A very warm welcome, afoxeloni, HomeMum and svenls, it's lovely to have you with us.
Enjoy yourself saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 4 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.
*Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it helps so very much.
HomeMum, do be sure to hide your pot this time; hide it in the least likely place they'll look...best of luck there!
Stick with us, Nikki, you'll learn a little more each day!
If you want/need a larger pot, DorsetGirl, then why not get a cheapy from £land..or better still make one from a carton or tin!scrappie wrote:Aaawwwww thanks Sue - I aways feel special when you point out I did well. It's like getting a gold star from teacher when you're 5yrs old!
Not quite sure whether that's a compliment or an insult!!!
You really are doing wonderfully, Hiddenidenity, keep at it.
You take care not to get a belated hangover after your belated drinks at the belated party with your parents, mumof3plusoh!_ wrote:Please can I rejoin? I was in SPC4 but kept my pot running a little bit longer. Still havent cashed up but will be doing next weekend and the remainder will start off my new pot.
Hi again, mummytogirls! I wondered where you'd got to. You don't need to rejoin (no one does!), just carry on with your same number. Meanwhile, as soon as you've cashed up, please pop your Total on SPC 4, the link is here
Terrific news about the gym pass and free shower, Plemo!!! Any chance of moving in??!!!
RedGoose and all those who get twisted over expensive lattes, why not take a flask from home and pot the money saved????!!!!jakes-mum wrote:Sue never gives me and LC2 a gold star :eek: we just get abuse . . . .

We don't even get silver stars and we keep count of the days and hours till we open the boxes for them!!!
What a pair you 2 are, jakes-mum & LC 2, the only stars you 2 warrant are the ones you see that no one else does!!!
Helloooo again WER!!!!! It's always good to see you, not to worry about your OH with the exchange, at least it'll save you counting them (though I love it as it's so exciting), why not get a bit canny and charge him a little extra...about 20p per each pound, after all it has to be worth your while!!! I do hope you had a lovely Christmas and wish you and the family, including Kas a very safe, healthy and Happy New Year!!!! Keep coming to see us, pease!
That's a LOT of saving, Oops! Very well done, you have a lovely weekend as well.
That's it, seriouslyfrugal, keep it up as you're doing really well.
You must be cleaned right out, moneybear123 ...either that or totally saved!!
Brillant work, Stressed.

Evening all, I've not been anywhere other than my daughter's ballet class today so not much opportunity to find roadkill today. I can only say I'm a measly 1p up after finding it lost on the kitchen worktop. What I did realise though is that this may encourage me to use my cards less and cash more as there's no loose change after a shop with plastic, so I'll be far more aware of what I'm actually spending. Got to be a bonus.0

Evening potters, £1.90 added to pot tonight and a shiny £2 coin for the petty cash tin at mum's house, have managed to spend a small fortune on some doc martin boots for my youngest £65:eek: but she is very heavy on her feet and goes through shoes way too quick, so I cannot buy the cheapies, they need to be sturdy ones. Happy Potting :TThriftkitten

Hi everyone, at least £4 in pot today, though did spend Christmas money on a cardboard stags head. I know, sounds odd but I love it & will get great pleasure from seeing it on my wall & the money would usually go on rubbish. Ooh & my 4 yr old found 20p car kill, suspect it was from mr moomi's pockets actually but still, into the pot. Can't remember if I posted yesterday but if not, that was just about 45p however, it wil all add up. Must have at least £35 in there now so very happy. If I can get that in each month, well wow!!!!Mortgage Balance May 25- £9975. Planning to be paid off by Dec 25🎄0
