Morning all!
My sealed pot total for 2022 is £2611.08 but there are some reasons for the high amount. It includes almost £700 of penny challenge money and there's also a lot of Christmas and birthday money in there because I didn't know what I wanted.
Good luck everyone! I'm excited to see everyone's totals

Truly delighted with that! £157 is reserved for a subscription, but the rest is for Christmas and then a holiday next year.
Congratulations to all those declaring - no mean feat in the current climate.

Morning all, such fantastic declarations!
#79 declaring at £203.94. I'm so proud of this figure as this is savings for less than a year at a time when I have been so financially stretched it's crazy. I was hoping for £70 so I really blew that out the water 😂. I've got a new tin ready for next year.
Hope your appointment goes well @Sue-UU. x

Wow Keedie! Fantastic savings!!!! 👏👏 I'm so thrilled you're so pleased with your savings especially given how long you've been with us. You've done remarkably well and you should be so very proud of yourself!!!The appointment was a flop! Apparently, the nurse rang the surgery this morning to say she was sick, as has happened many times before! Why couldn't they have rung to let us know! Now it's not until November 9th by phone!! Ah we'll see. 😠Hello Deleted_User! Excellent potting!!!! 👏👏 You've done brilliantly and to think it's gone towards debt is fantastic!! The sooner the debt is gone the better. 🤩It's DECLARATION DAY folks.

Hi Sue, Hi all!I'm just back from shopping, The receipt I got from their coin machine at the bank said my total came to.....#78 declaring: £78.25Vast majority being 5ps and coopers, not sure where the £1 came from, but I let it fall into the coin counter anyway. A lot of set backs this year but I'm getting a bigger tin for next time, probably one for notes & one for coins.Eon Next said they would refund me £110, it's too late to add it to this years total but when it does get refunded, I'm going to lift the amount and put it into next years tin/tins.I might do something different for next years tins, holidaying is a no no due to Mum being unwell & needing care.I might need a new computer, the one I have struggles with playing movies and games. Who knows, early days, I'll decide laterWell done to everyone, some awesome totals!@SueUU - sorry to hear you appointment with the nurse didn't take place, I hope you will be okay and that you are looking forward to starting Challenge 16.
Take care all
James

Time will tell, for now take care of yourself and of course your mum.The appointment is now going to be on the 9th November.Take care James xxWOW!! that's excellent saving, SummerDays!!!!!!! 👏👏 I realise you've not been here, but you've certainly made a brilliant job of keeping yourself motivated, great work.
