Sealed Pot Challenge!!

katyk_2

Hi Just found this one and would love to join if I can. I found my tin in poundland for, funnily enough, £1 and it is basically like a very large food tin with the slot on top which you can only open with a tin opener. thus you will only be able to open it once so I cannot keep pinching bus fares etc out of it. Have no idea how much it will hold as 10p, 20p, 50p and £1 coins will all go in. (Must admit there will be more 10ps than £1s) Also have a small teddy bank which holds coppers and a big bottle for 5ps so idea is when they fill I will bag and convert that into £1 coins and add those to the big tin. Already have £6 of coppers all bagged and ready to make some poor bank tellers day.
I presume this is similar to others on here but have not had time to read back properly. (too many pages!)
Hope i can go on the list
Thanks
Katyk

To the folk who are new to the thread, its dead easy, grab something you think will hold loads of change (most people are using these terramuni thingys, i've got a big whiskey bottle and phil the pigs around here somewhere....) and you don't open/smash/empty it till 1st Dec 2008.... there you go, thread condensed! lol, although i DO recommend a look at Phil the Pig. He's great!

I would like to take part in this challenge. Sad thing is though, when I went into Poundland to get the recommended sealed tin I could'nt bring myself to pay out a pound to buy one! I definitely will next week but in the meantime I'm using a jar.

I bought my sealed tin from pound land (Harry Potter one - very cool!) last Thursday and have been slotting all mu lose change in there and will be putting all the money I make from umpiring netball matches into the pot too.

Love this challenge.

This, from the person who sounds like he's 7 foot tall, built like a sherman tank and with empty pockets, as per the following two classic quotes:

"Aye, but trust me when i say that i'm too big and clumsy to ever make one!"

"I have empty pockets cause all my shrapnel has gone into my jar, its a little sad looking, but it'll grow....."

:T Round of applause for the unknownstuntman and, as a special treat, here he is, especially for you.... Phil the Pig LOL

Haven't been out today so no chance of any fresh change for the pot.

But, DH 'lost' 3 pieces of a brand new jigsaw someone gave him to drop off at the charity shop and which he couldn't resist completing first:rolleyes: . By helping him rummage down the chair and sofa I managed to 'find' £1.35 (just shows how thoroughly I do my housework ) and it's now added to my pot. Still haven't found the jigsaw pieces though:eek:

Many congrats to Mumsyof 2 (soon to me mumsyof3) and mr. Mumsyof2

Great news just before xmas and a fantastic inspiration for you.

Have sealed my biscuit tin with parcel tape. Works much better than the pickle jar which I kept pearing into as it was see-through :rotfl:
