Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 11

Welcome to our challenge simplelivingislandlife. Our lovely leader Sue-UU will be along soon to furnish you with your very own SPC number. In the meantime, read through the post on top of the page and start potting with gusto.

Nothing to pot at the moment but will be calling at the supermarket on the way home, so will hope for something to add to my little pot.

Have a good Thursday Potters. :j

Hi, welcome to the sealed pot challenge klbooth, Sue UU is our overlord and will allocate you a number :A
If you subscribe to this thread, you can set it to send you an email whenever someone posts, or weekly or whatever...that way you can be reminded to come back and join in the updates!

If you read the first post in the thread it has a lot of information about the challenge.
Just keep scraping up those shrapnel and bung it away - that's my advice!
:beer::money:



ETA: I still haven't swooped on the 5p. I remember it when I am at work but then when I am at home I forget.

I joined a credit union a few years ago,but as my health deteriorated,I was housebound I couldnt get to deposit my coins. And my bank closed its branch in our town so things have been difficult.Last summer I managed to get a relative to hump £30 worth of copper to a supermarket coin sorter.Which of course took 10%. The receipt got mislaid for several months,and thats when I found out the money had to be used on the same day it was sorted. I couldnt get my money back.
Anyhoo,I am delighted to find that a branch of the credit union is opening in the community centre a mere 3 minutes walk away from my home.:T:T:T
Its only open 1 hr every Tuesday morning,but that's great.I intend to take all my coins there little by little so as to reactivate the account.So in my sealed pot I will only collect £2,£1, and 50p,and the silver and copper and maybe fivers will go in the CU.But I'll keep an I.O.U note through the year to class it as part of my pot here if I may.
I am intending to use the CU as my House and Home fund,saving up to pay for whatever thing breaks down next.This year it was my microwave,iron and TV recording system that all fell to bits at once. My 8 yr old oven is making very strange sounds at times,a high pitched whine as if its on its last legs,so I need to save now for when it breaks. I have been debt free for years,and want to keep that way.
Apart from the oven I also want to save for a new living room carpet.8 years ago I got a very cheap carpet because of getting no less than 3 new grandkids in 10 months,adding to the 3 I already had. Now the mayhem years have passed (I hope!)I look forward,perhaps in another year,to a new carpet.I'm very old fashioned,I have no wish whatsoever for bare floors!So the House and Home fund needs to grow well!

Hope you soon feeling better - sending some gws vibes

Thank you for my star Sue - pleased to read you feeling a bit better atm

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.

So anyways, that's my weekly £10 in the pot

Hope you all have a super weekend
