"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

Florence_J

Hello, Can i join? My brother has returned from Vietnam and has given me a sealed floral piggy bank. It is perfect to begin this challenge with.

I have made my first deposit of 20p and look forward to smashing it on November 3rd (It is quite ugly)

-Selene

Sue I am 95% sure that the smiley sealed tins are from Poundland. I distinctly remember seeing them somewhere and I rarely go to B&M but very often go to Poundland so it is more likely to be from there. I will keep an eye out and if I see them again confirm where they are

TheCatsandDogsMother Happy birthday to the puppy, although poor thing! Hope he gets better soon and avoids the injuries for a while!

Florence J Welcome to the thread! Our lovely leader Sue-UU will be along soon to give you a number of your very own. In the meantime the opening post has a lot of useful information for you to read through - including how to get money out of a terramundi (sealed pot) without smashing it! Instead of smashing your pot, why don't you sell it come November 3rd and use the proceeds to buy a new pot more to your liking, or regift it at Christmas and use the money saved for a nicer pot? Or better still, put a new sealed pot on your Christmas list and get replacement for £0!

In other news... I have potted £2 in my holiday pot and have roughly £5 in various coinage waiting to go into my sealed pot which is currently in a "safe" location that's so safe I can't seem to find it again At least I know it's somewhere in the house, I just need to declutter a bit more to find it again :rotfl:

A very warm welcome Florence J. I hope you will have many more deposits in your piggy bank before November

Had a very busy weekend but yesterday I cleared my purse of all change and potted £7.95. Happy Tuesday everyone

Thanks for a great welcome, Selene, a lovely gold star is yours! :staradminThanks also re the smilie pot too, it sounds as though it must have been £land and if you'd keep an eye out for them I'd be grateful.

Good night and morning all Potters! :hello: I hope you all have a lovely Thursday. If you watch Wimbledon, do what I do and love every ball!!!!

Best wishes to all those of you who aren't well, here are some {{{hugs}}} to help you get better soon, those who may be feeling low too. Do know though that your wonderful SPC family are thinking of you. :grinheart

Ahh, so there you are at last, 32b3, had I known better I'd have been convinced you'd done a bunk with your pot under your arm! I'm pleased you've popped in though and hope work improves, or should I perhaps say, slackens off a little. Well done with the saving.

Wow I have paid off my credit card woo hoo :-) now I can really start saving :-)

Fantastic news, Tizzi!!!! I'm absolutely thrilled to bits for you, what a great weight off your shoulders! :T You can save now....just for yourself!! Well done indeed. :j

Oh well, at least you tried for me, Saver-upper, though are you certain there's not a Sue's SPC one?!! If not there should be; what a thought eh! :j

Hey Sue...How are you doing? I'm loving running the Thread and have a great bunch of people on there...so I'm very grateful and lucky....

I'm still saving up for various things and should have a nice Total to declare on here at the end of the Year....so I'm really pleased with myself right now....

Hi Helen!!:hello: It's lovely to have you drop in and see us. So good to know everything's going well on your thread, not just for you but all those you're keeping motivated too! I look forward to seeing what that total is too.


Brilliant news from you too then, TheCatsandDogsMother, it's always wonderful when folk start to get their finances back in order! So chuffed for you and keep up that great work! :T

Ah, so the pup is growing then, yet still the little monkey provides you more headaches! I hope he's soon better - again! Then to mature a little and not be such a daredevil perhaps....we'll see.


I see the emptying of your purse very often reveals good things eh, siju, better in that pot!!


You soon start off on the next project, jakes-mum, and why not when you get such great results. Good on the cash front too.


£10 in the pot after a speedy shop today - then it was back to TV and Wimbledon!! Well folks, have a lovely Thursday and Friday I might be back before the weekend, but just in case I'm not....

Be sure to thoroughly enjoy the WEEKEND, Potters. Don't forget though...keep the feeding up! :dance:

Sue xx

The puppy is in surgery today for his eye, it ended up being worse than first thought and refused to heal.
On a positive note I've had a number of no spending days this week and with all the food in the house should have some next week as well this means more money for my pot.

Aw poor puppy, I hope he recovers now xx

Your poor pup, I really he hope he will be ok and recover quickly, a bit like kiddies no doubt and that he'll soon bounce back, possbily quite literally with him! He's costing you a small fortune! Still, at least you have a positive side, thank goodness!
