Sealed Pot Challenge - The only way is UP

Today's post is on the subject of that sealed pot again...

This snippet from Disney Pixar's amazing film UP really sums up the whole sealed pot principle. It also demonstrates how difficult it is to not dip in to it.

This clip in general just about perfectly sums up the journey through life, but keep your eyes open for the pot!


If you haven't seen the whole movie, then it is definately worth a watch.

Don't worry, tomorrow's blogpost will be more vegetable growing focussed! Including some really, really exciting news too!

Have a great day!

Sealed Pot Challenge

Do you have a sealed pot?

We do....

We have two in fact, one for each of us. Amy had hers bought for a birthday present by her godmother, and I was so envious of the idea and concept that Amy bought me my own, and it looks just like the one above. It is a ceramic pot with a whole to put coins or notes in. You can't get them out unless you smash the pot so it is less tempting to take a few quid out here and there. I often empty the contents of my wallet's coin pouch in here to lessen the weight.

Thanks to the wonderful SFT, I have found out that many other bloggers have a similar sealed pot. So, a whole group of us have determined a date to smash our pots to pieces. The date set is the 3rd December. Would you like to join us?

The great thing about the 3rd December is that it is just in time for Christmas and when your nearest and dearest ask you what you want for Christmas just tell them you want a nice, fancy, new sealed pot.

We hope our savings can go towards a nice treat. Maybe towards a holiday or something we really need.

The next context clue will be revealed tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!
