"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

Nothing to pot but I have spent some, (not from my pot)

but I noticed a MSE offer on her regarding red wine at a certain supermarket that was quite cheap, so I have been doing the rounds, collecting as many as I can before the offer closes or finishes...

If anyone is interested here is the link..

$5 note potted, that's all the money I had left over from the week.
The housemate doesn't want to share the pot, he just knows that I get excited when coins are added. I'll probably end up taking him to dinner as a thank you though.

Thanks for the kind words. Sue-UU, Ill be sure to include it into my final tally.

Another £1.69 added last night. I've also decided to give myself a £40 weekly budget for things like lunch, coffee, things I want to buy in the shop, etc.

I take out cash every Sunday & whatever I don't spend for the week goes into a holding pot. By the end of the month, whatever is not spent all goes into the main pot.

Only just started this week, but so far not spent anything, and I've just been paid for the month. So whatever I have left by Sunday will be going into the pot. Should be an incentive to budget better.

Sorry to read about your job loss benten and pleased to hear you're now back on track. Your weekly budget sounds a good idea for you to follow - you'll have to let us know how you get on with it

Lovely £10 in the pot for this week. I'll have to have a count up this week coming to put it into the bank, as I'm off on my holibobs in a couple of weeks and don't want to leave money in the house.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the Bank Holiday (those that are lucky enough to get one).

Just £3.50 potted for me this week Sue. I think my worst week since I started. Back to school expenses kicking in now. My daughter's feet appear to be growing to the size of canoes so it's new shoes, not to mention new blazer/skirt etc. Expensive times.
My mother-in-law lives New Forest way so I know how lovely it is down there. Also many happy holidays down there as a boy.
I once didn't speak to my mother-in-law for 2 years which I do regret. Problem was I didn't want to interrupt her! That's an attempt at humour by the way - I love her dearly really.
The excitement of Aston Villa visiting tomorrow. A friend is coming up from Devon to watch it with us. Making sure I save separately for next season's season tickets so as not to add more to the credit card mountain. Also looking forward to seeing what old black and white film(s) is/are on BBC2 tomorrow morning. Always go really well with :coffee: and a croissant or waffle.
I'm rambling inanely now so think it's time for bed.
Have a great weekend everyone and keep potting what you can.

An awful lot of change was potted today, at least £5 plus.

DH has slipped up! £1.50 has made its way from his side to the pot mysteriously. And £1 potted from my own purse.

Hi Folks

Great to see all my SPC friends still potting away. Can't believe I've been away for so long �� I've had an up n down time over the past year with personal & family health issues and manic times at work. I've still been potting away but haven't been keeping track. Now things are calmer I can focus again on all things MSE.

Hope
