I'd thought of getting one of those coke bottles for coins @MrsShazbatbut the truth is, it'd be too heavy to lift (I struggle to carry those Poundland tins when they're half full). They look good when they're filled up though, I've seen a few Tik Tok videos of people cashing in their coins which I find motivating my proxy 😁. I hope your husband's surgery went well.

Glad to see you joining us @shell16! It's such a great challenge.

I received some tips from @LittleMissDetermined with managing the sealed pot challenge and so I'll definitely be counting it in my total @Sue-UU. I've potted £18.15 as part of this challenge today.

The first bottle we had, it got to about three quarters full and I had to cut the top off as there was no way I could lift it to empty it!  And even then I had to lay it on the floor and let the money pour out!

Thank you, yes it went well and he was home just after 1pm.  Very delicate as he has a medical support on and being a few pounds over his ideal weight, it's a bit *too* small, but in himself he's OK xx

Whoops! So sorry Shell, I've no idea what made me put 25 on, you're right though, it's most certainly 049! 🙄

Very well done however much it was, gonnabedebtfree, it's money saved and that's all that matters! Well done. 

Oh very well done, basketcase, that's never happened to hubby and I before! 

Thanks so much for the recommendation to Shell, Keedie, I quite agree with you. 😁 Well done on such great savings!!

Have a lovely Tuesday, folks!!! Pot well

Sue

Morning all,

Sue, not sure if I mentioned on the wrong thread the other day, but I’d like to take part again this year, my number last year was 003.

I have an empty Roses container that I will use for this year’s challenge, and I have made my first contributions.  

Take care all.

Evening all. I've put some coins on the side for when I buy my new tin.

Made some bonfire toffee this afternoon to take to work. Looks a little chewy but I wanted brittle toffee, Think I should have boiled it longer, nevertheless I'll tell my workmates I wanted chewy toffee!

It was quite a scary experience actually, as the sugar syrup concoction started to bubble up the side of the pot, I kept thinking, I do not want any of that on me!

Have a nice evening folks, cyas later

I’ve potted £2 which was the change from our haircuts last night.  I’m missing the next appointment and just getting the boy’s trimmed, it’s getting expensive even for a dry trim ☹️

Hello Potters,
The legend that is @Sue-UU is having trouble posting on this thread. 

She’s asked me to try and post something on her behalf. I will try, but please bear with me!
