(or make one,maybe out of an old jar on tin etc,but make sure you tape it so you aren't tempted to raid it),and fill it with any loose change/notes that you have saved,eg by deciding not to have that coffee and cake when you are out/money leftover at the end of the month/money saved while shopping,extra overtime money,roadkill,etc.The challenge has been going for 11 years.We open our pots in early November.Alot of people use the challenge to help with the cost of Christmas.Others save for holidays,weddings,etc.I have been saving it all (4 years worth) as a sort of emergency fund.And the best part is you hardly miss the money as you pot,but by the end of a year,you realise how much it all adds up.

Today I tidied,dusted,swept our bedroom (mine and partner).He is a hoarder,and has already filled a garage and 2 sheds,and alot of his parent's house,with his hoard.I have to work to stop it creeping into the rest of the house,especially our bedroom.
As part of this,there is an otterman at the end of the bed that I bought a few years ago for my partner to hide some of his mess.He never uses it,but it is still full of stuff :rotfl:.When I was going through it today,I found stuff as random as out -of -date medicinal creams,packets of electrical tape,a jar of peanut butter (:eek:),pairs of socks ,a couple of jumpers,bicycle gloves,plasters,cable ties,fathers day cards (that I had put there a few years ago)........
From sorting it today,I got out of the house:
1142-1143:2 dried out packets of wet wipes
1144:out of date,opened tube of Savlon
1145-1146:2 boxes of prophylactics ,which had an expiry date of 2009 :eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:




I then made a pile of my random finds for partner to put away in his mancave.So his bicycle gloves,tyre gauge and cable ties will never be found again.:rotfl::rotfl:
