"Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 10"

Miss_D_Meanour

Good morning everyone.
I'm hoping I've got my days right and that it's Thursday. Otherwise I'm going to be a tad disappointed. Any ways, I'm potting £5 today. This is from selling my old I-phone 4s. I was about to throw it out (it was second
No hand when I got it and can barely hold a charge. But then I thought WTHll and did a run round the websites. Best offer I got was £31 from music magpie. All the sites had good and bad reviews so I went for it. Low and behold message back saying screen was "water logged" so now offer is down to £5. That screen was perfect! But since I'd been planning on dumping the phone, £5 is a good profit. The money hit the bank account yesterday, so into the pot it goes!
Not sure I would have even bothered without this challenge, so big thanks.

Running total in pot now £13.98
Happy Thursday

I've not been shopping for a few days now, and when I do I always try not to spend coins that are less than £1, and I try to keep my £2 coins too.
Just did a count of potable coins in my purse and it's a measly £2.25 getting potted tonight!

DH has been foolish, gone away and left £2.22 on his bedside table. The fool! All potted, obviously!

Evening

FB was fine today Sue, no idea why it sometimes is and sometimes isn't though!! Not that I have done many steps

I like the new £5 note, because when I fold it up to put in the slot of my tin, I know that it is springing out again when its in there and will be all straight and neat next November when I open the tins

£3 odd potted today.

The two I put in my tin and took out this month were not straight and neat. When I took them to the bank the advisor changed them to a £10 note to put in their new cash deposit machine as they were so crumpled.

Evening Potterssssssssss

Sorry haven't had time to read back on the thread yet, been crazy busy so hugs to anyone with bad news or illness and hurray! for anyone with good news

I bought a second tin for my precious £2 coins This one is also a trolls tin as any other design seems to have become non existent :eek: Christened said tin with 9 x £2 coins especially for my darling Sue who I know feels i'm not trying hard enough if I dont pot at least 2 a week :rotfl: Dear Uncle gave me another one to keep them company and then the psot office gave me one more so lots of £2 coins to start me off
I also found my first road kill of 20p :j :j sat right by our car when we came back from said shop of the pound (that doesnt seem to sell much at a £ anymore :eek:) so obviously it knew I would give it a nice warm home

Right I shall now go back and read the thread to see what I missed

Oh no, that's not good. Perhaps I need a tin for plastic £5 and a tin for everything else. Then there would not be coins piling on top of the notes :eek:

Morning Peeps...

AntoMac....Thank you for those lovely words....Knowing my Family we may not laugh at the Funeral but probably will do at the gathering afterwards....He was a funny man sometimes....bless him...and I miss him dearly...

hummingbird...thank you for your lovely words...much appreciated...I'm so sorry that you lost your Dad....*Hugs* to you...

Sue....Thank you for my warm hugs...that's so lovely....The Funeral I know will be difficult but it's good to be able to celebrate his life...it was a long and mostly good one....And he should be proud that he had a Wife that he was married to for 62 years, 2 children, 6 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren...not to mention a loving brother and several nieces and nephews...He was very blessed and very loved and we were blessed to have him....

Now...I had some VERY good news on Wednesday...After Training for 7 years I have now become a fully-qualified Psychotherapist..!! There were definitely some tears and lots of happiness (tinged with sadness that Grandad couldn't see me graduate although I know he will see it from where he is, I truly believe that)....So I'm done...finally!! And very happy about it...

Now onto Money Saving...Today I am going to Pot just 30p...I'll get there....I'd rather start slow than Pot more than I can afford...And this Year I'm going to have a Holding Pot so that I don't Pot more than I can afford!!

*Hugs* to anyone that needs them and sorry about the long Post... xXx
