Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 12

Saving_Glut

Wanted to avoid paying the 60p car parking fee during the weekend, but decided in the snowy weather that it was safer to park closer to the high street. As I walked to the ticket machine I found £1 roadkill. The SPC gods were looking out for me!

Added this plus £3 to my little pot.

Have a great day everyone xx

Happy Monday everyone!


Potted another quid and some silvers into the pot last night. We had some wonderful news! Hubby has been offered a 5-month contract in an IT firm, which is a big step up from his 16h retail job! Our friend, who works in the firm, was so helpful from start to finish. His boss is giving him a referral bonus, which he has kindly offered to split between himself and hubby He won't start until March but things will definitely be a bit less tight for the next few months!

Trying to post more frequently to keep me on the straight and narrow...

Potted £4.31 yesterday which was leftover from weekly shopping budget. Moved £13.19 into dedicated savings from cashback website. Monthly interest due on account - 24p last month but it all helps! Fingers crossed for 30+ pence this month! :rotfl:

Thanks lovely Potters for your kind words and hugs, they are much appreciated.

Ooh, Jakesmum that's fantastic for you all, such a relief

Such fabulous news Dreamworlded, you and your DH must be over the moon :j

I haven't been spending much lately but on checking my purse, I find I have £2.44 to pop in the pot. Have a lovely Monday Potters. xx

Well funny you should say that, I just [STRIKE]forced[/STRIKE] convinced Miss Lily to swap up 2 that she got in a birthday card from her party today

WHO has been getting my £2 coins again??? I really think this needs to be added to the first page that all £2 coins are MINE! :rotfl:

You devil jakes-mum! :mad: I bet you held Lily's tea to ransom so she gave you those £2s - and on her birthday too!!! :eek: :rotfl:No, I'm not putting a new rule on my first post! BTW, guess what I've just potted ... another £2!!!!! :rotfl: :j



Excellent news, Robin, of the £2 coins also!!! :dance:Don't worry, she's had more than her share and will be scouring the streets for more!



Very well done, MrsShazbat!! How about putting a small pot by the hob so DH can pop it in there? Although, he'd probably push it aside and still put it in the grease!! :rotfl:What is it they say about being grateful for small mercies!!



Brilliant work, Whatshername!!! A really nice amount saved!!



All the very best with what we all call a budget, datlex!! ;)I know you're very conscious of your finances so no doubt it'll work out well.


Well done Iheart, we can't always be spending now can we! Don't worry, me either.



Wow lucky you, weenapoops! No you hadn't told us, not that we'd expect anyone to. How fortunate, though like all things in life I suppose there are the goods v the bads of it. You obviously love it which is brilliant but do make sure you keep warm at the bitter times!!!!


I love the fact that you've made your own carpet cleaner, so much better than the bought stuff with all the chemicals! Well done you, though I'll need to have a go at it too! Please let us know good it is.
Excellent work with the potted cash, good old hubby too!!!! :j


That's the only problem with our treasures when there are parties, eh Hettyhound especially when there are twins!!! �� Well done with what you've saved, not bad at all when you've had that extra expense!
Sweet Peas are my absolute favourites too. I expect you already know that the more you pick them the more blooms grow. We've had Wintersweet blooming, an ordinary shrub but with a fantastic scent, blissful!! Same with our Christmas Box, a heavenly scent!! ��
Very well saved, Moneybutterfly!!


You're saving pretty well, Homegrown, so your pot's bound to be ... putting weight on!!! ��

A very wise decision in more ways than one, Saving Glut, fantastic!!!! :dance:


Brilliant potting, Pmo2!!! It's amazing how much we're able to chuck in!!!!


What splendid news, Dreamworlded!!!!! :j:j:jI'm so very chuffed for you both, what a difference it'll make!!! How kind too with the referral split, excellent news I'm really excited for you both!!! Great potting too!


It'll be good to see you more regularly, browneyed-girl, more motivational for you too no doubt!! Things are going wonderfully too, so well done!!!



Great work, siju!! Thoughts are still being sent your way, all the best with everything right now as well as the immediate future.



A very nice debt to have been returned to you, Deni! Good work in potting it!!!

Have a good Monday, Tuesday also, SPCers! Keep potting everyone, iso long asyou're able!!

Sue

Potting feels slow but I have swept £5.15 into my Christmas pot using the Starling round up function over the past week.

Morning all, potted £2 yesterday as I took a friend's child to an activity with my DD so she gave me the coins and straight in the pot! Also £3 from a Facebook sale.

Onwards and upwards, have a great potting week all!
