"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

aliwali

Going to update my total at the end of each week, but I put £10 in yesterday as I found it while tidying. Obviously didn't need it, so in the pot it went!

Got my new sealed tin for Christmas. OH spied a £1 roadkill today which promptly went in said tin the minute we got home :j

Yo! I won't be posting much - sorry Sue UU! - but I AM potting. I can't believe you're already on over 1000 posts and it's only the 3rd Jan! Keep on potting crazy peeps!

Hi, I wonder if I can join the Sealed Pot Challenge please - it sounds great. I'm not going to put any targets on as no idea how much I'm likely to pot but will just put away change/savings made from offers etc.

Many thanks

Hiya - welcome and good luck with the challenge. You can add practically anything you make/save anywhere else. If you're not sure have a look at the first post and if it's not covered then just ask on here

Hiya and great to see you made it. Good luck with the challenge


Potted all the shrapnel in my purse - probably about £1.50 though only a rough count.


Hope you all have a marvellous Monday

Oh dear, Saver-upper, another stressful and hectic day for the family. I know you probably won't be able to read this due to no internet, but I do hope all goes well. Don't forget that potting!! :cool:

You're welcome, Jessie (same name as our dear dog!) and good for you in quickly getting equipped with your pot.....and potting already - off and running for sure!! A very safe, healthy and Happy New Year to you also.

Staying consistent as ever, frasersmum...

Ok aliwali, whatever you're happy with sounds good to me.

Ah, I'm so pleased you got you pot, curly, and marvellous news that your DH spotted the roadkill, many of them get embarrassed, my DH used to, he's learned a lot since SPC!! :rotfl:

3rd November is the opening date for 2016.

Anyone wishing to join us, it's NEVER too late, so please just ask, you'll be made very welcome.:grinheart

mrs-moneypenny

Thanks Sue, and everyone else for the welcomes. I'd speed read and saw the closing date was 3rd Nov, so thought you had to throw your hat in the ring by then, missed the it's never too late bit.
I've used the shrapnel in my purse to take me up to Friday day 53/53p in my tub and also thrown 48p I found in a cupboard in my pot.
Looking forward to saving and being more frugal this year.
Btw. Sadly the lotto win wasn't huge, nearest I've got is winning about £130 the week of my 50s birthday - which paid for a meal out I'd invited friends to, so it was nice the celebration was paid for. Since the lotto has gone up we've cut back on what we wasted on it so that will be a bit extra I can add to my pot

Just found five random 20p pieces in my coat pocket so in they've gone.

Hellooooooooo Potterssssssssss (new and old)

Well I'm feeling a tad better, though I'll be honest, I haven't actually attempted getting out of bed yet today so it might all go down hill in a few minutes :eek:

Happy birthday for yesterday !!!!!!

DH went to the pub on Friday and brought me back 3 x £2 coins and some change I also made DS turn out his pockets and swap up £5 in change with me (including a £2 coin he had NOT thought to inform me about!), then I tackled his mate who, after much rummaging, could only produce £2.51, handed me said change and said 'oh you can have it!' :eek: I'm like, ummmm no? That's your money! And he said 'Oh it's ok, my dad gives me a couple of quid every day anyway' and walked off leaving it in my hand :eek: so it's in my pot and I'll have to try and get another £2.49 off him another day so I can give him a £5 note :rotfl:
