Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 12

VickyA_2

WOW! What an incredible amount for last year! £46k rescued from frivolous spending! We should all be VERY proud of ourselves. :T:T Thank you, Sue-UU for keeping us focussed and totting up our total. You do a FAB-U-LOUS job. :heartpuls

A variety of coins potted. Last night. Bits and pieces of change - about £1.40 I think. :j

I added £3 to my pot today so now have just over £20 saved up. I’ve also transferred £50 to my online savings account as I won’t be needing to spend any of the money in my current account until next week. I get paid on Friday which I’m looking forward to but just realised that as I’m getting paid a week early it’ll be a long January. I am doing 2 overtime shifts this week though which will go into my January pay so that’s helping me feel a bit better.

I'm still no further along than the 60p yet, but I have a jar I packed up at home that had some bags of coins in and one was 10ps so that will get potted tonight so that I can start having £s not pennies in my SP :rotfl:

There's plenty of smoosh ( ) in the jar that can stay there for now and get changed to bigger coins to pot when I have enough to make it worthwhile!

I think from payday I will take out £10 in cash each week just so I actually have something physical to pot if there are leftovers as I use card for the majority of things x

Hi everyone
Again not been out so no money added. Its payday tomorrow so will be going out to pay a few bills and hopefully there will be some pennies leftover to put in.
Another miserable day here, just rain rain and more rain!!!

Wow Sue what a fabulous total for 2018. When you take care of the pennies, the pounds really do look after themselves! Congrats to everyone on some serious saving.

I've finally been able to pot a £5 note and a £2 coin. Thought I had a 50 pence piece too but can't seem to find it anywhere. Ah well it'll turn up when least expected.

Take care everyone

Wow! I can't believe the total from last year, that's amazing! I wish I'd found you all sooner.

Had a nice email saying we'd won £10 on the postcode lottery. The money will hit the account in a day or two, but I've pinched £10 out my shopping wallet and popes it into my pot. Takes me up to £86.05

Hello Sue. Could I please join this challenge? I’m curious how much I could amass for Christmas next year. Plus, I already have a moneybox!

Hello all Potters!! I hope you didn't get too wet today, DH & I did during walking our Lab. Thankfully she too hates rain so it wasn't too long a one!!

To all those members who are poorly or feeling low in any way, do take care and get well soon. For now, {{{hugs}}} from us all at SPC. :grinheart


That's exactly right, datlex, like as not so much of that money could easily have been wasted!!


You've done marvellously, apricity, good thinking ahead too!!!!


A penny is still good, NannyG, and it's 99p closer to your next pound!!


I'm definitely inclined to agree with you, CapricornLass, we did fantastically!!!

Isn't it an just, 32b3!!!!! :dance: I'm sure you're right about next year as we have a LOT of very enthusiastic potters with us now, and of course, folk like you who have been with us a long time help encourage us all.... talking of which you've saved another great sum too, brilliant work!!!! Thanks a lot for being there for me. :grinheart



Very well done, elsiepac!! It's wonderful to know you already have some cash in it!!!


WOW Dolly Rocker, you have a grand amount, so soon too!!! See you at the weekend! Re your latest post, owt is better than nowt!!!

I wondered where you'd got to, Robin, but it's so good to know you've potted yet another £10, plus more besides, excellent!!!! :j

Thanks so much, siju, I'm thrilled to bits by it, and yours is in there too!!! We'll forgive what you had to spend as the main thing is that you had a wonderful time together!! Well done saving the £2!!!!


Brilliant potting Loz, and what an amazing amount!!!!



A great idea, Lucifa!! Coppers or not going in the bucket, it all adds up!



You deserve to feel immensely proud of yourself, Whatshername! :dance: If you'd normally squander that amount of money then you did brilliantly in saving it instead!!!! :T You know you've become addicted don't you!!!


Hi Hicksy, be careful with your toddler, given things you've said in the past, be sure he doesn't get thinking it's normal to take rather than wait until he has things given! Well done with your savings!!


Excellent for your DH in passing his winnings to you, Lost, great for him in winning too!!


Ah bless you, Vicky, your words are very much appreciated, though my darling hubby helps me a great deal from declaration day on, he's a gem but loves it. :kisses3:

All things considered it's a brilliant amount!! Well done with your savings!!


Brilliant potting, Loz!! :j You're doing just great with organising your money, well done!!! With your wages why not put half or whatever aside so you have enough for January!


What great ideas you're coming up with, SSDD23!! :dance:Things aren't going to look so bad for you savings wise at all with all you've got planned!!!


All the best for tomorrow then, Nannyg! It's been a shocking day here too, and is forecast to go on with more horrible showers tomorrow here too, not so bad Thursday then Friday... more bally rain!!



Isn't it fantastic, Miss DM, but don't forget your pennies and pounds were also included in it!! :j A great amount potted and I'm sure you'll root out that 50p!!


Well done, Chutney!!



Not to worry, Choccygirl, at least you're with us now and will be part of next year's Grand Total!!

Congratulations on the £10 Postcode Lottery win, I'm really chuffed for you!!! :T
