Why is it that when I could afford to save £2 coins I never seemed to get any in my change yet now I can't I get them practically every time I shop:think:

Had to use a car park today which is very unusual for me as I find a free place on the street and walk (seems like miles sometimes;)) to wherever I'm going. Everywhere was so crowded today and as I had an elderly infirm passenger I needed to bite the bullet and use the car park nearest to our destination:(.

Of course, not being used to car park fees I hadn't the right coins with me:o and had to dash into the nearest shop and buy something really cheap to get some change and for which I profered a £20:eek:. Got 5 £2 coins included in the change which I can't afford to pot:o. I'm tempted to start a special £2 pot now but it will probably go hungry for most of its life.

Why don't you put them in a 'holding' pot. That way you might manage not to use them all, they're there if you need them and when next pay day arrives, if there's any left you can pot them - plenty of time until November :rotfl:

'If saving money is wrong, then I don't want to be right

Then you keep feeling that way, 12 month challenge, you'll have a fortune by next November! :rotfl: I understand what you mean though. I love your wrong v right sentence! BTW. I quite agree with your "Lets smash this total on SPC 9" :T:T

Good saving, Louise, have a super time with your Son and.....(you put it so well) Wishing you and all your loved ones a magical Christmas, hope all your New Year dreams come true and good luck to all potters for the New Year, (may the force be with you) :rotfl:

A good bit of saving, Modesty, and very well done with the lottery win!

Just in case anyone misses it:

The Grand Total for "Sealed Pot Challenge 8" is, all things considered, a fantastic

£49.093.27!!!!!

Good to see you, mcjordi, you have a wonderful time too!

Well I think that's a fabulous total and too our new members (and old that fall off the wagon!) please remember come November it matters not if you save £1 or £1K every single £1 is a £1 you saved and you should be proud to declare it on the thread! We will all be thrilled for you no matter what your total is

I totally agree with your words, jakes-mum, so there you have it folks, stick with us - no matter how much or little you save!!!!! :T

carbootcrazy - I hope you've taken notice of what Lynne has suggested you do, that way you can NOT go wrong, and you can also properly pot your cash on the next day if it hasn't been needed!

Thanks so much, bubbs, we didn't do bad under the circumstances now did we! A very Happy Christmas and happy, health New Year to you also!

Have already taken the advice on board, Sue and Lynne. I've had a Holding Pot from the beginning, for any coins that stop me being able to shut my very small purse. In fact in a recent post Sue you congratulated me for going about things the right way by having one:rotfl:

I intended to just pot small change, never notes:eek: as I never have any unspent at the month-end:o.
But I just fancy a special £2 pot, I love those £2 coins:rotfl:. Maybe trying to save the odd lovely £2 now and then would be fun:j
