    Morning Everyone... :)

    I'm potting another 60p this morning....Was just thinking if I can get £100 just from this Challenge alone it would be GREAT....and I would really feel like I've achieved something... So that's my Aim for this Year... :D

    But I'm doing a few other little personal Challenges.....One is the Penny a Day Challenge, not sure if there is a Thread on here for that....but I'm doing it anyway....and doing rather well and on track so far....and the other one is the £366 in 366 Days Challenge...a little behind on that one so far....but I'll get there... :D Not sure if I can include these in the Totals at the end of the Year on here Sue??

    I'm doing MUCH better this past Week....it's been a MUCH better Week and I'm starting the Weekend feeling positive and hopeful....

    I hope you have a WONDERFUL Holiday Sue and look forward to hearing all about it when you get back.... :)

    *Hugs* for anyone that needs them....and I'll try to Update more often.... Thanks for reading my ramblings of this morning!! xXx :)

    Hello,

    Can I join please? My plan is to add the money I save by taking a cheaper travel option to work (£1.70/day) and by not buying take away coffee each day (£2 per coffee). I won't achieve this every day but joining the SPC will give me an incentive to try to do it more often.
    I'll also add any roadkill (Hopefully I'm not the only one who thought roadkill was something else until I found out what it refers to! Sometimes the occasional common sense bypasses I have quite scare me).
    I've made a nice coffee in the stovetop pot this morning (instead of buying one) so will put my first £2 to my moneybox.
    Hope you have a lovely time in Scotland Sue.

    Welcome to the Sealed pot challenge!! :D

    What a great idea AntoMac, I'm sure it will all add up quickly, and I'm sure having the pleasure of putting that money in your moneybox instead of spending it on coffee etc will help you to keep to your new money saving routines! :)

    When our wonderful Sue is back from holiday she'll give you a number but in the meantime, make yourself very welcome. :)

    Welcome Cameron,

    Sue is away at the moment but when she gets back she will allocate a number to you, but while you wait have a look at page one which gives you an idea of how this challenge works (holding pot works very well) and you can work out how it will work best for you, and the more important opening date.

    You have an update link, just like on my challenge so you will get used to updating as you fill up your SPC.

    If you haven't already link this by clicking the thread tools at the top, and this means you wont miss any exciting news and makes it easier to share your successes.

    When you get your number you can add it to your signature, alongside your debt figures.

    Good luck and welcome again.

  • Hi all

    Have not been updating (smack on wrist) But I have been potting. My [STRIKE]nosey[/STRIKE] lovely son looked at my pot and suddenly realised that you can in fact open it.

    I thought it was one of those tins that didn't open :mad: It has a section on the top that screws off

    Anyway I did not count it I merely added duct tape around it so I am not tempted to dip into it.

    Well done everyone :T
