"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

jakes-mum

Hellooooooooo Potters! I swear i'm never on here now! :eek: unfortunately the carp has seriously hit the fan over the last few weeks and has just taken over my life :eek: DH's mum fell over and is in hospital so he had to do the hundreds of miles journey the day before my birthday to go see her so i spent most of my birthday on my own till the kids got home from after school activities (he feels very guilty bless him) So I had to have a birthday rerun this weekend when he got back (still no card from him though! pfft)

Thank you Lynnek and Mossy for my birthday wishes, I did in fact end up with 3 birthday cakes this year as DS upon realising that I wouldnt be getting a cake as DH wasnt there to take me to get one, got on his bike and rode to the local Mr T express to find one (they had none) then to our local supermarket and bought one there. Bless him, he called his sister in the kitchen and they were banging about trying to find candles before bringing it in to sing happy birthday, I had no idea he had gone and got one, was a bit teary as he's not one for things like that. Mum then took me out on friday to get another birthday cake and a G/F one as well for DS

I am taking my grandchildren to Peppa Pig World and Legoland in July. So I've started saving my £1 pounds and notes in another pot to use for spending money.

Ooo plumduff55, that sounds fab! Dont know if you know but cadburys bags of sweets (buttons / crunchie bites / caramel buttons etc) have 2 for 1 entry for Legoland / alton towers / chessington etc on the side at the minute. They are £1 a bag in Mr T as well, might save you a few pence on entry prices for Legoland

Welcome to the newbies :wave:

I have potted a whopping 1p today! I know! try to control your jealousy at my mammoth potting today :rotfl:

Oh and incase anyone didn't know, its 7 months and 3 days to christmas!! (just cos Sue isn't here to tell me off hahahaha!) :xmassign:

Good evening all :hello:

SATs are over for my Year 6 children, so hopefully I can find time to catch my breath. Potting has continued since I last posted, but DH is still being careless - he left 50p on the floor this morning. Duly potted as well.

Well done for surviving them!! One week to go and then you can enjoy half term...probably by writing reports hey!

Evening

Sorry to hear about your MIL. Hope she is OK and comes out of hospital soon. What a sweet thing for your Son to do. Happy belated birthday xx oh, and merry christmas too :D

Its good to hear you sounding so upbeat Helen. I do the 1p per day challenge too, and the £1 per day challenge, and the virtual sealed pot challenge. It really handy having them all finish either just before christmas or just after.

£5,08 potted today. Its been a hectic week, I'm looking forward to a quieter week coming up. 4 days of work and then I have a week off and I can't wait.

I hope everyone is OK.

Psssttt...hey,guess where I am tonight???Moved back into our own home :j:j:j.
Life has been so busy,but last week I promised my son that,this weekend,we would try really hard to be ready to move back home.Well,the house is still over-run with boxes of belongings,but I have spent this weekend dusting and vacuuming,and making paths around the house.Meanwhile,the 4 kids were packing up their belongings at grandparents' house :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:.Blimey,the amount of stuff they have accrued,having been over there for Christmas for 4 children,and birthdays for 2,a Mother's Day,Easter (yes,still Easter eggs hanging around ).All that was bundled into boxes and bags,and put into respective bedrooms.We didn't get back home until about 10pm.It is going to take us weeks to unpack (for example,we have no wardrobes in the new bedroom (mine and OH's,so need to buy (then probably assemble ) those.
With all that going on today,there is no food in the fridge :eek:-literally:the fridge contains a bottle of milk.So tomorrow will be breakfast club and school dinners for kids,then grocery shop in the very near future.
Potting-wise,my 12.5yo son,bless him,wanted to declutter coins: offered me £4.40 in shrapnel,in exchange for 4 x£1 coins ("the extra 40p is for tidying my room,Mum" ),which he is going to pot in his own pot.I don't need anymore shrapnel in my purse,so I will pot the money he gave me.
Be good,everyone .

Morning all
Welcome antomac, sorry I think I missed you.
Everyone sounds really busy and lots of thing going on. I hope you are all well.
I've just bunged £20 in my 1p a day pot for the week, and threw about £1s worth of silver shrapnel in the demijohn.

Have a great day all

I'm potting away over here did a search around my house for change and probably got around a tenners worth. Also dropped in a few coppers.
