Morning Sue

Just popping on to say thank you for moving us to our new home.
Well done everyone on the great results and look forward to seing the Grand Total over the next week or so.

OOOh the excitment yesterday whilst getting ready for the pot opening - had butterflies in my tummy. :rotfl: Mind you - I have become very protective of the contents - after all I have nurtured it all year. We have earmarked a couple of small amounts for different things but we haven't decided on the majority of it yet. Its just fantastic knowing its there

Morning all

Well this is my 1st SPC and my target is £500.

I haven't started yet but I will get my pot today/tomorrow and start

I really can't wait to see how much me and the OH can save and it will all go towards a fantastic Christmas next year :beer:

Well done to Sue & Sparky for all the hard work that you do and good luck to all SPC-ers

Please can I join this. I don't have an aim - my plan is to put all bus fares in the pot that we don't spend but has been budgeted for. I tend to draw money out of the atm for the week and sometimes have money left over that gets frittered away in town. Everytime we walk/cycle/have a day off bus fares go in the pot! We also buy the odd bottle of wine with the cash we have in a jar, so every friday we don't have a bottle of wine I'll put a few coins in my pot.

I tried last year to do a sealed pot but it got opened when we were strapped for cash for holiday money. I'm far more organised with my money this year and every eventuality has been covered - so I'm hoping to last the year and put the money towards my debts.

Hi Sue, Can I join this challenge please? I'm determined to sort my finances out! This will be the 3rd challenge I have joined for 2012.

Thanks

Howdy Ho everyone! Lovely to see the new thread up and running

Sue - can I please change my target this year from £200 to £500. OH reckons we can do it :j

Off to a good start as a friend of mine came over last night and bought some preserves I'd made (I make them all year) for gifts for her family - I don't normally sell them but she insisted on giving me some money so it all went in the tin

Sue-UU

:ASue-UU i thought you were #001 but it says 219 in your sig, or do you have another pot too (i don't get out much):rotfl:

Thanks for that, mummytummy! There's been a slight change around for sparky & I as I've PM'd the others and not had any replies so I suggested we'd head for the top! Thanks a lot for the reminder, I'd forgotten my sig!

Thanks LAM, yes I did get some sleep but couldn't stop seeing blessed figures! True! Not a bad fault I s'pose.

Your request is sorted, recurrent-ostrich..all the best with getting there, enjoying it too!

jakes-mum, did you want a Target put on of the £500? You make sure you subscribe..I'd hate not to see you bursting through the doors!

All the best with that Target, Shashwoo.

You had butterflies in your stomach yesterday, b_e-g? I had a ruddy rhino in mine - still have with the 2 threads going!!! :huh: A good rhino feeling though.

You're Target is updated, curly. You can do it!
