Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 11

simplelivingislandlife wrote: »

Hello,

Can I join?? I've decided that I want to save all my change this year and I'd love to put anything other than 20p's (just joined the 20p challenge) in a pot and count it on the 1st Nov. I'm not much of a chatter but I'll update every week if not more depending on the change situation and I'm now on the hunt for "roadkill" lol!!!

Hi, I know I am a little late but would like to join in on the challenge please. With it being a sealed pot and my memory being rubbish I suspect I won't have any updates until November when I crack it open. I am setting a reminder on my calendar for 1st November though for the grand opening!

Looking to join up, I know it's a few days late but better late than never.

Hopefully 2018 will be a big saving year for me

simplelivingislandlife - You’re not compelled to natter, so long as you come on once a week that’ll be fine, apart from that, it’s always lovely to see members fairly regularly. From what you’re saying I think, like the rest of us, you’ll soon find potting to be addictive!

klbooth - it’s never too late to join SPC. It’s wonderful to hear you’ve already put the declaration date on your calendar!! :j

Many thanks for the lovely welcome, siju :staradmin, 166million :staradminand 3forholidays :staradmin, it’s always good for new members to feel so welcome ASAP. Here’s a lovely shiny gold star for you all and thank you so much indeed. BTW 166million, brilliant work with the 5p turned 20p!!!! You gave me a real giggle with what you said!!

Hi again folks! I hope you're all enjoying a great weekend!! To all those members who are ill, low or in a pickle in anyway, here's hoping you will soon be feeling so much better. For now, please accept these {{{Hugs}}} from all the SPC family! :grinheart

A very Happy New Year to you also Jaydee92! Great saving in spending and fantastic potting as a result!!! :dance:A good beginning to the new year if you ask me!

Clearly a case of seek and you will find, Littlebigmoose! Well potted!

Don’t worry seekingthesunlight, you’re forgiven for being MIA so long as you’ve been potting! Shrapnel is always good for potting, and here’s hoping you’ll be really chuffed with whatever you can pot from your loan!! :T

I couldn’t believe when reading your post just now, Saver-upper, that you are a fellar?!!!!!! All the time of reading your posts and talking to you.... I thought you were the female OH of your family!!!!!! I’m totally stunned!!! I would say get over your man flu but I’m not that cruel! One thing’s for sure, you know my ways by now!!!
BTW What a very happy and kind customer you have, and what a find!!!

Well you’ve been fortunate in the past, dustydigger, and you just never know when a little bit of luck might strike. Meanwhile keep hopeful and carry on budgeting well!

Re your latest post: I couldn’t have been more shocked to hear you had lost the money that was swapped presumably using Co!nstar because “you hadn’t spent it all on the same day”??!!!!!! :eek::eek: I’ve never heard anything like it before!!! It sounds as though you were conned for sure!
Anyway, I’m pleased to hear that CU have started up again, and whatever you’re deciding to do with it that’s fine by us!
Fingers crossed for your cooker! Our washing machine has just “gone” after making a noise like an Apache helicopter on the spin cycle since before Christmas, more expenditure! BTW Just seen your very latest post and whoooopppeeee!!!! See, you’re saving brilliantly!!!!!!

Excellent potting CavendishWobble!!!
The £122 from your old pot of money can still be included with whatever you save this year on SPC. If you do then pop the amount onto your signature so you remember to include it in November!

Sorry to hear that you’ve got problems again, Westie, I hope you’re soon feeling much better.

Forgot it was Friday until just now. Can't seem to get back into routine yet - think it's because DH is under my feet at home all the time atm except when he goes to see a friend for the occasional coffee and chat.

You’re very welcome Lynne, it’s such a help to me anyway. So, I gather your DH is still at home, though I hope he’s able to get [STRIKE]from under your feet [/STRIKE] get another job soon but just hope it’s one he’ll like! Well done with your £10!! :j

Don’t give dance lessons another thought, DancingUnicorn, go for the cheaper deal! That’s a heck of an increase they’ve jumped to, who’s running it.... British Rail???!!!! :eek::rotfl: Reading your latest post gave me such a giggle, what's his name Rothschild?!!!!! :rotfl:

Well done arc2014!!!

Try and sort a pot out without splashing out, babs 123, do your best with the nutty choccie jar, where there’s a will and all that!!!

The normal I see Chutney, perfect potting!!! :cool:

He come on now missjec! A resolution is exactly that so stay firm and stick to it!!!

£12.32 is a fantastic sum Iheart, brilliant potting!!! :dance:

Hello again skilly, it’s really lovely to see you here again! :j I’ve missed you so please come and see us more often! Well done with the potting and VERY well done with your money from 2017!!!!

Thanks for the heads up for anyone who didn’t know MrsShazbat, but to be honest I think all banks have them now which is a darned good job! Let’s hope Coin :staradmin now become redundant!!! Good savings btw!!

It’s always amazing to read posts such as yours, Whatshername, isn’t it amazing how SPC stops us in our tracks from spending cash and - saving it instead!!!!! Please pop you No on you siggy!! For instructions see the welcome notice above!

Well done MissDM!!!! Even with NSDs (no spending days) it’s still surprising to have the possibilities to be able to save!!! Keep it up!

A lovely £15 has just been tucked into my chicken pot, it has a base that unscrews to make saving notes so much easier.
