Sealed Pot Challenge!!

oopalah

Hi all, Not been on here for a week or so, what with all the Christmas shenanigans. Hope you all had a great time. I shall be here a lot now, trying to avoid the sales!

Me thinks that this is a fabby idea. I already save in a large whisky bottle and if I seal it the kids will think that I have gone even more loopy - they can see it on the kitchen worktop and we sometimes dip into it for school change etc... ( although I am trying to get more organized by cashing change weekly and keeping it in a small jar!!)

I am not going to tell them but when the jar is quite full (like now) I am going to count it and get it changed into £1 coins and then chuck them into a sealed jar and hopefully forget the amounts and have a nice surprise!!

I am becoming addicted to saving!

The papermache army can always do with more recruits...... if you're feeling adventurous on the sealed pot front...

Tip of the day: rattle your papier mache animal at the next relative who passes and they almost always feel obliged to drop in a penny or ten. One is never too old to harass one's offspring with a large pink pig!

Oooooo, nice thought! I found 65p in change in work today. (I work outdoors so find plenty of pennies etc!)

Love your piggybank skippycat! So cute
Hi everyone, not getting much chance to post with everyone home for the xmas holidays but hope you all had a lovely xmas. I've now transfered all my coins to cheap cheap (no counting went on, honestly!) :A& am going to have a good look for any change hanging around the house on monday & pop it in before the £4000 challenge starts!
Glad you are feeling a bit better now mumzy :j

I've looked down the list and I haven't joined this challenge so can you add me. My dd is buying me a terramundi pot so I can save £1 and £2 coins and I already have a big babycham bottle for loose change. I also have a box at work which I add change too although it's not sealed......yet.

This will help with the Christmas for free in 2008 challenge which I've also joined.

Thanks
