"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

lexbubbles

Ooh yay another star! GUNNING FOR A CONSTELLATION, GUYS.

I left £2 in my purse after my last potting the other day but I'm just gonna shove it in. Probably regret this later at the gym xmas party but heeeeey ho. One less drink for me (I say this as if I don't get bought drinks all night being a) notoriously poor and everyone takes pity on my and b) one of about... 5 women training jiu jitsu in Glasgow and thus some kind of unicorn)

Can I join in the fun? I'm about to start my 'new life' as a retired person, so need to watch the pennies and the pounds. Plus I have more time. I already kind of do this: save small coins, £2 coins, points on loyalty cards, do surveys, and so on, but not in a systematic way. This will focus me and I would love to see how much I actually do save.

A very warm welcome home, savingpennies! You found you name and....didn't put your number on??????!! :mad: Shocking! Anyway, your SPC No is 420, please could you pop it on your signature for me as it'd be a HUGE help? If you're unsure how to do it: Go to User CP (on the left of the top green bar), click on it, then from the list click on "Edit signature" and that's it - BUT don't forget to click on the "save changes" part at the bottom. Thanks a lot and all the best with saving!

Evening, all Potters, I hope you all had a good Friday and you'll now have an even better WEEKEND! Just to think, a week today will be Christmas Day!!!!! :eek: Enjoy the next few days in the run-up folks.{{{Hugs}}} to any of our family members who may be poorly, I do so hope you're all so very much better soon.

Evening all :hello:

Not to worry, [Deleted User], so long as you're saving as best you can that's what counts.

Very wise to look upon your savings that way, sunshine! :T I bought my chicken and cow from !mazon, but IF you don't need one then .....pot the cash instead!!!! :rotfl:

So long as you're saving, Dragon Lily, what more could I ask for...or you! A very Merry Christmasto you also!

just trying, thanks so much for adding your No, brilliant! Do all you can as I'm sure she'll be urging you along!

Oh dear - poor you Sue. I had sinusitis a few years ago and can sympathise as it's so painful. I expect you're on ABs so hope it soon clears up. You might find some olbas oil on a tissue helps, or even try putting some menthol in very hot water in a bowl and sit with your head over it, making a tent with a towel.

Lx

Thank you so much, Lynne, it's b:silenced::shhh::silenced::shhh:y miserable and so painful, but hopefully the ABs will soon kick it where it hurts and get shot of it. Well done on the £10er!

Whoops, just noticed reading the list of members that my name is already there. I must have joined before and lapsed!! Oh well, here is to a new start.

Good on you, 12 month challenge!!! For the encouragement to others too! :j

VERY WISE, lexbubbles!!! :j That constellation bit gave me a giggle. :rotfl:

Evening

£3.50 potted today.

Tomorrow I am delivering loads of the Christmas presents I have here. I will be glad to see them gone. One downside of being very organised is that presents hang around for a long time

Another Christmas get together tomorrow too, so that will be meal number 3, only one more after that, until the actual day

I hope everyone is having a great day

DD proudly handed me 2 pennies yesterday evening, 'where did you get them?' I asked. 'I found them in the playground, they are for you for your pot' love her also added 4p of my own from the Mr T self service and another £2 odd in shrapnel (as DS paid for his live via the carp in his pocket . . did I mind? did I eck as like )

Jakes-mum you did make me laugh. My sons now 16 and the exact same. Last week he took a day of work to go Christmas shopping and I needed to come with him, an hour in a bmx shop then what will I buy for my sisters, I said you choose....took forever.

Last year it was 100 phone calls, slight exaggeration but it felt like it ☺.
