  • Hi Sue
    I’m so sorry I’m late!
    Life has got in the way but I have potted £400 this year which I’m really pleased with :j
    I won’t sign up for another year because I don’t get time to post, but I’ll still be potting because it’s habit now :)
    Thank you for getting me going with this, and for your lovely friendly posts over the last 5 years :)
    Love
    TheDapster aka rosyq xxs
  • Sorry I'm Late .. only just cracked my pot open ... Sealed pot member #540 declaring £2089. My daughter and I really took the challenge on board this year - all our car boot season money went straight into the pot which is why it is so huge this year. Thanks to this challenge we are going to have a fantastic Christmas xx Thanks Everybody xx

    Hello again Rosie!!!!! I’m delighted at the amount you’ve saved, many congratulations to you on doing so!!!!! :dance::T:dance:
    However, I’d be so bitterly disappointed 😢 if you weren’t to still be part of SPC. You’ve been with us for so long now and to think of you not coming back is horrible! Please reconsider! Even if we only see you once a year it’s still our R returning to us. Please think it through.


    Good Heavens above Charliebear!! You and your DD have most definitely taken the challenge extremely seriously and just look at your rewards!!! Many congratulations to you both and I sincerely hope you do exactly the same from here on on SPC 11, it’s all so worth it!!!!! :j:T:j

  • Hi all :)

    Sealed pot member #042 calling in here. :hello:

    I didn't pay much attention to my sealed pot this year, mainly using it to store smaller coins that I'm not keen on (5p and 20p I'm looking at you :D:D).

    My total in the pot is therefore a modest £75.80.

    However, I have also saved £916 in a savings account for Christmas, so all is well.

    I can remember when this SPC used to be an absolute lifeline for me. Much as I always loved Christmas, it was often a time of great stress figuring out how to give my kids a lovely time on limited funds. Thanks to Sue and all who run this thread - you don't know how much it has helped me in the past :T.

    Life is more comfortable these days but I still like doing the sealed pot because it still brings me comfort :). Merry Christmas one and all :xmastree:

    So sorry I'm late.
    Sealed Potter 057 declaring at £137.57 .
    I had to break in around June and took out £35 in notes to pay for a return to Watford General Hospital when my son was suddenly admitted.
    I put the shrapnel in a new tin then carried on.
    I'm not sure if I'm declaring £137.57 or the actual total collected which was £172.57.
    I'll join again in 2018 and kick off with the office lottery share out in January. This time, barring a miracle it will be £22 against the £240 I've paid into the syndicate this year
    I'm pulling out of the syndicate in January, I reckon I get better "interest" from my sealed pot
    Sealed pot challenge number - #057 2017 = £172.57 2018 = ????
    15/12/17 Mortgage £219,902 Secured loan £54,946 Unsecured £66,088:eek:
    15/1/18 Mortgage £219,596 Secured loan £54,492 Unsecured £64,,459 :eek:

    Better late than never scatterbrain! :D I quite understand your dilemma and know I’d have done exactly the same under the circumstances! I hope your son is alright now.


    £172.57 is the total amount saved and that’s what counts here on SPC, many congratulations on having saved so much too, not bad for a year!!!! :j:T:j


    I think I’d be inclined to agree with you re the lottery v SPC, hubby and I stopped doing it months ago, darned good job too! See you over on 11.

    Just a quick bump SPCers to try to get late declarers to come on in and let us know how much you managed to save. The amount doesn't matter at all, it's the saving that counts!!!! :j
