  • evening all,
    hope all is well..

    i have put a few quid coins in my jar today along with a few bits of silver and copper.
    ive also found a fiver in my quidco from last year when i delved abit into matched betting, did make £400 in one month, but it is alot of work and time consuming.

    that will be going in once it has been transferred to my account:)

    Morning everyone,

    Had a rubbish weekend. Have had a migraine and still feel shattered today. So nothing in the pot as I am just going to laze about today.

    <<Hugs>> to you. Hope you're feeling better soon.
    Hi

    I'd like to join please? Newbie of 2 days and read some of the posts with interest whilst suffering with a chest infection. 2 days in bed is a great way to prioritise your debts.

    My target for Christmas 2011 is £100.

    Thanks

    Welcome Queen Goomba, hope you're feeling better soon too. Two days in bed is a great way to prioritise your debts. just make sure you put your intentions into actions when you get out of bed.:rotfl:

    Well done everybody for 'clunking' pennies/ pounds into your pots, and also for the silent paper deposits! There's some awesome amounts going in them.

  • Hey hope everyone's had a good weekend :)

    Took £10 out on the way to work to pick up some bits for the office so the change I reclaimed from petty cash has landed in the tin now I'm home. Then another £10 out to pick up a couple of bits for dd's school party tomorrow, change now added to the tin also ... quite a few gold ones too!

    My first year of SPC so I'm super excited to see how much I can manage x

  • To Sue-UU and other SPC members...

    Thanks very much - have started my sealed pot with a rather magnificent £78.52...I knew I had a few coins tucked away in an old gift box to start me off, but until I counted yesterday, didn't realise quite how much!!

    Also found ~45 euros that I'd tucked away from a holiday 18 months ago...nice one!!
