Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 16

sams247

Well I have been awol, but thats because my money has been on existent.  But now I have had the joy that is pay day, so £1 in my little pot today.   

MrMrsR

Thank you @Sue-UU my children have the metro bank accounts so the counting machine is free to pay into their accounts and then withdraw. They also get a lollipop, monthly small toy type treat & bonus money if they pay in 5 months in row.
Good bank for the children, they're not very competitive on interest rates etc if you have savings but I think it's the trade off for long opening hours and uk only staff.

£3 in the pot today change from an after school activity; I usually transfer by bank termly and dont see the real money go out but figured weekly I'll get the coins for pot that i wouldnt usually see. I'm trying to use cash more and not tap to pay indiscriminately. It makes me a lot more careful so far and there are less cash tills so its more effort. Xx

I think Im coming to this rather late, but I would like to follow along and join if thats ok?

I'll start a sealed pot.

 Im also doing the 365 1p challenge, but that one is virtual, so I will pop in 'real' hard cash, well more like pennies I suspect, but it will all add up!

Thank you

I had no idea the 365  1p a day was virtual ~FlowerPot~, I'm really pleased you're saving good hard cash!! Brilliant work. 

Ah, I see what you mean, RavenRover, very wise for sure! 😃

Hi Ant, I was completely shocked when looking via an app on my  phone that my post was alredy on the thread!!!! 😯 Every time I looked via my laptop, the post was still there - ready to send and certainly didn't show up on the thread! 😯 Not even the next day!!!! Yet, just had a quick look to see if anyone had posted here on the app last night, and there was MY POST!!! 😯😯 I'd love to know what's going on with MSE at such times as those, why is it only me?!

Anyway I'll definitely know what to do in future. Great news with the £4 potted!  Thanks s lot for ~FlowerPot's~ lovely welcome 😃

Have a look at Ant's post from me above, James, as where I'm concerned MSE's gone bonkers!! 🙄

Good words to madlyn! 😂

Thanks also for ~FlowerPot~'s welcome.

Oh brilliant sams!! At last being pay day, you've potted a £1!!! It mightn't sound a lot but it's s darned sight better than nowt!! 😄

Oh thank goodness for the news in your latest post, MrMrsR!! I can't bare thoughts of folk paying these machines who charge so much. 😄 Well done your children for saving their own money, it's excellent encouragement for when they grow up, especially with the way things are going!!

Well done with the way you save too!

It's ok folks, contrary to MSE's thoughts, I'm not mad, but all that's on this post was supposed to be on the one above, and even though I battled with it for a couple of hours last night, it wouldn't play ball!! FINGERS CROSSED

Have a smashing weekend everyone!

Sue

Such a frinedly board, thank you everyone for the welcome.

I have added £2.20 to my pot to kick me off. The pot is not ideal, I need to find a sealable one!!! Im on the lookout for one. SOmething I dont have to actually purchase!

 

#34  £2.20

The 365 1p challenge is hard cash, virtual or a mixture, I started with the intent of using up pennies and coins laying around, but very quickly realised I dont use cash that much! So its virtual and now I am going to use all spare coine for this challenge and I am trying to use cash a bit more , for a number of reasons, but 1 is for this challenge

# 34   £4.06 in the pot today

Tried and failed to post the other day, for which I apologise.  I was thinking of all of you who were going through the downs of life and may your days be filled with "ups".

Potting-wise, I've had payday which means last month's excess has been divvied up between my pot and then holiday and house savings.  However, I had a bit of a bonanza with TopCashback... £114 suddenly all became payable!  The majority of this was from my summer holiday in Canada when I booked accommodation through the cashback site.  I thought at one point they were going to reject the cashback, but NO! It was swept immediately into my pot before I could contemplate doing anything else with it!

Have a good week everyone.

Everyone here is doing so well!
It all adds up, doesn't it?

A £10 note potted just now.
