    Hi LC, good for you with such a great amount - even if it doesn't get to the £1000! I'd be happy with half that! :o

    A beautiful day here, we made the most of it and went out for a wonderful day......

    .....then came home to see we'd won £10 for 3 numbers on the lottery!!!!! That's the 2nd time in about 3 months, but we only ever buy 1 ticket a week! :j It's going in the pot for certain, same as the last tenner.

    Good luck all in doing the same!

    Hiya Sue,
    Hope you're not going to let that win change you, or go to your head lol, good for you winning though, can't remember the last time we won anything on the lotto

    :naughty: No, no, no Sparky, we've vowed that won't happen, we won't give up work either!!! :D Who knows maybe your turn next for a tenner..... or something larger!

    Well done on getting those bank charges back no wonder the beggars didn't want to pay up ........ £347.15!!!!:T Brilliant Sparky, now we know the true reason why there's a recession heading..... it's all down to YOU and all those like you!!! :rotfl:;) What a difference in your debt free dates, and all that you've achieved too! At the start we think it'll never happen, but it just goes to show - it DOES!!!

    Well done on it all Sparky, keep at it.

    Well done LMM on becoming debt-free!! And well done, Sparky on bringing your DFD forward!! Seems it's all happening in the Sealed Pot Society :D
    Well, I'm still slogging away, putting every spare coin I can find into the pot.
    What about all those fake £1 coins that are supposed to be knocking about? Hope I haven't got any stashed away in my pot:eek:

    Hi mickey, but WHY wait until next year, you'd be amazed at just how much you're addicted to putting into that pot which becomes a big part of your life.

    Why not start now and see just how much you get in between now and Dec 1st - or even until just a few days before Christmas!

    Good luck.

    Afternoon everyone,
    DW got a large money box for her birthday, so to encourage her I've put a couple of gold coins into it for her, but as yet she hasn't got the hang of it yet, she keeps asking if I've put any more in for her lol, you've got to admire her cheek though.

    oopalah, thanks for the encouragement, it's the support and help on here that has made me more determined to get DF

    Mickey mouse, I think you should join the rest of us on the challenge, even if it is only 8 or 9 weeks to opening the pot day.

    Well done huxley, it might only be coppers but at least you're saving, and thats the point isn't it?

    Sue, love the way you keep encouraging the newcomers, keep it up kid

    Surfbabe, like the name of you piggy bank
