Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 18

VickyA_2

Sorry to hear about your husband, @LittleMissDetermined but that's great news that he's beginning to improve.  Wonderful!

Sorry for being MIA for a few weeks.  Potting has continued apace - more TopCashback has become payable and my normal payday sweep has happened. My hours changed at work when the girl/lady I was covering as a maternity cover returned part time.  Anyway, that doesn't stop me potting little bits and pieces, I just need to be a little more cautious over the next couple of months before my new job in September.

Hello Potters! I hope you all enjoy a wonderful weekend, it should be lovely.

To all those of you who are poorly or low in any way, take very great care and get well soon. Very best wishes from us all here on SPC  

Hello BeyondDirct981, you've had a lot on your schedule lately. Has the engagement, photoshoot and plans for the forthcoming wedding been for your own wedding? I know one SPC member is getting married but I honestly can't remember which one of you it is? It's the same with a graduation, but I just can't remember who it is? 

I hope you had a wonderful holiday, no doubt the weather was good for it, the same as it was for hubby and I back in June. 

If the renting is with you, I hope it's been successful for you. 

You might not have been able to save too much lately, but if you're dedicated to the cause and have recently potted, then that really is all that matters. Keep it up!

Take care.

You're so welcome LMD. I suppose when you think about it that it's far better he slowly improves, rather than it all happens hurriedly and then he slowly slips back. So, I wish him a slow and good recovery.

An excellent £78 potting now it's pay day!!

Take very great care both of you! xxx

Bless you Ant, I'm so pleased you said that to LMD, especially as T and I are going away for 4 nights next week.

It's been a busy one for you Siju, but so good that your DD and your 2 DGC were able to able to stay with you whilst having no water at their home. 

I'll bet your DGD is excited at staying with granny and granddad on her own for the first time, bless her.

Our elder 3 DGC used to love staying with T and I when they were young, I used to make up stories and tell them at bedtime and they loved it, they even used to ask me things after about the children I included. They used to tell them to mum and dad when they were home. Even our DD used to tell me I should make books to sell, but the children were nearly always with us so I'd never have had the time! 

Oh how we loved those wonderful times with them. Our elder DGS always still me now (29) that the best holidays he's ever had were when we used to take them camping in the New Forest. I always bathed them before we went driving around the NF searching for Deer, Foxes.  We used to wind the windows down and stop and listen to the Owls hooting, and the magic in all their eyes was pure bliss! 

Anyway I've rambled on for way too long as I've relived it all. Our eldest DGD takes her children..camping in the NF!

Very well done with your money potted, not always easy at times, so good going.

T and I will be away for 4 nights next week in the New Forest, so I'd be so grateful if you could keep an eye on the thread for me. Many thanks Siju!

Great memories Sue-UU, I'm hoping our DGC will experience the same when they are with us. Have a fabulous break 😊 xx

Hey @Sue-UU, I don't think I mentioned graduation but definitely was me studying, and it is my own wedding yes! Was waiting to share news in general due to my cousin also getting married just the Tuesday gone. 

Thank you for your encouragement, I'm quite stubborn so dedicating myself to a challenge like this will only help in the long term, especially with upcoming life events. 

Sending best wishes to you and your also.

@BeyondDirect981 you are so right 👏 it's the mindset of saving that's important, not necessarily the amount saved. 

It was our annual village show yesterday, it's always a great event, even though we are just a small village. DH and I volunteer to help and it gives so much pleasure to see everyone having a great time. A day of idleness today and then the madness of DGD staying from tomorrow. 

Another five pounds this week. Enjoy your week 😊

Had to take £200 out of the pot today as we booked our flights to Florida for next year! Had enough points for flights both ways so just had to pay the taxes
Will add it to my signature so it doesn't get missed on count up day

Makes the cost of something down the line a lot more manageable. Mine will be paying for a holiday as well, but I do love a holiday that’s fully paid for in a (relatively) painless way

I totally agree, I have my Mr T clubcard vouchers chaging into miles plus the good old credit card for day to day spending, we actually have enough points for another set of flights lol! Might have to use them if anything good comes up black friday for later next year!
