  • 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!):A
    He 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...

    Great to see you back Molly!:wave: Well done on all you saved and thanks a lot for your total!!!

    A warm welcome to the thread AllByMyself and Tia_Maria06, lovely to meet you both. :D Enjoy yourselves with us in a whole new way of saving. You'll find your numbers at the bottom of the list on post 2 of page 1. If you haven't already done so then read through posts 1 & 2 as it'll help you with any queries. If you can put your number on your sig it would be great, thanks.

    Lovely to see you here again Our Elsie!:hello: No need to re-apply, your number's still the same. You did really well with the challenge just gone, so don't worry about needing to do better, though if you can then all well and good.

    Good luck with all your plans borntobemad, especially the wonderful one of another new life!!!

    Yes, XSpender, it's fine for you to count the Tesco £4 in with your pot money .

    Hi Aunty Sue, :rolleyes:

    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?

    It's marvellous to see you back reb ....I think!! :rolleyes: I left a message for you on the thread where you left your total. I've updated your SPC3 Total again - this time on 499! Only YOU could have 2 flamin numbers!!! I've got to add here on your first day back that .....your sparring partners [STRIKE]have[/STRIKE] had been behaving themselves! :confused: BTW, we've progressed from a step to a bench and if it gets too full, some extra chairs too. All are freshly polished for you all....to slip straight off of and....into the bin!!! :j :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Glad you're enjoying your days off Paul..saving too!:D

    £1 in the pot for me today from the Morrisons trolley!.

    All the best for today folks, stay safe and healthy all.:j

    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.


    June 2010 - 11/56 lbs Weight to lose before May 2011.

  • Helloo!! Can I join again please? I did it last year and had £378.11p,which was fab!Thanks for this thread..an easy way to save...
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
  • 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 :D and on the way out I found 5p so in my pot it went!
    :hello:
