I would like to join this year please! I have a pot ready and waiting, any and ALL spare change is going in. I'll use cash as much as possible & then accrue even more change that would just get lost in the abyss - either down the back of the sofa or in DHs pocket!! Also any extra left over from each months various budgets will go straight in.

I've already written the open date in my 2018 planner! Here's to a great challenge!

Another gold star well earned for you both jakes-mum :staradmin, 3forholidays :staradmin, Lynne :staradmin, mrs-moneypenny :staradminand DancingUnicorn :staradmin. Many thanks girls for being so very helpful.


Hi katiepants, and well done with the shrapnel! How about using an empty coffee jar or anything with a lid or that you can even make a temporary lid for? We’ve had members use old chocolate tins and the like; No, I’m not suggesting you buy and empty a tub of Roses or Quality St etc!!!!! :EasterBunHave a look round and see if there’s anything that will fit the bill for now. Good luck!


So sorry I'm so very late, SPC folks, but all down to a rough couple of days. I hope you're all enjoying the week so far. It's so good too see so many new members joining us, the rest of you nattering too as all helps everyone!! :dance:
To all those our members who are poorly or low in any way at all, here are some loving {{{{hugs}}}} to help you get you feeling much better soon!


Excellent potting siju! My, our little feathered friends are good to us though I’m sure their food gets more expensive every we buy it!! :cool: Your pot will be doing a happy dance to know it’s soon to be filled with £5ers,siju you too I’m sure!!! :jA great idea!


Words of wisdom for sure List Maker! We all should do our best and give saving a try to find out the fantastic benefits that can be achieved as a result!!!! I’m so pleased you’re both so proud!! :j



That’s a marvellous idea 166million, do let us know how you go with it as I’m sure there are many others that would also benefit.


That’s an amazing sum potted Saver-upper!!!! Keep it going. Your sometimes larger sums are quite easy to understandas we all have better times and the not so good ones. Fantastic potting!!!! :T



I was concerned when reading that that maybe Jack had potted it all in HIS POT, Hicksy... Phew!! :eek: My, you haven’t got long to go now until you’ll be needing another pot!!!! :A Don’t forget to let us know ASAP please! :dance:



Ah but it’ll soon be the paper variety he starts on next, Westie! ;)Then of course there’s baby No 2 who will quickly learn from young Jack!!! The story of it all really made giggle, but your little tale almost put me into hysterics!!!! :rotfl:Lord knows who’s got it now - can’t say they’ll be flush but....!!! :rotfl:



You’re most welcome mrs-moneypenny, I’m just so grateful in having the help! Brilliant potting btw!!


Whoops! Oh dear Florence, obviously one of those reflex things where you just can’t stop yourself I’m guessing! Still, it’s all for the good!!



I bet you’re not the only Sealed Pot member who’s eyes light up 👀 when folk jingle past you, jakes-mum, though I doubt there are many of us apart from you who would be almost literally wanting to pounce on the poor chap!!!! :eek: :rotfl:

What a wonderful and very thoughtful Uncle your DH has, bless him!
BTW I thought perhaps young Lily was getting better, so sorry to hear she’s been really rough poor little darling. I hope she’s soon much better.


At last DebtFreeDuo!!! Such a terrific amount to be able to pot and one go, brilliant work!!!! :j


Well done DancingUnicorn!!! BTW. In answer to your question - that will be perfectly ok. 👌


I’m so chuffed you were paid on time Helen! Thrilled too that you’ve potted so much so quickly!!!! :j


NOTHING about saving is paltry Vicky! So well done with the 50p - it’s more than I’ve potted for a few days but hopefully we will go shopping tomorrow.

Sue xx

Opening date for SPC 11 will be 1st November 2018


Anyone wishing to join us, it's NEVER too late, so please just ask, you'll be made very welcome.

DebtFreeDuo

Potted another £10 from eBay sales, not doing too badly at the moment. I want it to be a complete surprise when I open my pot but I can feel myself trying to make a mental note of how much I've added, must stop doing this.

lucyhope

Hi all, that's me off and running! £15 in the pot, great start, hope I can keep it up.

Frogletina

I have now bought two new pots from Poundland, but made the mistake of putting some money into each of them.

I managed to retrieve the money from one by making the slot a bit larger and using some tweezers to take out one ten pound note and one five pound note, plus a few coins which I have now put into the other pot. Next thing I need to do is to find a place to store the second pot so it doesn't get mistakenly used again!

Oh, and a reminder to everyone that the old £10 notes are the next to be withdrawn - in March 2018.

Evening all

I have been potting little bits and pieces to my pot. It still sounds quite hollow but at least it’s not empty

arc2014

Ooh 200! A nice round number thank you!
Potted another few coins today - about 50p I think. I've also had £70 knocking about in the kitchen for a few weeks. If it isn't spent soon it will be gong in the pot! Don't know how happy DH will be about that, but he should have either spent it or banked it shouldn't he :rotfl:

Florence_J

38p to the pot.

Hi Everyone

Glad to read about everyone starting off with new pots I brought a new pot from Poundland for a fresh start. Potted £7.00 yesterday - left over from buying some yarn for knitting. Potted 50p today.
