Jellyb

Hello - I would love to join the challenge. I have saved £2 coins before with great success but seem to have lost the 'saving habit'.
I would love to save £500 by next year - but to be honest - anything is better than nothing!

Looking forward to joining in!

Hi Jellyb and welcome to the Sealed Pot Challenge! As we are close to opening our pots for this year and declaring how much we have saved, it would be better for you to join the new thread when it starts....which will undoubtedly be the end of this week!

Keep an eye out for the new thread, and in the meantime, why don't you have a read of all the posts on the first page of this one to see what it's is all about. Once the new one starts, be sure to post in it, and the lovely Sue will give you a number which will be yours to keep, as long as you promise to look after it well!

Good luck with the saving!

Evening all

Lovely amount of last minute potting happening :T

Bet you're all getting a tad excited to count up eh.

Hope to be able to join you all on Thursday, but having the genetic cataract done in my left eye t/m afternoon and not sure how/what happens to my sight after that, but fingers xd.

Wishing you all have a super count-up day and hope you are happy with all the dosh you would otherwise have frittered away spent :rotfl:

Hey mummytummy, d'you know if the Aussie $2 coins are the same as the English ones? I'd love to know as I adore ours!

Sue-UU They're about the size of a 1p same colour of a £1, thicker than a 1p but not as thick as a £1, but they are great to save :rotfl:

A very warm welcome to you, MrsTinks and Jellyb, it's lovely to have you both with us. Enjoy yourself saving, posting and be sure to join in the banter with us. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 2nd post of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. PS. We empty our pots and declare our savings in November, please make a note of NEXT year's date: 2nd Nov.
Please also subscribe to the thread by clicking on "Thread Tools" (lower green bar) and clicking "Subscribe to this thread"...or you may lose us! To put your SPC No on, go to "Quick Links" (right side of top green bar), click and then click on "Edit Signature" and you're away.

*Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it really helps.




Thanks so much, MrsC....tobe, for the very friendly and informative welcome for which you've earned yourself a gold star! :staradmin Your words of joining SPC 10 are right to a degree, but if people wish to join us now then it makes it a little easier for me to have them do so....before the madness begins! :eek: I think you'll understand my way of thinking. Thanks so much for the help. xx


Good morning, super avid Potters!! :dance: I hope each and everyone of you are almost ready for the GREAT DAY, keeping warm also! Not long now before opening our pots!!!! :dance: :j :dance:

For now, here are some special {{{hugs}}} to help you get well quickly. We're all thinking so much of you. :grinheart Take care!

ModestyB - are you ok? Haven't seen you for too long!!


Oh I know just what you mean, mrs-moneypenny - isn't it just all getting so very exciting right now!! :eek: Such a wonderful time of year for us all to enjoy. We've worked tirelessly to get to this point and I hope we all enjoy it to the full. Lap it up mrs-P!!!!!

Hi Lynne, I bet you're also getting super excited about declaration day, though I see what you mean about the uncertainty of what your sight might be like given that it's tomorrow that you have your cataract done. All very best wishes for the op going perfectly and you regaining near perfect vision as possible! Hoping to see you pop your head round the door again asap....


That's excellent last minute potting, Antomac! Well done, not long before you see how much your regular savings netted you!!!!!!


Hiya TheDapster! Don't worry, I knew for sure you'd be back with us at the time, see you just as soon as you're ready! Happy Counting!!!

You make me laugh so much at times, mummytummy! :rotfl: Were you still here when ours were issued? They're gorgeous, gold and silver and just beautiful, so much so that it's a real joy to receive them, jakes-mum literally begs shops for them! :rotfl: Glad you love yours and thanks a lot for explaining them to me! Not long to wait now eh!!!! :dance:

Ooooh the excitement mounts eh, folks!! :jJust ONE day left so......pot POT POT! :dance:

Hello everyone. Hi sue. :wave:

Well I've had a quiet year in terms of potting and posting. But things have been really busy in real life. Coming to the end of my mat leave and have really struggled with money. My debt has doubled and my pay is going down when i return to work. So will count up my pot in the next day or two and will be making a conscious effort next year with potting and posting. In the hope I can save money and stay motivated. xx
