Hi guys, serial lurker #239 here. I've got 2 pots on the go - a terramundi which is for silver only which I started in March, and a not-so-sealed pig which has been going since the start of this year's challenge. On 1/12/08 I weighed the terramundi and it was just under 2.4 kilos (5lb 4). I've just weighed it again (having put in today's £2.35) and it's now at 2.75 kilos (6lb 2)! It's amazing to think in just 2 months I've managed to gain almost a pound(lol) in loose change. I've also totted up some of the stuff in the pig - have £43 in coin bags ready to go into savings account when I'm next in town (not that it's going to get much interest lol!)Chipping away at the mortgage...2013:£419k @ 3.14%
2016:£385k @ 1.79%
2019:£275k @ 1.84%

Welcome JonnySniper,
Good to have another member on Sealed Pot Chalenge . Don't know if you you're aware of this, but the machines at Asda & other supermarkets take 8% :eek: of your money just for the privilige of counting your money for you. Better off bagging it up and taking it to the bank only 5 bags max in most places, but at least you get to keep all your money
Also hello to all Sealed pot gang members, hope you're all OK today, make sure you get wrapped up well over the next couple of days it's goin to be bl**dy cold :rolleyes:Sparky0107 - Sealed pot challenge member #002.

A nice shiny £2 coin has gone in my pot today. :j
Off out to bingo tonight - I know, I know but its my one night out per month and I have a limit on what I take - so fingers crossed for a win!!
Was snowing here - blizzard like - for about 5 minutes but now nothing!! Please let it be really bad tonight so that school is closed tomorrow and I don't have to go to work and can play in the snow with my little boy instead!!!! :T :T Sorry for everyone who doesn't like snow0 -
I've put some in today, can't remember how much over £1 though. Going to have to check out the 20p's on ebay, would love squillions!!Fashion on a ration 0 of 660

:eek: - just seen that undated 2008 20p coins are making big bucks on Ebay!
I have a dilemma now - I have saved every single 20p coin I have received in change in my sealed tin since just before Christmas - I must have stacks of them in my tin. Do I open the tin in the offchance I have one in there or do I wait until its full before emptying it?
Anyone know how rare these coins are???Sealed Pot Challenge 2010 - member 4020
