"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

Debtfreedolly

Oh the dilemma!!! Just paid for an item which should go in my 'selling' pot but she paid with change including 2x £2 coins!!! £2 coins go in the terramundi! Issue resolved by me putting a fiver in the selling pot and the coins in the sealed terramundi - bonus is I've saved twice!!!

Ahh the upside of my OH spending (too much) time lying on the sofa is I pick up the money that falls out of his pockets! £1.50 yesterday and a big old £4 today and pot it before he notices :rotfl:

this made me giggle, I did the same with my dad the other day, when I was round their house, I saw a flood of coins leave his pocket, then asked him to get me a drink and quickly swiped up the haul before he returned ;-)

cunning plan I believe :-)

Helllllllooooooooooooo :j:j
Well,builders have basically finished the shell of our extension.Plastered,floor screeded,etc.When we had ordered our kitchen from Wickes in November,we told builder that when the time comes,we need to give Wiches about 28 days notice for having them deliver and install kitchen.
I had been trying to catch up with builder for about 2 weeks,to find out where we were at,what order is everythig (floor,kitchen,tiling,etc) done,but I never saw him.(Lots of his other workers,but not him).When I did catch him at the house last Thur,he said "Oh,yes.We will screed the floor next Tue (16th).Give it 5-6 days to dry,then you can install the kitchen" :eek::eek:.Cue manic rush to Wickes to see if they can speed up delivery.Not really,but it is booked for delivery on Fri 4th March,and installation will start Mon 7th,and take about 2 weeks :eek:.Then will be able to do things like lay the floor,paint walls,tile bathroom,etc.
So it is all happening.Meanwhile we are very comfortable at inlaws (though it is alot more travel each day).
All good.

Potting-wise,today I will pot 3x£2 coins (Sainsbury self-serve tils are very generous with these ),and 3x £1 and another 80p.So £9.80 in all,woohoo.

I hope everyone is ok.Hugs to those who need them.xx

Oooooooooo Saver Upper, your house is sounding manic! but in a good way

Loving your double potting Debtfreedolly :j :j

Had a bit of change today as I was forced! (Forced I tell you!!) to take the brood to Maccy D's and then sit and watch them all eat said gross (not even worthy of being called) fast food :eek: DS even got chips and a milkshake and credit to our local Maccy D's, the manager went off and checked the ingredients on the milkshake mix to double check it was gluten free.

Anyway, so, potting news . . . well I had a whole 4p change for the tin, I also sold a game of DD's and tried to explain to her that we should go halvsies on the money as though it was hers, I sold it . . . she said no little miser! no idea where she gets it from :rotfl:

£4 potted today

Had it stashed in the back of my purse for just in case purposes. I didn't use it so in the pot it went.

I've had to open one of my pots again (the terramundi is still intact and safe) my puppy got out and decided to run straight into a car! Luckily it was travelling slow and he managed to come out of it with just some cuts, scrapes and bruises. The vets thinking he is lucky while I think he is starting to give me grey hair, I'm just glad he is okay though.

Just back from our film school, a run to the co-op got me 50p change for the terramundi and my offer of gold stars for students paying in shrapnel got me £40 in change! Used most for my penny a day/pound a week challenge but potted 3x lovely shiny £2 coins so another £6.50 - that's £11 today all told will now be trying to be NSD so that may be all for a while unless anything else sells locally...

I've just potted £2.48 in my pot, been away for a week to see my family so didn't really gather much in the way of change when I was there!
