Please can I hop on board? Not been on mse in months, but need to start getting things back on track.

I dug my old jar out last week, I'm doing my sealed pot slightly different and will be putting all £2 coins and 50p peices in, as we already have a big old whisky bottle we put loose change into as a family, for holiday spending money.

Hoping to get at least £100 into my sealed pot to use towards xmas pressies for dd's. There is £6 in already x

Welcome to the party :-0)

You will be allocated a number in time, which you put in your signature and update your progress on here, whether that be once a year, month, or week, or some of us update daily, whatever works for you.

Lots of helpful information on page one, about what can be included, how others are doing the challenge, and more importantly the opening date, ready for that special time, (whatever you are saving for, idea in mind, christmas, or just paying of the bills)

It soon adds up and you hardly miss it...

Good luck and welcome again

My curiosity got the better of me yesterday so I got a knife on my Terramudi pot to see how much was inside.. Eventually, after a lot of poking, £90 in £1 and £2 coins fell out! Very happy with this as I wasn't expecting that much. Now it's safe back in the pot. Not bad for less than 5 months of saving. Hope everyone is well

£2 in the pot today, I need to work harder at potting, I keep leaving the change in my purse and then spending it! grrr

I increased my hours this week (cos having a day off a fortnight is just too crazy ).As a result,until people set up BACS to pay me with,they have paid me cash.Yesterday I was paid £58 in cash,today £22.Not sure how much of it to pot.I am tempted to pot the lot,but that is alot of money at once.
Decisions,decisions.....

A total of £3 has been potted today

Saver-upper why don't you put the money aside somewhere you can't easily get at, but still accessible (eg the back of an unused drawer, in a section of your purse/handbag/wallet you never use) and if you haven't needed to touch it for say a week or so then it's safe to pot. If you do need it, it's there, but if you don't spend it then you may as well pot it
