"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 8
Comments

Hi, I've been so busy being a mummy to my now 7 month old boy that this page left my mind temporarily but I have been potting like made with Christmas and 1st birthday (Boxing Day) slowly creeping up. I've filled one pot so much the lid won't close and the second pot is just over half filled one has coppers in (full) and the other has silver in. I think this year I could have actually saved quite a bit
I'm excited. Happy potting day to you all.

Hi everyone, thanks for adding me. Sorry for the delay in coming back, life has been a bit busy!
Over the last couple of weeks I've added £13 in £1 coins to my main pot & 53p to the odds pot. £2.05 was road kill & the rest was from emptying my purse at the end of the day.
Dare I say it but I've also bought my first two Christmas pressies to stash away. Well, three if I count the puppy's presents too lol. I start picking up bargains now & putting them in my box. Hope to be finished by the end of October then I have to start on my parents present list & buy all theirs too.
Happy hunting folks xSPC 8 (2015) #485 TOTAL: £334.65

Yeah its really complicated with work. Considering dropping a day at work. I've asked the boyfriend for extra money but he doesn't think he can help.
Decided to do a kit day and depending in what happens decide to either not go there or get another job. Baby number 2 not an option as still under hospital care at the moment.
Yes my parents should be here by lunchtime tomorrow.
Nothing to pot today....SPC#19 - 7-£666.54, 8-£489, 9-£264 10-£376 11- £305.8p 12 £329 13 - £315 14/£214 15 £177 16 £253 SPC 17 £0 of £250

Its not a huge deal for long time sellers, though it does tell us the item has arrived, I do try and make sure I leave feedback promptly for low feedback sellers though as I always think that private sellers that are just starting out on fleabay are probably selling because they need the money and to have to wait 90 days when you have a bill to pay must be awful. Still think the whole star system is stupid though, lets invent a system where if a sellers stars fall below 4.5 out of 5 we sanction their account but not explain that to buyers who then give 3 stars for a 'good' transaction or even worse, 1 star because 1 = 1st to some people! (tries desperately to stop herself getting on her soapbox to complain about all the rediculous rules of fleabay!)
£1 in my tin yesterday after a fb sale, would have been £2 but the cheeky so and so gave me a £1 coin from gibralter :mad: feeling a bit fleeced at the minute, am cross with myself because I was looking at it while DH went to get the item and thinking 'this looks a bit odd' but he'd handed it over and the bloke has scarpered before my brain could figure out what was wrongSPC 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 -
Don't beat yourself up Jakes-Mum hun...the same thing happened to me a few months ago - Someone in a Shop gave it to me and it wasn't until I got home that I was just about to Pot it and looked at it and thought "That doesn't look right" but it took at least a few days before it finally twigged what was wrong with it....But it IS annoying....so I feel your pain xXx
Had a bit of a dizzying day as I saw 4 clients one after the other and that's a little exhausting....but it's worth it so I can't complain
Potted £2.45 this Afternoon.....so I'm really happy with that....Think that's going to be it until at least Sunday.... xXx0
