"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

£3 potted for me today

Can one over-pot?
I posted very early this morning (almost overnight ) that I had potted £8 in £2 coins..Just now,while having a little tidy-up,I found a £10 note and 2x50p pieces that have been sitting near "my seat"on the sofa.Figured since it hadn't been put in a safer place for over a week,I might as well pot it.Or maybe I was just abit excited because this week I had an actual meter reading for the first time in a while (with not having lived in the house for 5 months).After feeling a bit :eek:by reading the bill wrong,and getting ready to phone the supplier (M+S,SSE) and question it,I realised they were going to re-credit me nearly £300,AND decrease my direct debit by £18/month for gas,and by £26/month for electricity :T.

Currently have no spare change to add as the weekend has been spend free and I haven't taken any money out. But found 20p whilst out yesterday so that has gone in. I have been going big with this and have been putting in £1 and £2 coins, which I would have rarely if ever done before. I want at least £50 in the tin by November.

Hello there, Happybeingme!!! :hello: It's ok, you don't need to re-join us as your No is still on the list, you're No 103, so if you could be sure it's popped on your siggy then I'll be well happy. I've added on your Target of £300, all the best in reaching it. Keep us bookmarked and keep coming on the thread, that way you'll stay motivated.

Afternoon all Potters! :hello: I hope you really enjoyed the weekend. Have a good Monday and a great week whatever you do!!!

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

Well I'm glad to hear your pub has recovered very well, TheCatsandDogsMother, but let's hope he keeps that collar on so the eye stays protected, and that all will go well from here on. Fingers crossed for you big time!!!!

Hello MrsShazbat, and welcome back off your holiday. I hope you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. Good savings with the £6 haul.


Brilliant saving, Plumduff!!! :T If you haven't done it already would you please add that total to your signature, thanks very much. Now go and have a wonderful time on that holiday with your DIL and grandchildren!!


So long as you're potting and potting well, mrs-moneypenny, then that's all that counts! So you be happyand keep merrily potting away!


Thank you so much for still keeping your eye out for my smiley pot, Seline, maybe they'll have more of them out as it approaches Christmas, let's hope so. It's so good to hear that you've become addicted to the great saving habits that's affected us all, good luck to you and may it continue!



Ah very well done, Saver-upper, that's quite a nice smile tin!!! :grinheartThanks for looking and thanks very much indeed for finding it, quite lovely isn't it! I think I'll be having one of those - thank you so much! Keep right on saving those £2 coins as we can't let jakes-mum be the holder of em all....and she will if we don't put our foot down!!!!

BTW there's no such thing as over-potting so keep on plopping it in regardless. Well done with your electric!


Ah there you are, mummytummy! Good to see you though I know all too well that you're potting never ever stops. Is that all it is until it's time to empty the pots......just 115 days!!!!! :eek: My how the year's racing on!


£10 is excellent saving, Antomac!! You're also becoming addicted to this great saving habit!! :dance:Yes, well done Andy, you did us all proud!!!!! :T


Great work Chutney, you're doing so well!


I'm pleased you've got your pot sorted out, Florence J, and don't worry that all days aren't spend days, coz that too is a good thing, so be proud! Well done on re-homing that 20p.

Hellooooooooooooooooo Pottersssssssssssssssssssss

Well i've started my next blanket, this one is an extra special one just for DD its a bit of a fiddly one but I think she'll like it when its done Has the added bonus that I need yellow and green wool that I havent got in my stash so i'm just going to have to go to H0bbycraft and buy some

Bit of mixed emotions news today, 4 weeks ago while out with DH and DD I found £60 on the floor :eek: took it to the police station and notified the company I found it near. No-one claimed it so today I went back down the station and was told its now legally mine :eek: so im a bit :j :j that I got £60 but also really for the poor person who lost it So its now in my Disney fund pot.

have been potting various shrapnel over the last few days but very few £2 coins coming into my hands :eek: my pt is not happy! :rotfl:

Today was an allocated spend day so was able to add 57p on the pot. I'll admit that when i was in home bargains i paid the £2.76 with my change rather than the £5 note i had so that I could keep the note, meaning I had very little change to donate to the tin, but the £5 note is for tomorrow so i will have change then.

Afternoon folks


Gosh - I was so wound up with the tennis, football and having DH under my feet all week, that I forgot to post on Friday


Lots of 'well done' to all the sporting peoples this weekend - Andy Murray, Heather Watson, Lewis Hamilton, Chris Froome and the Portuguese team :T :T


Sooo - my usual weekly £10 potted plus a hugemungeous 1p roadkill found near the bins :rotfl:


Don't forget it's the Davis Cup at the weekend - come on GB :j


Hope you're all having a super week
Lx

Thank you for the lovely welcome back Sue-UU

A lot has happened since I was last on. I'm just completing my 3rd year of college (final exam this week :eek:), I've been retraining for a new career. I also got a part time job in June last year, which I absolutely love :j

Unfortunately, I kept telling myself "I'm working now so I can afford this, that and the other" and have now found myself nearly £7000 in debt. I'm disgusted that I let things get this bad, but think I have finally had my light bulb moment. So onwards and upwards from here!

I'm using a sealed coffee jar as my savings tin as I don't have anything else at the moment (and didn't want to spend any money!) and have popped 4 x £2 coins in there to start things off.

Hope everyone has a lovely evening!
