Sealed Pot Challenge!!

fedupandskint

I would like to join in the next year and save 10p, 50p and £1 in a sealed pot - just off the find something suitable. The £2, 20pm 5p, 2p and 1p have just started to go into other money boxes bought off ebay (not too surprisingly for someone in debt I no longer had any!)

Aiming for £200 in a sealed pot for Christmas pressie and food fund for next year.

PHIL THE PIG contained £81.97 in small change

Didn't quite make it to my £100 but I very seldom use cash and don't usually have any lying about the house.

This year's, as per every other year, will be going on gifts for family at Christmas and my 2009 savings shall start from today, with a target figure of £50 for 2009, as I'll be using even less cash now that I don't live anywhere near a shop.

Cash in tin - £361 (not sure how I got the odd pound - as I have been saving £2 coins)
Tesco clubcard vouchers £69 (just shoved them in the tin when they arrive!)
Top Shop vouchers via Pigsback 3 X £10 (posted in tin as soon as they arrived )
