    Thanks Mortgagenewbie, have to admit that I love it. Don't forget that anything will do - then aim higher a little way down the line or a subtle HINT!!! :D

  • Hi Sue-UU

    I was once a member of the SPC many years ago, well a couple anyway.

    Could i rejoin please. My number is 022. I will aim for £100 ish to start with, i'll have one pot for £1, and a second pot for other shrapnel.

    Need something to keep me focussed and to help me concentrate on paying debts and saving again. I also have a Terramundi that i have had for years and manage to tweezer my money out of so will be using that again.

    Thank you.
    SPC 18 Target £200 /

    Hello again, EverTheOptimist and welcome back to saving. Your number's still there, you're still a member! :D

    *Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much.

    Would you like to make the £100 your Target or not? I'll gladly pop it on if you wish? I love my Terramundi and like you, use tweezers or (mostly) a knife. Good luck!

    Eh cleggie - you can't put a £5er in...when I've just got 20p!!!!! :eek: Well done, a great start!

    More £2s then, jakes-mum, I love thinking of those beautiful coins in my £2 pot - or did do before they all went to the bank. :(

    Hi there, marco1dog, it doesn't matter if it's just a little so far, after all I've only got 20p, at least we've started on our way. Please can I ask if you'd kindly pop your No on your siggy, it's so helpful? If you're unsure how to: Got to "User CP" above on the top bar on the left, click and the select "Edit Signature" and voila! Off you go. ;)
