"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 8

dazzaofdagenham

Sorry haven't posted much of late.

Opened tin about 40 mins ago and I was hoping for 1000 pounds....to my utter delight there was 1120 pounds in there.

Can't belive I done this....that's Xmas sorted

Count me in for 2016....gonna go for 1500

Hi, assignment in (with an hour and a half to spare!! :eek:).

I have now treated myself by counting up my pot.

#83, declaring £63.

Not a huge amount but I was saving for Disney spending money for our holiday earlier this year, so didn't pot as much. All the Christmas presents have been sorted or budgeted for so this money is for me to take to the Christmas Ideal Home Show later this month. I'm looking forward to picking up lots of Christmassy treats!! :xmastree:

Will definitely try to save a bit more next year.

Declaring my total this year as £698.09

Hiya all #044 = £56.73
Well I didn't manage the £100 target but didn't do too bad with just the coppers out of my purse each night. Although I haven't posted for a while I have still been reading along, so a big thankyou to everyone who has contributed to my nighttime reading, I would love to carry on for next year.
Big thanks to all

Can I make an amendment to my declaration?

I forgot to add the £365 I saved from the 2015 £1 a day thread that I stopped when I got to target, with that and what was in my £1 'Scuba Diving Fund' it makes.....

£885

That's fine, Westie, it's all sorted out for you! Very well done indeed, it's a cracking Total!!! :T

Ahhh, your last part sounds so lovely, dreamingofmoney, it's lovely to know folk read them and that it helps.
I know you're perhaps not too thrilled with yours, but at least you had money saved, and it'll no doubt come in handy for you - measure that against those who don't bother saving at all! Like as not any cash they have just gets frittered away, so all in all, you've done very well!! Congratulations to you!!!!! :j:T:j Work out what you need next year and see how much you need to put away each day/week, but still put your odds and ends away so you'll still get a surprise!! Good luck!

Can I make an adjustment to my total please?
Last night after posting,I counted and re-counted my pot,and thought I had found some missing pot money-got very excited.But now,having re-counted again this morning (making me late for work and for the rest of the day) it seems I hadn't.So,when I went to the bank to deposit my pottage,it seems a couple of bags were short,so my amended SPC total is £651.04 -6p even less than I thought!So this is my official total for the challenge.Shall update my signature.

Hi all. Well done to everyone...didnt we do well!??

I counted up the last of my pot money, took $15 I found in a drawer and they did change them for ££ and found £1 oin in the parking ticket machine, thanks very much! So I added this to the pot (which I've banked in my savings account regularly)./

Total is £1198.31. Yes! I have a tiny emergency fund now thanks to this in my ISA account. Thanks. It's really helped me to tidy up small sums and I'm amazed how its mounted up. And even with the low interest rates currently that will earn me about £24 next year. Don't think I've earned interest or a long time. Paid it plenty!

When do we start again?!

It's a pleasure, Iolanthe, and so good to see you back declaring! Congratulations on your savings and I'm soooo very happy you're so pleased with it, amazing what you can do with it eh!!!! :dance::T:dance:



Hello NobodysChild, and congratulations to you on a great sum!!!!! :j:T:j It's just wonderful to see the total pleasure in members posts at how well they've done throughout the year!!!! PLEASE could you kindly pop your SPC No 468 on your siggie as it takes me so long to troll through the list??????

Thanks hun!

Re the spc number in my sig; that is there, and it's most odd that it didn't come out on the post earlier!!! I must have deactivated it somehow.

As a reminder, I saved £272.13 this year!

Hopefully my sig comes out on this post ...

Edit yes it did!

Not to worry, NobodysChild, so long as it's there that's all that matters, otherwise it just makes it a little difficult to find them. thanks so much for sorting it out, much appreciated!
