Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 12

siju

Thank you for my star Sue-UU, it's always a pleasure to welcome newbies to our challenge.
It sounds as though you've been given an early taste of what it's like to be grandparents... Yes indeed Sue-UU! I keep dropping very unsubtle hints about becoming a granny, but they keep ignoring me! Ah well, all in good time

I had a lovely relaxing weekend after all the mayhem recently, girly lunch on Saturday and pottering around the garden on Sunday. Bliss :cool:

Potting £2.42 today. Have a fabulous week Potters

Sue-UU

Afternoon all Potters! I hope you all enjoyed a glorious weekend!! :j Though to those of you who had a LOT of rain :eek:, my heart truly goes out to you. :heartpuls We're having our first rain today and it's a joy to see and hear after all the heat.
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 thrilled you thoroughly enjoyed your day at Carfest, Hetty. I bet your little boy was so very excited, you too by the sounds of it. :j Fantastic news.... for the pot too so an excellent day around!!!! Thanks to you, he'll always have those memories stored away.


Ooh what great savings, Melody!!! :dance: I'm sure you made the sensible decision not to spend.

I quite agree with you about your weight gain as hormones do amazing AND weird things to our bodies. Now look forward to when the weight drops again. :grinheart

Hello datlex! Good to see you again. You've certainly been saving well, an excellent total!!! :j

It's so good to know you too enjoyed your weekend, siju, the perfect way to!


Good potting!!
One of these days one of your offspring will be bursting to give you the news you yearn for! :shocked: Look out then, you'll be so very chuffed and excited!!!!! :j:T:j

Enjoy yourselves tonight and tomorrow folks. :j

Don't forget...some of those pots could be starving!!

Burned myself out getting my ends to meet so resting at home today. Taking a break from fimance planning to read through the thread. 20p to the pot. My boys have their own pots too. Lots of pennies

Just done the first of the month big shop and came in on budget. Got £2.46 change for my pot. I really need to stay in budget for the next couple of months and try and build the savings up. I went a bit spendy and bought a new mattress. Mine was 15 years old and I had daily morning backache so I’ve invested in a “mattress in a box” which arrived Wednesday and I’ve just had the best two nights sleep in ages with no backache! Brilliant for my aches and pains but not so for budgets. Quite a challenge I’ve set myself, stay in budget during the school holidays :rotfl:

I’ve added £5 to my pot this week so am now up to £35. I think I’m going to stop counting exactly what I put in so it’ll be more of a surprise when I open my pot in October.

August is looking to be quite an expensive month for me but I’m going to carry on potting what I can.

I have been potting but I haven't logged onto MSE for a while. I hope everyone is well.

3 months to go until opening day

Another £3 potted yesterday and hopefully more later today as I need to get some new clothes for my daughter so the change can be put away after:j

You were right Sue-UU hormones are strange and wondrous things. I lost the weight I gained and some extra this week so very pleased:D

Hello there SPCers! I hope you've had a good week and are ready for a gorgous weekend!! :j

It sounds as if you've certainly been overdoing it, Hicksy, but I hope your day at home has helped you sort things out. It'll definitely have helped you catch up with us all. All the best in getting up together and potting, for the boys too.



They say we're supposed to have a new mattress every 10 yrs, Hetty, so you were surely overdue one. Obviously it's working well for you though, so well worth the outlay, though I won't ask what a mattress is a box is! :think: Hubby and I bought a new one in January and it's been marvellous!


Really well done with the £5er potted, Loz!! Good luck with not counting your money potted in future, just save as much as you're able. Even though August is looking to be an expensive one for you (aren't they all!!) do your best and save wherever you can!


All the best with some good budgeting for the next few weeks.


Hello there 32b3 :hello:and fantastic to hear from you once again! I'm not at all surprised to hear you've still been saving, and saving well no doubt knowing you! Whenever you can make it, we'll be chuffed to see you!!
3 months to go?!! Ah, but don't forget there are some days to go alongside the moths too, thank goodness!! See you soon.


Ah well done Chutney.



Excellent work with the weight, Melody!!! :j Yes, those hormones have a lot to answer for, little blighters. :mad:

Good potting also, here's to you having a little more to add to it later!


£10 potted after the shopping was finished yesterday. That's it for the week. :j

Have a wonderful weekend folks. :j

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