Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 13

Candy0107

I am looking forward to this challenge - it was payday for me on the 28th, so I started early.   Like many others, I am FWH and barely going out so there isn't much chance of getting change....My card sweeps spare pennies into a separate pot so I don't actually have to do anything....Bring on the new sealed pot challenge !!

Hettyhound

There are some fab amounts coming through on here!  Visited mr marks and bought my son, sorry me, a birthday cake and also picked up 1p roadkill!  I did treat myself to a tin of special, to be hidden from the 7 year old, biscuits; I do think the decision on which to buy was swayed by the quality of the tin 🤣. Done shopping so have change to start the new challenge, I’m going to set a target of £300 for the next one to be stashed in my shiny new biscuit tin.

I am here! I am here!
I'm sorry I have been so quiet this year. I couldn't get onto the site for a few months....... then, like a lot of us, not using cash.

I am going to re-seal my 3 pots for SPC 14, but for this year, I have £397.32 to declare. Better than a poke in the eye with a hot stick 😂😂.

Thank you Sue for all your work. I promise to be more active next challenge. In fact, I already have money set aside for it that never got put in the pots in time for this challenge

I am delighted to declare £309.50. I’m especially pleased as I only rejoined near the start of lockdown. It will pay for a nice short stay in Wales - when we’re allowed!!!

Well done every one of you for your amounts saved. Huge thanks again to Sue for all your hard work and encouragement. This is a great challenge and great group of people. I’ve never seen anything close to a cross word on this challenge.

Hettyhound - Happy Birthday to you. How lucky being born on declaration day! And that penny roadkill - what a nice bonus Birthday present.
Oh well back to work... Looking forward to checking in later to see the results continue to come in.

Hi (wish I could enter the waving emoji of old school here) 

Here to declare my Sealed Pot Challenge amount....

£150.00

Not as good as years gone past, but its better then a poke in the eye with a dirty stick...

Onwards and upwards...

Hi Sue and everyone.
I'm declaring £962.54 as my total for 2020, sorry it's late. I expected to have a total this morning but I was delayed. Only a small amount is cash, the majority is cashback, incentives for opening bank accounts and compensation payments, mainly for bank errors, and one from a utility company.

Hi everyone, 

I know I'm not the most active on the board, but I have been quietly potting away when I can in the background!  My tally for this year is £146.50.  I'm quite pleased with that, considering the year we've had.

I don't use mine for Christmas, but it helps towards the holiday spending.

Good evening SPC, congrats all on your totals.
SPC Number 002 declaring: £1534.70
I'll be back tomorrow for the start of the new thread

Oooh Westie, me too, but as we NO LONGER HAVE THE MANY THINGS WE REALLY DID FIND USEFUL, imagine me holding a mini version of a certain someone by the neck and waving so sweetly 😃 😡 

It really is infuriating. I've tried hard to get the necessary things we need, the last I was offered was for ME?? 😳 (Einstein) to do it via html!!! 🤐😤

Definitely not as much as years gone by maybe Westie, but far better than nowt - or - to use your phrase - a poke in the eye with a dirty stick!! 🤗🤩 All the best for next year!! 

Hello Frogletina! You're not late at all, 29th is the closing date and 29th it is. Imagine everyone coming on at once!! 😳

Many congratulations Frogletina, fantastic savings!!!! 🤩🤗 Brilliant work all things considering. See you on SPC 14. 🤩

Don't worry CapricornLass, it's not about who saves most or how often, it's a group of 😃happy folk😃 saving as much as is possible. 

Many congratulations to you on all you saved!!!!!! 🤗🤩 I'm so pleased you're happy with it, that's what counts - and - the fact that you'll find it very handy for your holiday!! 🌞 Here's to SPC 14!

WOW jakes-mum, another amazing Total from you this year!!! 😳 Many congratulations on another brilliant amount saved!!!!! 🤩🤗🙀 I look forward to seeing you on SPC 14 tomorrow! 😜

CONGRATULATIONS POTTERS, YOU'RE DOING BRILLIANTLY!!!!!!!

Have a Super THRILLING folks! Whatever you've saved, be so very proud as saving ANY is a big achievement!!! 🤩
