"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

f0xh0les

Mea Culpa (but I'm not sorry!!)

Had to break into my sealed pot, as last week, the mortgage company was being difficult about our bank statements, and have just said they have 'forgotten' to instruct the valuation on the house we are trying to buy, so the next available date is the 2nd March - so they are going to demand this month's bank statements, so I have used the sealed pot money to stop all the little ins and outs and I am going to look super frugal and not give them anything to complain about. We do have savings too! before anyone gets worried, and paying a mortgage will be £500 less a month than the rent we are paying, but still the mortgage company is being really picky. So I have opened my pot, and as soon as I have the mortgage decision finalised, the lid goes back on and I will fling money at it with gay abandon.
So glad I have it though, why doesn't EVERYBODY have one??? Total godsend.

Now if only I could get DH onboard. Ah, if wishes were fishes.....

Thanks so much for checking debtfreeby30 on the list and finding her for me (for her too, but...), Ruth, I'm so grateful to you. A gold star is yours! :staradmin Same as the others, I also thought you meant it was your 16th Birthday though I knew it wasn't, not with the time you've been with us. Belated Birthday greetings to you and congratulations for that and for climbing Scafell Pike!!!! :T Plus the £10er!!! Fantastic!!!!! :j

Thank you very much for my star Sue, it has been a long time since i have earned one but as this wonderful family grows, as do it's helpful members!!

I hope you had a truly fantastic Hen night!! I'm sure you will have some stories to tell

We are of to Surrey tomorrow to collect 2 poodles we will be fostering until a new home comes along. A very long drive but well worth it for the cuddles.

Hello all, its been a few weeks since I last reported my pottings and its been rather manic! Turns out hubby and I were a lot luckier than we first thought and are expecting our second bundle of joy ahead of schedule this October!
Although I've neglected you lot (sorry!), I've not neglected my pot and have deposited various notes and coins made in tips at work and left over from notes after trips to town. Hope you all are well! Penny x

Congratulations! I am so so pleased for you both!!!


I haven't had very many coins for the pot recently. I am going to test out a different way of managing my money next month so we'll see how that does.

Love and hugs to you all

Good evening potters, hope everyone is well.

Steadily potting shrapnel, including 3p roadkill I found on the floor at super drug the other day.

Got a lovely £2 coin today (was hoping one would turn up) so potted that.

I just found £36.02 in a box of paperwork I was shredding. That'll be going into the pot tonight when I get home. At this rate I'll be doing the penny savings challenge twice round this year! lol

Hello fellow potters

Have been suffering with sinusitis for the last few weeks. Feeling slightly better today and can finally hear out of my right side - still waiting for the left to catch up! Have decided not to participate in any exercise classes this week in an attempt to allow my body some time to recover, so just doing my daily walkies with the dog. Didn't do a lot over the weekend but managed to find £6.47 for my little pot.

Congratulations to Pennydreams3 , such lovely news.

Hope you had a lovely time at the hen do Sue-UU and don't need any hangover cures!
