Hi everyone, is this the place to be for 2010 SPC? :j
I never joined last year as I didnt see it. But I have saved up regardless:D. I have counted my coins up today and I have £226 (:oand I did dip into it a couple of times when I was broke, so probably had more!!) and there is some loose change that will start this new SPC..
So please add me to the list and I will do my upmost not to pinch out of it.. I will have a target of £300..:beer:
(Just thought I'd tell you my little trick, I have an old intensive conditioner pot, Treseme I think, I keep it in the cupboard above the kettle, and empty my purse of change, daily, then when thats full, I find my Quality Street jar and empty it in.. It builds up in 'chunks' then!):AHe who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
If you really cant knit very well, then practise drumming with the needles...

TIS the dreaded me.... I have returned to the fold.
I looked and looked down the list. I declared without my number and then found me and gave the number then somebody else spotted me under another number
And guess what. I HAVE 2. Yaaaay!
463 and 499.
Would you please cancel 463 and just leave me as 499...that is far easier to remember....I think?

Morning all,
New tin duly bought yesterday.......:T...although at 57 years old I don't think Sponge Bob Square Pants on the front is really my thing.!!!:o but it was all I could find without trawling the shops. So without more ado.......£2 coin was put in. It sounds a bit lonely in there so hoping for a few more soon.

My friend told me about the magical coin sorting machine in HSBC (in London Oxford Street branch for anyone) so I went in there to have a gander....it was out of order, probably due to this thread
and on the way out I found 5p so in my pot it went!
