    Oh, everyone, if you haven't already done this then PLEASE follow sparky's thoughts and have a go as it's hilarious!!! We all loved it last year and the kids were just SO funny. It's also damned hilarious if you've got older more staid members of the family as a photo of them in the figure is a BLAST!!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    All done laura and a good idea of going at it more carefully. Even I have to do that, or I'd be at it all the time..... to coin a phrase!! ;)

    Yours is updated too Marg. Good luck with hitting or passing the target next time! :j You CAN do it.

    Don't you worry Paul, we're always super nice to first-timers... just look out down the track though!!! :rotfl: Totally on the serious side (this time of year with the SPC makes me slightly bonkers :o) do you have any target in mind or d'you prefer to have a surprise come Dec 1st?

    Nothing added to the new pot yet and I still need to bank the contents of the 'old' pot but I'm just checking in to say that my target for SPC3 is going to be £125 (a bit above my 2009 total).

    Wow - have read through most of the last posts in the last thread and well done everyone - how amazing how much everyone has raised!! :D

    I was going to open mine, but I've decided I really will leave it - I'd rather just wait until March 2010 (I'm saving for money to spend in France) but I definitely feel part of this just reading how much everyone else has saved :)

    Hi dippykitty, yours is updated.To make things a little easier for me though, could you ever so kindly please put your No (I think it's 606) in your sig??? :A I know you're a little crowded in there, but have you got room for SPC #606 d'you reckon :question::kiss:

    Hi JaneLiz - what some amazing totals eh!! :eek: I know about you wanting yours in until March for France - but - IF you want to take it out, count it, then pop it back in again, you're more than welcome to do so. I did that with mine yesterday, put the total on the board, and it's now back in it's home til summer or til Canada in 2011.:j Up to you entirely, just wanted you to know you have the chance. :D

    Welcome back mcjordi! :D You're not late...smack on time really. No problem at all about your pot, at least it came in handy at a time you wished, that's what matters. Good luck with your target! ;)

    Don't forget http://www.elfyourself.com/ folks, you'll love it.

    Sue

    Hello! I'm in again, going to aim for £300 please Sue. I think I need a proper pot as last year I only used an old purse and it's not very big. I got a proper piggy bank in the shape of a VW camper van when we were away in September and I think I will use that. I've been trying to encourage DH to put his change in there instead of leaving it lying around so I will have to see if he will let me share it!
    Happy saving everyone!
