    I'm going to aim for £100 this year :)
  • Won £17.60 (£15.60 profit) on EuroMillions last night, one of the rare times I've had a go on it:j. I've put the £10 note in the Holding Pot for now and the £5.60 in coins has gone straight into my SP:j.

    It's a sealed bucket (optimistic or what????:rotfl:) and I can still hear the coins hitting the plastic bottom so there's a long way to go yet;)

    Hello everyone!
    Can I join in the Sealed Pot Challenge this time?

    I need to re-focus myself to start clearing some of my credit card debt next year as we're wanting to raise a deposit for a mortgage, so I'm hoping this will help me to keep my change safe throughout the year.

    I currently allow myself £10 a week as 'pocket money' and in theory any change from that week should go into a piggy bank to put towards my debts, but it always seems to disappear! :o

    So going to use this as a way of putting that change somewhere safe and inaccessible until the declare date!

    [/COLOR][/COLOR]Thanks so very much for the help, jakes-mum, that's another shiny gold star for you! :staradmin NB all. The only thing I'd add (for all those helping me) is that many Nos have changed as so many folk were here prior to when I overhauled the list 2 years ago, so if you could kindly check the list first I'd be immensely grateful to you all. :kisses3: Also, to save getting a list of "some save some don't" if folk don't return to declare before the end of November then I begin replacing their names with those of new members: It's on the 1st Post and has been for over a year. Thanks everyone. :)

    I did check! I really really did! and Cherry Burtons name is next to number 469 the same as her siggy :huh: i'm all confuddled now :rotfl: I assumed she was on the list as she was declaring her savings but thought i'd better double check as some new savers do pop on how much they've saved on their own IYSWIM.

    £1.20 found under DS's bed this morning, obviously he didn't know it was there so i've put it safely in my pot :D
