"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

Frogletina

Well and truly feel I am back from my holiday now.

First the good news - I had a lovely time, weather was 31 degrees one day! There was very little rain.

Came home to a leak on my central heating system. Fortunately a neighbour was keeping an eye on things, and in particular the heating as it has a habit of letting me down despite the fortune I spend on repairs each year.

Thought I'd relax and watch some of the programmes on TV that I'd recorded only to find my youview box had gone faulty - that has been replaced today but I have lost all of my recordings.

Thank goodness for my laptop - but the TV programmes were buffering on there, I had a speed of 0.78! and then lost the internet completely. An hour in the cupboard with a new modem and BT on the phone and that got sorted - luckily I had a second modem.

Three things not enough - I also need to replace my tumble dryer. Went just before my holiday, so washing hanging around the bathroom. No outside space to hang it.

I have money saved for such repairs and replacements so I don't have to dip into my sealed pot - good job, as there wouldn't be enough in there for all I need.

Crossed fingers that nothing else goes wrong this week, though I have booked an opticians appt for next week which will mean a high outlay as I am going to try varifocals.

I went on a 7 day tour of Cyprus and Turkey, finishing with 8 days in the final hotel in Turkey. I'm still recovering from all the travelling and different hotels!

Morning everyone.

Gosh it's thursday already, and that means that tomorrow is potting day for me *shakes purse to find it is completely empty*.
Looks like it will be a bank withdrawal this week to start off my new tin. I will be running a bar in a couple of weeks time (still waiting on the licence to come through) and I might need to open tin 1 to use the change from it as my float. It will then be getting banked after that but will keep a definite amount in my signature to keep count for November

I opened my sealed tin today as I though it was full however when opened I found it was only 3/4 full oh well I trotted into town anyway and paid £50 off my credit card and bought two more tins one to put my 5 & 10ps in and one to put my 50s & 20ps in I haven't counted the 1& 2ps up yet. I have restarted the count by putting £14 in today.

That sound lovely, although I know what you mean about recovering from travelling. I find travelling really tiring too. even just on uk work trips by train. xx

£2.31 potted today.
