Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 13

Hettyhound

Morning fellow potters ❤️ Number 120 declaring £214.98! 🥳 I cannot thank Sue, her very kind fellow helpers and all you potters enough for the support on this board.  It’s been a strange old time and the chat here has provided some relief from the outside world and something to look forward too.  My original target was £200 so I am really pleased.  My pot has already bought my son a secondhand bike for Christmas so the remainder should see us right for the rest.  Well as today is my birthday 🎂 and I’ve taken a day off, I’m going to see Mr Marks and his pal to sort me out with cake; any change will of course be going straight into SPC 14 😉

#11 reporting a grand total of £1608.00

Made up of:  £1150 sealed jar

                     £300 High street vouchers
                     £120 woollies supermarket savings
                     £38 Coles supermarket savings

I’m more than happy with that considering what a year it has been for us all, off to put a coin in the jar to start the next one

Thanks again for letting me join so late! I forgot how much better it is when declaration day is part of the community, not just me sat on my own celebrating my own 'pottyness' 

So, not as good as the last 3 years, however still pleasantly surprised. Total are (I save in several pots £2coins, £1coins, 50ps and then all other change. I have a teeny one for notes as these are very rare & this year am counting top cashback as I shopped.online much more due to Covid):
£2 pot: £68, £1 pot: £102, 50p pot: £47.50, change pot: £33.47, notes: £15, TCB: £102.76
So grand total for #094 is:
£368.73!

Slightly disappointed as I know i normally do so much better, but equally pleasantly surprised as with covid I haven't spent any cash & not been in shops to get it. (though I have had family offering me their change at times, which was incredibly helpful!). I'd say most of the change was spent in the January sales - pre-covid, where i usually do a lot of my birthday shopping for the following year!

Thanks again. Please sign me back up for next year! Already potted this morning in the new tub, so will assume on the new thread! Thanks everyone! (Can you tell im a waffler?!

Hi Frostie, please don't think you haven't saved much as even £178.18 is still a great amount to have at this time of year, especially given the year we've all had!! So pleased don't be disappointed as it's a lot to be proud of, truly! Some folk don't or can't save at all, so be proud of yourself please!! 😃 Congratulations to you!!!! 🤗 🥳

Shielding is no fun at all, I know as I've had to do the same. 

See the 1st post on page 1 as there are now different ways to save if that's handy to you.

You're among many, Hanert, even I have had to shield. Your Total is nothing like non existent, so congratulations to you!!! 😃🤗  Please be proud of yourself. 🥳

BTW, there are now NO COLOURS OR FONT SIZES due to the wisdom of the powers that be at MSE TOWERS!! I've pleaded for help with this issue but they can't or won't budge! 😡

Very well done indeed, Livingintheblack!!! 🤗😂 It's still money saved that might otherwise have been wasted, be proud! 😃 You're all in for next year unless anyone says different.

I'm so delighted you're really pleased with what you saved, Makethedayscount!!!! 🥳🤩 If we don't get much, we're unable to save much, but at least you have saved so be so chuffed and have a marvellous day wherever you go! 😛 Congratulations!!!!

Morning Potters  Hope you are all in good spirits on this declaration day!  Not the best total I've ever had, but not too bad considering the circumstances, I am declaring £282.06 this year.  Enough for a nice meal out with the family when we are allowed, I think.  Looking forward to SPC 14 - bring it on...............see you on the other side folks

Oops, forgot to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY Hettyhound, I hope you have a fantastic day
