Sealed Pot Challenge!!

x_raphael_xx

Well I'm ready for tomorrow, I emptied all my jars and pots today and paid all the coins into the bank. They would only accept full bags (£1 & £5 and the like) so all the left over odd bits of shrapnel will go in my temporary 'sealed' pot til xmas, when I am expecting a terrimundi from my bro!

Hi, can I join? I have a sealed tin from the Poundshop but haven't really started to use it yet.
Will aim for £100 for next Christmas. I only really pop 10's, 20's and the odd 50p in there so *should* be achievable if I sort my purse out more often.

Thanks for my number! Rather than buying a new vessel to put it in I'm being crafty, recycling and makign a statement! LOL

This week I cleared out all the old financial paperwork I had going back YEARS (ank statements, old chequebook stubs, delivery notes). I was afraid fo putting them in recycle bin because of sensitive material so instead put it all in a bucket of water and made paper mache! That paper mache is going to make me a pig to put my money in - with just a slot in it's back to put in and no way to get it out till i destory it next year - and help destory my debts!

Hi there, I'd like to join please. Have bought a cute sealed tin from the pound shop and plan to start tomorrow.

Aiming for £300 which will come from small change and proceeds from the mystery shops I do (quite infrequent).

Good luck everyone

Left it late (as always!) but looking forward to counting my change out tonight, ready for the new start tomorrow..... I'm gonna copy PaP (sorry hun, its me again:o ) and count the number of coins I put in rather than the value...

Picked up my terramundi from the sorting office today and couldn't resist being naughty!!!

I put my one £2 from the £2 savers club in it already!!!

Its so pretty though i don't think i can bare to smash it next year although it says its tradition so feeling like i have too!

Although with my aim so high i might have to get another anyway as might not hold it all!

Looking forward to tomorrow
