    Thank you 12monthchallenge
    I've started doing the rainy day saving challenge but back dated myself to the 16th now so I'm already on day 49/49p for that (if that makes sense) I've put that in a tub I can open as I keep needing to change small coinage. Can I count that in with my sealed pot challenge which will be in a separate Sealed pot - can I put small lotto wins in the sealed pot? I won a £10 in a recent draw but haven't cashed it yet. I plan to put moc savings in my pot along with any shrapnel left at the end of the week.

    Good evening everyone and a special hello :hello: to the new members!

    £1.50 potted, which was change from our day out yesterday.

    I'm half looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, as it means that I don't spend as much so I should be able to pot more! :j :j

    Hi again

    I added my £3 lotto win to my pot :)

    All of your saving in pots is a saving. Ready to open and count up in Nov :j

    Other potters have what they call holding pots. They keep money in there and if its not needed they then pot it in there sealed pot.

    Whatever works for you :)

  • Thanks Sue-UU, found my welcome note.

    Just put a fiver in my sealed tin as I had it in my purse, and 40p in the bottle bank. Evidently managed to clear out all my change before we went away over the holidays. Will start tomorrow in earnest.
