Hi all,

Just wondering if I can join as well? I want to open my pot on Dec 1 so I can buy Xmas presents? Are people putting vouchers in there as well?

I tried to go through some of the posts but this thread is massive!

Hello clearmydebts.
Welcome to the madness that is sealed pot challenge mumzy will be along to give you a member number, you have to have it tattooed onto your arm, so you can be identified (only kidding lol). There are also some very interesting virtual parties on here most Saturday nights, so get your (virtual) glad rags ready for a knees up (told you we were mad).

You can put anything you want into your "pot", there are no rules on here, so once again welcome

Great! Sounds like my kind of group! I'm going in search of all my change and will find a pot! Thanks for replying so quickly.

Hiya stunty,
How the devil are you young sir? Missed a couple of days, the south of the city should be called the windy city at the mo, there's garden furniture and umbrellas flying around like a mini tornado. The bike is coming out of the shed this week I'm determined to start cycling to work, fed up putting over £50 worth of petrol in the car, when work is only a 15 minute cycle ride away.

Also just like to say hello to all the ladies and the newcomers, who've joined the madness lol

It's certainly a bit wild and woolly round the docks I tell you! :rotfl: I know what you mean about the bike, I've got a little Fiesta and I'm thinking of biking it to work instead. It always helps with the fitness too.
Had a great evening the other night with Blondie and my meddling matchmaking mate and his wife. lol. Found some interesting stuff out too. And have one of those epiphany thingies. Realised as blondie and i were clearing away after my mate had gone that, yeah, it's ok this relationship stuff. But only with Blondie of course!

Welcome to all the newbies, and hello to the ladies on here already, are we all ok? I found a whole 40p on the ground yesterday all clustered together. Heh. All mine now!

Hi pandora, It's the 1st December. Can't believe we're halfway through this challenge already. Only 5p in the pot today but every little helps.

Well, I located my Piggy Bank and it really is sealed. Can't find the key! I estimate there is about £3 in it so it's a start. Hopefully I can find they key as I'd like to know my progress each month!

I hope to put every bit of change into it and would like to have saved £170 by Dec 1 so I can buy the Nintendo Wii for myself and OH for Xmas. That will be our Xmas present to each other and this is progress as last year I would have just bought one on the credit card. We have both wanted one since Dec '07 so it is restrained for us.

Would also like to have about £60 - 70 in vouchers towards Xmas presents!

I am delighted to be part of this thread and look forward to seeing how everyone else is getting on!
