"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

SandeC

Hi, I'm new to the site and would love to join in please. Not sure if I'll be able to manage much as I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment, but anything's better than nothing!

Welcome SandieC, our commander-in-chief SueUU will be along later to welcome you herself and give you your SPC number which is then yours for life, once you're in, you're in, no escaping now Please put your number in your signature if you're not sure how to do it just shout out and we'll tell you how.


Read all there is to know about the Sealed Pot challenge on page 1 of this thread, join in with the banter, let us know how you're doing, you'll find everyone friendly, helpful and "slightly" eccentric (don't like to say "mad" lol!)


It doesn't matter how much you save on this challenge, anything is more than nothing and some will save more than others, that's life....


Once again welcome and "Happy Potting" - careful though, it gets addictive

Morning Everyone


I had a VERY productive Day yesterday.....I got Weighed and found out that I've lost another 3 pounds so that's 13 pounds altogether so far....which I'm really thrilled with!! And I have been referred for Exercise by the Doctor so the next 6 weeks (twice a Week) at the Gym has cost me just £12....£1 per session which I can't grumble at (especially since my old Gym cost me £60 per month!!!!!!), AND it will hopefully help me to get a bit fitter....And then I made a lovely Bolognese for Tea, which was YUMMY and had enough for 3 more portions - So 2 have gone in the Freezer for next Week and one I shall eat tonight...


On top of all that I managed to Pot £1.70 from Shopping so I'm really pleased with that....I'm hoping to have a small amount to Pot tonight after I've done the Food Shopping for the Weekend....but it WILL only be a small amount....still, every little counts


Welcome to the Newbies and *Hugs* to ALL the Regulars....Plus, Ruth, I LOVE your idea of the bits of paper...I may have to steal that one if it's okay....although not sure I could manage the bigger amounts....maybe I'll do it in monthly amounts so do the paper from 1 - 12 and then pick one of those each Week after all the Challenge is for the next 12 months .... Thanks for the idea xXx


Speak to you all later on...Have a WONDERFUL Day everyone xXx

Hiya Helen...and congratulations to you in doing so very well; that's excellent news and I'm so thrilled that you're so proud of yourself and your achievements! Look out when you're exercising at the gym, you'll feel GREAT when the releasing of all those endorphins!! GO HELEN!!!!!! :jGreat saving too, you're continually on the UP!!!

Excellent potting, Kerry!

Even better then, honey, you're doing so well! :dance:

Many thanks, skilly, but it's my pleasure, truly. I've missed your early morning posts - see they are read!! So keep on coming. All best wishes to your Sister, to you and Hubby too, a very sad time when a hairy loved one passes.

Perhaps there's a hole in your Hubbie's pocket, sunshine, what a shame it would be to sew it up!!!! :rotfl: Walk behind him!

Have a good Friday, SPCers, and prepare for a GREAT WEEKEND, but keep potting!! :dance:

Sue xx
