Good morning everyone :hello:

Thanks for the new thread, Sue. After our amazing total for SPC8, please could you put me (and DH!) down for a target of £1000.

20p potted... £999.80 to go

Hope78 · 6 November 2015 at 8:15AM

Hi folks! I'm on for 2016 target £500. Still to count up SPC8 as had few late nights at work but racing home tonight to count up!

Good luck everyone

Morning,
just realised that I actually saved quite a bit more than I declared last night as precious £2 are saved into a terramundi pot which I shall smash (turn upside down to get them out!) only when it's full. I didn't count them in just wondering if I should this year although it might not get emptied??

Nothing to pot yet as I'm still in my pj's!

Merry,

My £2 is still going and I didnt declare them either, I notice from your signature you are very close to your house deposit total, thats very exciting, its lovely when you get so close to a target,

good luck for SPC'#9 this year :0)

Hello:D
Have come over from the elite thread after some posts about this one. A sealed pot sounds a brilliant idea, so please may I join?

Welcome Naebbirac,

Please read the top of this page for all the information you will need, including the opening date for next year (the day everyone gets excited for)

Our leader Sue will pop past at some point and allocate you a number to add to your signature. I see that you havent got a signature at the moment are you able to add one, or do you require some assistance?

Also do you know how to subscribe to this thread as it makes it a lot easier to keep tabs on and to find again when you want to update your total, this is done by clicking the thread tools at the top of the thread and clicking subscribe, you will then see this thread in your quick links top right of the page...

Welcome to the mad house :0)

Good morning Sue-uu & all other "pot-ters" -in again for another year and starting my pot with £12.19 which are the coins I couldn't bag for the bank. £505 ready to bank from last years pot which I will be using to buy Premium Bonds.
(£50 won this year):j

Have a great year everyone.

If it is possible to set a target this year then please could you make mine £600. Thanks

Sue,

Just reading the first post and there are a few amendments/additional information to tell you about

The idea is to save as much as possible throughout the following year until just before Christmas - which this year will be to open our pots on Thursday the 5th November 2014.

this should say 2016? also the 5th is a Saturday so will it be Thursday 3rd next year?

"Where to take bags of cash at the end of the year?": With regards to this all important question, here's vital help from girlatplay: "I bank with Bank of Scotland and they accept as many change bags as you have, as long as you take them to the business banking counter." That is so handy for members to know, many thanks to GAP.

You can take as many coin bags into the Halifax and pay in over the counter, the only stipulation is that you come with them already bagged in the correct denominations (not mixed up) and that each bag contains the right amount as printed on the front of the bags,

Just thought I would let you know,

Thanks for starting the thread up again so quickly after the end of SPC ~ 8, I am ready and raring to go :-)
