"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...

  • 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.

  • 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! :D

    I think Sue is going to smack your bum!

    I have been so tempted to count mine, it's killing me not knowing. Less than 2 months to go though. Not long now.
