"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

Hello fellow potters
Had a week off last week and although we didn't go away, we tried to holiday as if we were away. Therefore, no electronic gadgetry, household chores etc was allowed and I must say we had a lovely break. Back in the real world today though. Will be reading back on posts and hopefully restarting my potting in the very near future. Happy Monday everyoneSPC 16 - #09 Totals: 2014 - £264.51 2015 - £207.50 2016 - £396.79 2017 - £369.49 2018 - £484.24 2019 - £309.90 2020 -£282.06 2021- £1839.89 2022 -£1627.830 -

My shrapnel pot isn't sealed so I've just 'bought' £7 worth of 2p pieces out of it for the kids to waste in the arcades on holiday.SPC~12 ot 124

£10 added to my pot, called back a debt that was repaid today, (I asked for it back in £1 and swopped a £5 in sainsburys earlier when I bought milk)
So I have reached my target, but I'm going to keep going and see what happens, not sure if I will increase it, ill give it some thought...

I have to confess I opened my pot and banked it in my savings account, we're moving house this week and I didn't like the idea of it getting mislaid/pinched in the process, I've put the total in my sig and once settled will carry on until declaration day

A few coppers in the pot from a purse empty (Non food budget money).
Just found a random £10 note in my money saving bag... To pot or not? I’m a bit short on funds for my food budget so far this month due to stockpiling toilet roll and kitchen roll from Makro (£27ish). Or should I split in into change and just pot half???Ev Kizzy total S&S ISA: ~£12,225. savings £200
Loans 0 CCs: £244.47 just added. No CC interest

Very well done you TheCatsandDogsMother :j :j that is amazing!
Hope you had fun on your trip Automac
Well done on your good news Clairelm! :j :j
:eek: Mrs_MoneyPenny! dont let Sue see you dont have your pot sealed! you'll be on that naughty step with me when she gets back!
Well done on your total MummyTummy, and tbh I dont blame you banking it before you moved as something always goes astray and would have been heartbreaking if it had been your tin
EVkizzy, if your a bit short on your spends then hold on to that £10'er in the back of your purse or a seperate unsealed pot, and pot anything left if and when you know you don't need it. Don't leave yourself short just for the sake of the challenge
I had £4.67 in change that got slung in the tin last nightim a bit short on the change front recently, I dont know where all my change is going! :eek: my pot is most upset
