"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

crimson.addict

Can I ask a completely random question? How many bank accounts do people have? I have 9 at the moment but I'd like a couple more to store different amounts of money. Does it matter how many you have?

1. Current account that i use for every day spends
2. Current account where money for DD's and SO's are kept
3. VSP Savings account
4. Old ISA
5. H2B ISA
6. Account to store money i owe OH (he wants it back in 1 chunk)
7. Account to store my wages (i pay myself weekly but get paid monthly)
8. M&S CC
9. Barclays CC

SPC number 2 here all ready to declare

Annnnnnd my total is . . . . . . . . . . .

£2864.04

Am mightly thrilled with that Disney here we come :j :j :j

Oh my word!!!!!!!!! :eek::eek: £2864.04 is almost unbelieveable, jakes-mum, but it is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!!!! :j:T:j You haven't sold your DH, DS and DD to raise THAT have you??!!!!!! You can be honest, you're amongst friends! I'm soooo chuffed to think that you've made it to be able to go to Disney land, your youngsters will be over the moon...you too of course!!!!

Don't worry yourself, Baby Angel, we're all inclined not to think straight when we're under the extreme pressure of counting cash!!!

It's ok Ruth, mcjordi knows exactly what I'm talking about, but I think he's going to wind it in rather than pay for surgery!! :rotfl: Incidentally we have ONE bank account...ask jakes-mum how many she has, I bet it's an embarrassing number!!

Don't you get blushing at all, Dizzy Imp, you've still saved which is all that matters....and your small get to go to the Panto!!!! :dance::T:dance: You did warn us all that it wouldn't be much and no one can accuse you of lieing now can they!! :rotfl: Yours has still gone into the Grand Total at least you get to say that! Be happy with yourself and keep on striving to do better!

Sue xx

NB. 2nd November will be the opening date for 2017.

:eek: Cheeky! I have 4 bank accounts , 2 x current and 2 x savings . . . though i'd be more than happy to have 40 :rotfl:

Ahh I was well happy with that total Sue, I did consider selling the trio but felt I might get a bit lonely on me own in Disney World :rotfl: Least with that and what I have from last years SPC I can pay for the flights and hotel. Now its just theme park tickets and spending money for SPC 10 (tell you what, we're a long way from that £250 goal when i first started! do you realise i've saved just under £7 1/2 thousand pounds since I joined you :eek:)

Afternoon lovely potters

My - what a day !! Sooo pleased you've all done so well :T
The excitement is jumping off the page :rotfl:

My op seems to have gone okay so far, fingers xd, though still a bit achy, itchy, blurry and dazzled. Apparently takes four weeks of eye drops to settle down completely.

Having used the abacus I'm happy to declare

SPC 130
£1470 saved in the pot and another £3146.41 made on the 'make £10 a day' thread over the twelve months.


So grand total of £4616.64 :T :dance: :T


'See' you all on the new thread :hello:
