"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

I should have spent money at the theatre today but my friend paid for my ticket.
Now, as I would have usually paid for my own I am wondering whether I should pretend that I did, reduce my entertainment budget, and put the equivalent money into my sealed pot.
I must say, it is very tempting...

Pound potted today
Hope everyone is enjoying the unexpected hot weather! We've had thunder and lightening and some rain this evening. Everything is a lot cooler but I know it going to be a 'sweaty' humid night

Took Liadan and Winston in for their year checkups and vaccination, ended up being a lot cheaper than I had thought (new vet) so should be able to pot the difference at the end of the week.
I have managed to pot $5 from the housemate
plus I've finished 2 of my essays, so no fear Sue I'm getting them done. Number 495

Hello all

I counted my pot because it was getting heavy! No will power, sorry Sue.
Anyway I've banked another £75 and sealed the rest back up again.
Best wishes to everyone, it'll soon be Opening Day!
Off to update my siggy.
