    Hi all, I managed to pot £2.72 yesterday and 47p today. I also got DH's money boxes and emptied them into the big one. :D No persuasion needed! :rotfl: Plus 50p in 5p's out of my pyramid, they were getting lonely in there. Pot is quite heavy already, hope the bottom doesn't fall out! :eek:
    Good luck everyone

    Hello - #1380 here.

    I have just counted my last tin's amount and I had £478.36 in it, so I am going to try and beat that this time - though I need to go and purchase a pot first, which will be my mission on Friday.

    Well done DG :T
    You snuck that total in hun, almost missed it, did you put it on the SPC4 thread?

    A very warm welcome, BlushingRose and MuffinTops, it's lovely to have you with us. biggrin.gif Have great fun saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through post 1as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

    *Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it helps so very much.


    What a b****y heathen, Nikadi!!! Though I know what you mean - you are not a fool at all - we should all be able to trust folk, but always have to pay a price first to jolt us into knowing that sadly, we can't trust folk, for fear he/she just may be NASTY!!!! Still, on the whole most people are lovely, what a joy! I hope you're able to double your normal savings, in time if not now.

    Go on, kirstysmudge, clean more!!! :j If there's one thing to make folk of rooting around - it's to find money if you're a saver - or clean the house after finishing with fags!

    If anyone here wants to stop smoking - there's help to be had on the "Quitting Smoking 3" thread here


    Me too, jakes-mum , pimping for meself on the Quitting Smoking thread! :rotfl:


    You make me laugh, kerri, it sounded more like a ruddy marathon than a penny pick up. Saying that, I know full well I'd have felt exactly as you did and it would have really hurt if some other ......had picked it up!!! :mad:


    It's so good to see you back on DorsetGirl and you did brilliantly with your savings!!!!


    You're taking advantage of some great savings there, laisbojar, fantastic to hear!!!

    Bad luck about the ride, supasick, but you certainly gained by potting the cash instead.


    Well done you, jakes-mum :T:T, you told her good and proper!!! We DO NOT have folk smashing pots on yer! It's criminal and so not :money:
    Well spotted and potted, Lost!! :D


    Ooooh you crafty blighter, ModestyB....WELL DONE!!!!! Keep at it! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Om nom nom nom Quality Street. Feels like Christmas now :D

    Camera turned up and it is flippin' gorgeous! Was worth the 63 of Amazon vouchers and the 3.77 I put in.

    Mr Elfen started his pot and superglued it shut

  • Hii, my number is #1446

    I didn't have a sealed pot last year, just a pot that I'd put change in (and take out)..I counted it the other day and there was £36.00 in there!!!

    My aim is to save £100 over the next few months.

    I added 14p this morning (not much - I know lol)
    2019 wins: Nothing yet :(
