    Hi all!

    Our pot got a wee boost over the weekend. DD has started a mass clear out in her room and found two tubs of change which she added to the pot.

    I squeezed a few more odds into it this morning and can now happily report that the pot is full! New one will be started tomorrow, hope to fill the second one and have twice the fun opening/counting!

    Hello everyone
    Sparky reporting in for a quick update, sorry I've been AWOL but I'm still working a lot of overtime and still potting my daily £2 into the sealed pot plus any change. The Poland spending fund is being well fed with £2 coins and 50p's. Off home soon to have a little drink with my DW as it's my Birthday today but I can't drink too much because I'm working 2 X 12 hour overtime shifts this weekend.

    Sue hope you're on the mend and everything will be OK with you soon

    Skilly sorry to hear about your little 'un, hope everything is OK with the poor mite

    Footiemad thanks for welcoming all the newbies in my absence, you'll definitely be getting a deputy badge off sue

    Going to have to run now everyone, I'll try to catch up with you all over the weekend, so stay safe, keep saving and enjoy your weekend


    Thanks Sparky ;)Just like to help you both out whenever I can. Hope your doing ok. Great with the OT but make sure you get plenty of rest too.

    Evening everyone

    I am back from sunny Somerset...beautiful weather and success sweet success my Under 15 team came away with a trophy :j :j bless them it was so hot and they kept going all weekend. Fantastic weekend but tiring. We had 2 teams each so yesterday was completely manic. My younger ones missed out on the quater final by one goal, they drew the match but would have gone through if they had won but they were fantastic.

    Not much money spent for me over the three days. Will need to empty the old purse and see what I can must ...buuut £4 fed to Rosie courtesy of fat club but gained 1lb :( nevermind. Also I have £6 in £2 coins too for the hols pot thanks to some swapping of notes at fat club.

    Well I hope very one is well and had a fabulous weekend.

    Thanks a lot for welcoming folk on so well Footiemad, I'll give you a badge just as soon as I know what I'm looking for! :idea: How about this for now :staradmin ;)

    That will do nicely Sue thank you :A and your most welcome. Glad things are getting there all be it slowly.

    Welcome to all newbies have fun in the mad house that is Potters Paradise :D

    Sparky ...many many belated happy returns.. :bdaycake: I do hope you will do something special...no excuses not to spoil yourself at some point even though you are working hard. Consider yourself told ;)

    Well thats all for new folks catch you later ;) x

    Well, hello, potters! I have found the new Potters Paradise! How are we all!?

    Sorry I've been AWOL for a while, I've been terribly busy and then I had to hunt you all down to our new home! Thanks Sue for setting us up over here to continue all the magical potting joy!

    I decided that it was time to overhaul my life, so after 3 months of binge-eating to the extreme after such a poopy time, I have embarked on a new healthy lifestyle and practically moved into the gym! (I wanted to join in on all the lb losing as well as £ gaining!) I don't go to fit/fat club, I am just doing my own thing and weighing myself every Monday, but I am pleased to report that Cazzie is 5lb lighter after just 2 weeks! I am so in the zone! I'm going to add it to my signature - ooh, this MSE forum lark has helped me in so many different ways!

    Big love to all the regulars and not-so-regulars out there - I am especially glad to see that Sparky has checked in, I was getting terribly worried about him with all this overtime, especially when I found 2p in roadkill - a temporary thrill, until I got to wondering why Sparky hadn't got there first...!? Hope you had a lovely birthday, Sparky, and gave yourself 5 minutes to celebrate!

    Skilly, hope poor Imogen is not too uncomfortable, but excellent news that it has all been picked up early and hopefully everything can be sorted without too much trouble, big hugs to you.

    Footie, thanks for missing me, I feel very special! Fab news about your youngsters - go Team Footie!

    Sue, always thinking of you, hope the rehab continues to go well, and keep on at those doctors to keep them working hard!

    Big hello to all the newbies too - hope you all get to save lots for pot graduation day on December 1st, still plenty of time!

    I've been continuing to pot coppers and silvers and the odd £5 note - my second pot is now getting nice and heavy, but I will be strong and not open it until December 1st - ooh, it's going to be like all my Christmases have come at once!

    Happy potting, everyone, keep up the good work, and hope the sun continues to shine where you are! x :)

    PS - I'm off to update my signature with my latest venture - attempt to create a new slim healthy Cazzie! :)

    Hey Cazzie

    Lovely to hear from you so glad you found us over yonder. ;) Fantastic weightloss, so disciplined. I have to go to fatclub, struggle on my own. Just waiting for netball to calm down and hopefully next week I will find a Zumba class to do until Sept at least to help shift the llbs. :D

    Sounds like the potting is going great guns too. keep it up, I cant wait either.

    Catch you later hun ;) xx

    Hey Footie!

    Thanks hun! You will get back in the zone soon, it took me a long time to find it but I got there eventually! I would love to try Zumba, apparently it's brilliant, I hope you can go and you really enjoy it, you'll have to teach us all some virtual moves and we can all work out together - the SPC Fit Club! I just hope I can stay in the zone - it's much easier in hot weather as I can tolerate salad so much more...!

    I saw you lost a couple of pounds last week! I know how difficult it is when you have such a busy lifestyle, but you will do it, you have done so well already, you are an inspiration!

    Perhaps a little of your pot money can go towards a gorgeous outfit when you get to target!? You deserve it! x :)
