Hi everyone
well done on your totals for SPC 2 - I was decorating and then Christmas and didnt get my total posted - I had £117.23 so was well pleased with that - my aim this next year is to have £150 - I dont post very often but your posts are very inspiring when i do get the chance to read them.
I already have a new sealed tin and have been adding to it already.
good luck everyone with your own challenges/totals.Peace will be mine
could do better - must try harder
Live each day as if its your last

Thank you Sue for my number. :beer:
Whilst hunting around the bottom of my wardrobe today for a lost pair of leggings I found one of those tins which cost a pound and need opened with a tin opener. This is now my sealed pot for this challenge. :j
To start things off I have put 3 x £1 coins in. :j Also I put £2.87 into the spare change jar. This was from money sitting around the house and from the washing machine. OH never empties his pockets so I reap the rewards. :rolleyes:0 -
