Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 12

babs_103

I haven't posted for months due to Family problems but am still potting away. No idea how much I have tho. :T

A bit late in the evening evening, SPCers, but Wimbledon is always so very, very important to DH & I, and what a couple of matches there were today!!!! :T:T I hope you all have a really fantastic weekend.
For those who are not well or who are low in spirits, take great care of yourselves. Get well soon and {{{{hugs}}}} from all the SPC family. :grinheart


I'm so sorry, Melody, I had no idea it could be anything like that. Who would think food could present such dilemmas for folk!
If it does turn out to be bulemia or Borderline Bulemia I so hope your Dr's able to help you through, though possibly with other help. If it turns out not to be either then I hope so very much that you're able to take control, remove the worry from your life and move forward so you feel a whole lot better than you do right now. :grinheart
Brilliant news on the potting front!! :j
All the best with your hospital appointment.

WOW! Your DH has done amazingly with the £25, Dreamworlded!!! :eek: It's just great when our Hubbies/partners work with us in saving, marvellous work the two of you!!!!

I know Jake presented you with a fair problems along the way, jakes-mum, but that's normal for most of us with our lads, it's how they turn out when they're older that counts, and young Jake appears to be doing well.

I'm so glad everything is working out so well for you all with Harley, especially with your DH. Yup, you'll be needing a blanket, especially when she moults! :cool:
It's good to hear young Jake will be coming home again when you go on holiday. A good idea with this year's potting!! Our next door neighbours have gone on a cruise - under 2 weeks and it's costing £4500!!!!!!! :eek::eek:

Hi,

Can’t remember if it was this year or
Last year I joined but can I be a latecomer and join in?
Haven’t posted in a while but been potting since last Christmas and trying to resist opening!

Hi again, squanderscouse and a very warm welcome back! You won't still be on the list as anyone not declaring within 2 weeks sadly gets removed! Please, keep saving well and don't forget the declaration date!!! Your new No is 127, please swap it for your old one, thanks a lot.


Fantastic work yet again with E-b!y and Prolific, Choccygirl!!!! :j You really are doing well, just as you'd hoped for!! Keep it up.
Crikey! Another £70 from Quidco? :eek: Brilliant work!!!! :dance:

Hello again Ruth, it's a joy to see you again!!! :hello: I'm pleased you're still saving well.
I'm roughly the same as normal, thank you, it doesn't change much to be honest.


I can see you've a bit of a problem saving wise, Hetty, the summer holidays is never easy financially. Not long until Carfest now then, my word your little lad will be so excited!! :j

I've just seen your latest post: Really well done with the £4 potted, you definitely should be proud of yourself!!!


Hiya siju. I'm pleased you were able to get off that merry-go-round long enough to let us know your saving. Very well done and you have a great weekend too!!

Hello again Babs!! :hello: Another great turn up! I hope all's relatively well for you and you're able to keep saving well. Don't forget us!


A very healthy £65 has gone into my pot and I'm chuffed to merry mint balls!!! £50 of it is from my YouGov surveys, and I've already got 850 points amassed!!

Have a smashing Weekend folks. :j

Don't forget - your pots get hungry too!!

Sue

Thanks for the warm welcome back and new number Sue-U U!

£10 change from shopping potted yesterday and found a fiver in my jeans pocket so that went in today

Hi! I’m fairly new and early in my debt-free journey. I used to have a sealed tin but broke into it to pay my rent.

I have a small money box that I’ve started using as a “holding pot” recently, and today moved £20.41 into my rather enormous sealed tin to start saving again. I’d love to join this group and try to be more committed to saving!

A question... my sealed tin is quite large, and I don’t expect to have it anywhere near full by October. Asssuming I don’t need to break it open for emergencies, would it be OK if I kept track of what I’ve potted this year and declared that amount in October, but physically left it in the tin until it’s full? Thank you

Morning all, it must be months since I was last here? Apologies for not being around but I plan on logging in regularly from now on. I am still putting money in my pot though. Look forward to being part of this group again.

Hi Sue-UU

Thankyou for the lovely message. I hopefully find out tomorrow whether it is borderline bulimia or not so I'm nervous.

Good news on the potting front though. Put another £7.00 in yesterday so my tin is clinking nicely now:j

Loz2018

I potted £11 this week so am now up to £22.

We empty our pots and declare our savings in October, please make a note of this year's date: 31st Oct 2019.

Please also subscribe to the thread by clicking on "Thread Tools" (lower green bar) and clicking "Subscribe to this thread"...or you may lose us! To put your SPC No on, go to "Quick Links" (right side of top green bar), click and then click on "Edit Signature" and you're away.

*Please pop your number on your sig, it really helps me.


Santiago99 - the answer to your question is: Yes, it will be perfectly ok to declare your cash in October but keep it in the pot until next October! Great news about your holiday pot! All the very best to you on your saving journey.


Hello there SPCers! I hope all of you had a smashing weekend!!

I see you're quickly up and running, squanderscouse, very good work!! :j Keep it up and please try hard to keep away from your pot until October...treat it like a ticking bomb...it'll go off if touched for anything other than potting!!! :eek: Many thanks for swapping your SPC Nos around.



It's so good to have you back again, Peony. Stay with us and be even more motivated than you already are!


Many very best wishes to you for today, Melody. Whatever the news, it's what happens from then on that counts. Be as positive as you can to work with them to restore your life as you knew it before and want it to be for the future! xx Brilliant saving!! :j



Fantastic potting Loz!!

Have a lovely, evening and safe Tuesday folks. :j

Don't forget to feed your pots!!

Hi Sue-UU

My appointment went better than I thought it would. I am not bulimic thankfully😀 I just have extremely bad anxiety and depression so they can now start working on helping me with that. I have gained 3lbs so that's not very good but i don't feel too bad about it as I have managed to eat a bit more which is a big achievement for me at the moment so I guessed I would gain some weight. I have also been able to get some sleep so I have a bit more energy:j

Didn't have any change from the parking today as my husband gave me a lift but i did find £1.00 in the car so that went in the tin😊

Jellyb

I have joined in the past - and have a number from then. I know it's late in the challenge but please can I join in again?

Do I keep the number or will I get a new number?
Hoping to have £300 by opening day!
