"Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 10"

jakes-mum

Helloooooooooo Potterssssssssss

Ooo I am just ecstatic (and a little bit anxious) at the minute as I booked our flights to Orlando yesterday :eek: :eek: Have been watching the flights for 4 months now and they were £210 cheaper yesterday for black friday so I took the punt and booked them, so we are now officially going!!

Now i'm in a right state needing to find a hotel and I have my alarm set on my phone as i'm told the Disney tickets will be going on sale so I need to be ready and waiting for that! Then its car hire, travel insurance, ESTA's :eek: and I haven't even looked at planning the days we are there :eek: I'm going to need a holiday after all this holiday planning :rotfl:

Anyway, £5 in pound coins in the tin, along with the odd bit of silver shrapnel from my purse apart from the stray 1p I accidently chucked in there, no copper has entered the pot yet!

Potting the odd few pounds here and there this week. Had to raid one of my pots today - took out 10 one pound coins and replaced with a ten pound note as needed change for Park and Ride at Reading. Saw 1p roadkill in McDonald's near Madejski Stadium but couldn't get to it. I wonder if other people find chasing their target difficult when they're not sure how much they are potting/have already potted, or is it just me?
Sue - Thank you for adding my target figure

Oooh, how exciting jakes-mum! Space for a little one???!

10p potted today. It had been lying at the bottom of a handbag...

I now have a part of my savings spreadsheet set up for visiting my cousin in Canada. No idea when it'll be, but if I don't start to save then I'll never get there.

Evening all

Hope you've all had a good week. Mine was fantastic and really enjoyable as my DS was staying We did loads of things, ate and drank too much and laughed lots. He has now gone to see his father and then some friends - before going travelling in the USA for six weeks starting in Las Vegas :eek:

Have potted my usual £10 and am pleased that it's warmed up a bit today. Blimey, it has been sooo cold here for the last ten days !!

Hope you all having a super weekend

Good morning everyone and welcome to Sunday.
Congrats on the BF flight deals jakes-mum. I know you'll have an amazing time.
£2.64 just been potted and I'm studiously avoiding looking at the little lcd screen on the top of my pot that tells me the running total. Might have to stick something over it, so I can't see if I want the end of year total to be a real surprise!
Most of the shopping this week was Christmas present purchases and nearly all on the card. Add to that no roadkill to be found, made it a low coinage week for me. The purse was practically empty until yesterday.
Busy week next week - work deadlines, so may be glued to my desk and chair most of the time - good for the money saving. But am following it up with a 4 day weekend. 'This the simple things that bring pleasure. I love not having to get up on a Monday morning.
But until then ....
Have a fab Sunday

Would it work if you took the battery out? 😄

Finally got properly started. I have another jar in the kitchen with some change in - so counted that out and it came to £16.55.
Rather short of cash at the moment so I suspect it'll be a while before I get moving - but I am determined to keep going.
Total so far - £18

Thanks Sue-UU for setting the challenge up again.

I would def like to join again for SPC10. My (much hoped for) DFD is Hogmanay 2017, which is a year off what was set originally (like challenging myself) so hoping to make this my best SPC ever to help inch towards that target date.

Would love to pot £500.

Let's make our 10th SPC a beauty!

Afternoon everyone,

Have potted something 6 out of the 7 days this week which I'm pleased with

Nearly ordered a takeaway last night as I had £18 in £1 coins but I stopped myself thinking that's another potential £18 for the pot. Haven't actually potted it yet, patiently waiting for payday on Wed just in case I end up needing to use it before that.

Have potted some stuff this afternoon:
-a £2 coin (haven't had one of those for aaaaages-feels like there is only about 3 of them in my £2 tin)
-6 x £1 coins
-plus another 45p

Not feeling well today.Toothache (that occurs every few months for a few days) making me feel lousy.Had lots of plans for doing stuff around the house today (which needs a bit of a tidy-up after hosting a sleepover for 4 10yo's on Friday night!),but have done nothing except sleep, and mosey around MSE.A few minutes ago I did put some school uniforms on to wash.Hope they a dry for tomorrow morning :eek:.
