    Thank you MM, and no, she claims she was winding me up and it bloody worked! Apparently I was getting really paranoid over it so she decided to tell me.

    How are you? Looking forward to the 1st?

    :rotfl: I was initially swayed by your lovely post and then I read stunty's news and was convinced. Well, more a case of thinking to myself.... MISS A WEDDING? NO WAY! :rotfl:

    (I can't believe all that's happened in the space of a year here! I hope Mumzy knows what she started! :D )

    Hi All,
    I'm a newbie to MSE but have read a bit and have been waiting for the new Sealed Pot Challenge to start. I'd love to join if I can. :)
    Money has been tight recently because my employer kept underpaying me for several months on the trot... I tried to start saving £2 coins, and only ended up owing the pot back. They've sorted out my wages now so I shouldn't be counting pennies at the end of the month so badly that my Sealed pot is likely to get opened.... Its got a chance :D
    Anyway, great to be here, and yep I'd love to join in. I'll stop by on Tuesday to find out my number.
    Thanks
    Amy!

    May I join you all for next year please?

    I threw a coffee jar away today so will go and retrieve it in a bit. I fancy making a pig but don't know if I will have time before the 2nd.

    Actually, I might put it in a jar to start and use the pig when he/she is made - I've got some balloons, PVA glue and tissue paper...:think: DD will enjoy helping me, I'm sure!

    I will save anything less than a pound, I think (I'll see how it goes), but have no idea what the total might be - do I have to guess?

    Can I join the next challenge too please?

    I've no idea how much I'll save as I usually use my card when paying - I have some sort of tally on where my money went that way - and I also save 2€ pieces separately for my treat fund.

    Cheers,
