"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

MrsC....tobe

Good morning.
I've never done this before so can I join you all please? Myself and my husband already save all our small change up and this year we're planning on putting it into the mortgage each time the jars are full. I'm planning the penny savings challenge in a sealed pot for myself which by the end of December works out about £670 so for 3rd November I'd target about £600. He doesn't know I'm doing this so will be a nice surprise for us.
Will get a pot when I'm in town today

Welcome MrsC, we are very happy to have you join us. Our Sue will be along to give you your very own number, can you put this in your sig please. Also read Post One on Page One as this will give you all the information you will need.
You may be able to count all of your jars and pots in the challenge. Sue will tell you if you can. After all, it's all saving. Enjoy!

Just potted a £1 coin that should have gone back in my purse. Shhh! Don't tell DH. :rotfl:

So far I have been potting 50p's and if I can't manage 50, then 20p (I'm on quite a small budget, hence the small amounts!). It'll hopefully add up to a nice little amount come November.

Have potted £4.51 Change from a few days. Also 3p of that was road change.


Started a part time temp job this week in a school. Found 1p road change there yesterday. Also finished an business and admin free online course this week and have passed the final assignment. It has to go to external moderators, but never had an issue about resubmitting assignments on previous free courses I did.


Hugs to those in need of them.

Sue - Finally caught up with the thread, as being away from it for a little while. Saw the new figure for SPC8. Congratulations to everyone who saved.

I'm going to add up my total each week on a Friday. This week I have potted £17.20. Very pleased.

So the last 24 hours have been somewhat emotional....Just family stuff going on which has distressed me quite a lot....but had a good Chat with Mum today which helped a lot...and am feeling calmer tonight....which is good .......

I also got Weighed this morning and have lost another 2 pounds....So I'm now up to 1 stones and 11 pounds lost....Which I think is the most I've lost in years and years...so I'm feeling pretty proud of myself!!

Glad to hear you feeling much calmer now. Fantastic news on the weight-loss, very well done :dance:

That's great news Kerry - a new job and a new qualification for the new year :T



Been a horrible week here for the weather - cold, wet and windy. It hasn't helped having the lurgy all week but now 'wearing' some V*ck so not coughing so much.


Bit worried tbh, as DH is trunking tonight and one of the roads he sometimes uses is already snow-blocked - so I hope he's listening to the radio for up-dates.


I have potted my weekly £10 but managed to get all £1 coins, so sat pot in kitchen and potted £1 every time I finished a job - motivation instead of procrastination for once :rotfl:


Hope you all staying warm and dry and have a wonderful weekend. Happy thoughts are good for you :j

lynnejk - Thanks. Am pleased that I have finished the course. Can concentrate on the temp job. Hope you get over the lurgy soon. Also hope that your DH takes care while he does the trunking tonight.
