Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 14

LivingInTheBlack

😂😂😂 to 49 pence!! Well done anyway. Tooth fairy is just another painful thing we have forced on ourselves to remember, but i did love seeing my sons face when he found the money.

£7.10 potted by plum today. Gonna take over last years sum by end of the year at this rate 😁

Sorry to hear of your tooth problems Sue-UU, the dentist is never pleasant but having to go again so soon is a double whammy.  Makes my toes curl   
Love the 49p story  I remember those days scrabbling around for some change in the middle of the night........
Well, Wales is released as England locks down but nothing in the Siju household has changed.  Still working from home, still buying locally and still not going out unless necessary.  It's become the new norm and I'm not in a rush to change things.  It would be nice to see the family but we are back to the situation where you have to choose one other household.  Therefore, we've decided to stay at home and not see anyone!  As our Welsh leaders keep saying, ask not what can I do, but what should I do?
Anyway, in potting news, I have £8.16 to pot this week.  Have a lovely week Potters and stay safe.

I would like to join this challenge please. May I set a target of £500. I like the idea of a cash injection just before Christmas! Hopefully anyway!

You'll find your No on the 2nd Post of Page 1, and please read through the 1st post as it'll let you know exactly how to save with the challenge, tips of  saving too.

A very Good Afternoon SPCers! I hope you all have a really great day, evening too.  

 TAKE CARE & STAY HEALTHY EVERYONE!!

For all those of you who are either poorly or feeling low or miserable in any way, our very best wishes that you'll soon be feeling very much better.   

That's rotten that you're unable to have a signature surely, YoungandFrugal, that's something that helps us all to stay motivated with all that we put in there! 

I had a heck of a job to get to mine yesterday, so do keep trying! Leave it with me and I'll see what can be done as I can't believe it. 😐 Go to your profile pic, click and got to Edit Profile, on the left side you should see Signature Settings, hopefully all will be well.

😂 Well, at least you'll never need to worry about that problem cropping up again, Hetty unless he picks it up first. 😂🤣😂

I think you've made the right decision with your prolific gains!! 

Won't it be amazing if the vaccine works out for us all to have, Ant!!!! 🥰 

You need to be careful about picking up the money left by others, you'll be dreaming about having done so soon! Bottle caps???! 😂

 Very well saved Livingintheblack! ☺️

Thanks so very much for your very kind words, CapricornLass, but sadly, the gums are taking their time and meanwhile 2 more teeth will be saying tata to the mouth!! 😱

Is the Bank  a better way for you to save? This year it's a case of anything goes as the 1st page tells you.

😂😂 You really made me giggle with your little boy and the story of the tooth fairy short-changing him. 😂😂 Brilliant.

Ruth??!!!! 😱 It's just wonderful to see you again, why don't you come on back and join us?!! It would be lovely to have you with us once more. How's your little dog and everything in your life?!

Have a WONDERFUL TUESDAY folks and enjoy yourselves

NB folks: Opening date for SPC 14 is 28th October 2021.

Anyone wishing to join us, it's NEVER too late! So please just ask and you will be made very welcome.

I've not really been keeping tabs on how much I've been saving but I have put some virtual spare change aside the last week. Any money saved in multibuys/ c**b c*rd etc i've been squirrelling away. I was happy to buy the items anyway so may as well pot what I've saved as I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise

Hi,
Please can I join? 

I need to start sorting my money out & this is a good place to start! 

Thank you!

Welcome Pinkwhisk our leader SueUU will be along soon and allocate you your number for life, now you're in there's no escaping   

Cobweb18

Thank you for allocating me a number Sue-UU.

Thought I would get a sealed tin online, it has just arrived.... it is two inches by three! Not going to hold a lot! Think I will just decorate an empty food conatiner instead and see if I can pass the mini money box on as a Christmas present to a very small child!

Found 16 pence in the self service change dispenser in the supermarket, hope taking that wasn't stealing - am just so keen to get going!

AntoMac

Welcome Pinkwhisk - It’s definitely a good way to help you get better with your money, and for me it helps me to sometimes think about unnecessary spending. We all save for slightly different reasons but the main thing is everyone is supportive. I’m sure you’ve seen the rules on page 1. Good luck with your saving

Hi Pinkwhisk - you're already on the membership list from last year!!  I was just about to take you off, as the 2 weeks I wait for members to return is up today!! 😱 So, just in time, anyway you're SPC No is 079, and remember that 2 weeks applies next year too! Keep regularly coming to the thread as it'll keep you motivated. 🤩 Please could you pop your No on your siggy for me?! Thanks a lot. !!!!

It's making my toes curl a bit too, siju! 😂 I'm so sorry to have missed you last time, your post was nowhere to be seen, and that happens far too much since this new format!! 😡

Unless folk are young or risky I think a lot of people are like-minded re Covid. What's the point of chancing it!!

An excellent amount of potting done. Have a good weekend, I was going to say lovely, but with the weather as forecasted, I'll stick to have...a good one! 😉

Anything that's saved, be it coupons, special offers or whatever, Delta13, it's money you get to pot!! Be chuffed with it!!

Many thanks mummytummy, but Pinkwhisk is already a member. 🙃

You're very welcome, cobweb18. 🤩 Oh dear what a stupid size, but as you say, it'll do for a little one! 😉 A food container will do nicely.

You're ok with the money from the self service dispenser, it's not the first time our members have done so, after all, it was what a customer left behind!  😍 You're up and away with saving now!!

Hi Ant, it's ok as Pinkwhisk is already a member, but thanks anyway.

Another £20 potted in the UU pot!!! 🥰

Have a WONDERFUL FRIDAY folks, enjoy yourselves saving
