    A few more pennies in the pot....it's alllllll gooood! Nearly up to payout on Crowdology aswell, since it'll live in my Paypal it's being counted as in my pot as I can't spend it if I transfer it to the Paypal that doesn't haveabankaccount attached
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.
  • Put in this week's fiver and also a nice shiny £2 coin given in change at Claire's Accessories. :)

    Not much else to report on the potting front and no roadkill, must try harder. :D

    Hiya kerfuffle Happy to oblige. The average works out at £357.38 for 112 declarations :D

    Not many though is it when you think of how many members are supposed to be saving, having said that at least a few of the 'old' ones have started up again since Dec 2nd :j so lets hope many more will follow their lead. :grinheart

    Still, I'm not one to moan (shut up you lot) and £40,000 between 112 is extremely good going, so VERY WELL DONE ALL!!! :T
    Not to worry, redbull, it's also great to have NSDs anyway, I have 6 a week! :)

    I'm not even talking to you, jakes-mum! Tyrant indeed.....:p Ere have you even noticed our Grand Total??????

    You're doing very well, Hiddenidenity and NSDs never hurt anyone - me included. ;)

    Very good, Purplemumof2, there's something appealing about a demi-john...especially with money in it!!! :j

    You do well with your £2s, Stressed...it'll make jakes-mum livid!! :rotfl:
    We did do well, Elle1267, so did you with your 68p...it takes on the way to the next Grand Total. ;)

    Train spotter you ain't, kerri, but penny spotter suits you fine.

    Jolly good, elfen! Crowology's a new one on me - any good?

    ooooh lovely, peaceandfreedom...you on advertising rates for CA per chance?? ;)

    Enjoy the day folks, if you can save do so, if not look ahead to when you can.

    No referal linky for it Sue, but if you google it it's not bad. Payout is at 4 quid to Paypal but I'm waiting with baited breath!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Not just you Sue - I did it too :o

    Just potted 61p - 51p found in my pocket and 2 x 5p donated by my very kind DH - I have made it very clear to him though that once it goes in the pot it stays there until the end of the challenge :D

  • Hi everyone,

    Well I'm dead impresssed that we got to £40k with ONLY 112 people! I think thats an amazing amount and am suprised that so few (considering the numbers Sue is now up to in the list) declared anything. I think that extra information fabulously supplied to us by sparky makes the total even more brilliant. So well done all xx

    I need to find something to pot.....hmmm no change in my purse :( oh well I'll keep looking, at least my car passed its MOT this morning :D

    Afternoon Everyone

    DH still poorly (So he says but I overheard him making plans to go football tomorrow)

    Again only a few pennies and not going out again today so nothing else for my pot. Going to make the marzipan for my cake.

    Ah well, I'm pleased to think it's not only me who READS what someone has carefully taken the time to WRITE. Errumph ahem jakes-mum and all others that don't read MY FIRST POST. ***** :mad:

    Anyway, it isn't for you it's for new members, though make sure you get the new dates right at the end of the year. :p

    Lets have a bit to taste, LC 2??! I'm pleading mind as I love marzipan! Can you resist this begging face? Huh?! :D

    Well done b-e-g! It's best to set down the rules where chaps are concerned ;) Had he already sussed what you'd done with SPC 4 in the end?

    Thanks for the information, elfen, I'll certainly have a gander. Though I've got 2 here waiting for YouGov!!!! :eek: Nearly forgot!

    It definately was impressed, Observer, I agree wholeheartedly. A shame we can't show very real membership list though, that bugs me, but not much we can do. :( Great news about you MOT!! The time my DH always dreads.
