hun...Please don't feel that you can't take part next Year....Last Year I didn't save as much as I wanted to because I just couldn't earn enough to put large amounts in....But I did as much as I could....


Even if you only save £25 across next Year...it's still £25 more than if you hadn't taken part....and you could use that £25 for something that you really want or to buy something special for someone that you love for Christmas....


Don't give up hun....We're here for you no matter how much you are able to put away each day or each Week...


Nothing to Pot so far today but need to go out and do a bit of Food Shopping later on so I might have something to Pot later on xXx

Believe me, it's not a cheap hobby! I ran an Evo 5 every single day for 6 years, getting rid of it just recently. Really regret selling it, but my wallet and bank balance love me for it, espescially now I run a deisel every day.

Still got the motorbike for fun times though.

Diesel is cheaper than petrol at the moment. I'm so glad i gave in to my hatred of the way petrol cars drive and got a slightly more expensive diesel Especially now that i drive 2+ hours a day

Hun, keep the pot for roadkill and the odd penny or so. The challenge is to put money in a pot and not open it until November 5th (or whatever date for that year ). It doesn't matter how much you have in it. Stick your coppers from your purse in it. If you get £2 at the end of the year in coppers, that's £2 in your pocket!!

Or you could commit to potting all your 5p's or something. I started off by committing to potting 20p's and i did, i potted every single one, without fail. One day i decided i wanted a big posh camera but it was £600 so i looked at my 20p pot and figured i might have around £200 to put towards my new camera in there. After counting it i had more than enough to buy my camera, with 20p's to spare!! The best part is, because it's only a small amount, you don't notice it when it's gone.

And what's the worst that could happen? You could always try it and see. Even if you only get enough 5p's in a year to treat yourself to a fancy coffee.
