My sealed pot challenge...

This year I joined SFT and about 56 others from around the world in her sealed pot challenge. You seal a pot and fill it with change over the year and open it on the 3rd December. Heres how I made my pretty pot last year :) We chose not to put ALL our money in it since we use change for milk and little things and didn't want to increase our outgoings but we did put all our small change in and a few pounds and fivers towards the end :)

So on the 4th of Dec, with the rain battering against the window, I sat cosy by the fire counting. Lovely way to spend an hour or so on a rainy cold day :)




So the grand total is....drum roll.... £52 and €25! We were pretty happy with that and it will go towards extra special food and treats over christmas time :) 

If you didn't join in last year I highly recommend it, it's fun being part of a global saving scheme and seeing how everyone did and what they're going to spend it on. Just head over to Saving For Travel's blog and tell her you want in - simple!

    Hi Astra!

    That's a great amount towards some special Christmas treats.

    And to think that you didn't impact on your spending in any way makes your challenge a huge success!

    I do hope you will join up for 2013 I've had an even better response than last year!

    I've just blogged my first SEALED POT SUNDAY POST!

    Hope you and little bubs are well (and A. of course)
