Can i join in please?

No target in mind - not very good at saving and am trying to get myself sorted out (though could take a while!). Anything put in before opening day will just stay there for next year.

Kind regards,

Of course you can join us. It will get you off to a good start for 2013 if you begin now. All you need to do is read post # 1 very carefully so that you know what we are about (and in case we test you later :rotfl:....only joking....:rotfl:) Sue-uu our lovely leader will be along soon to allocate your very own sealed pot member number to pop on your signature, then you are one of us! Do join in with the banter 'cos we are a lovely, friendly lot Enjoy potting!

Have a lovely weekend everyone x

Sue-UU

There are no such thing as late joiners, getting-there-slowly, only early ones! A very warm welcome to you. Have fun 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 really helps.

Hiya b-e-g, it's GREAT to see you again!!! :wave: Sorry your year's not been so good, but all the best for next year. I'll be waiting on the 29th, sparky too.

Congratulations chippy, you did VERY well on saving £432.43 and at least you had it when you wanted it.

Oh that's really mean of your Wife, Gra76! Try and get a mouse trap attached to it... or do as little_sweetie advises and take it to work, anything to keep it from her.

I also have some fantastic news - my DD is expecting twins :j :j :j :j :j! She and her hubby nearly fell through the floor when the doc told them at their first scan yesterday.

What a year 2013 will be. Luckily I get an extra 2 weeks sabbatical leave next year and I am sure DD will be happy to have a helping hand when the kids arrive.

Congratulations to them both and to you, Susanne!!!!! :j:T:T:j

You just HAVE to be smiling all the time now, I know I would be. I truly am thrilled to bits for you. No idea how the Drs detect identical or not, but what a joy! Here's to that much needed lie in.

Sue this is the first time in years I have been so organised and stuck to budget and it's all thanks to you SPC'ers :A I have just shopped wisely & not as a skinflint either

So what's my excuse after all these years then, little_sweetie?? :eek: Well done you anyway, it must be such a relief. BTW, here's another gold star for 2 really lovely 'welcomes' in a row. :staradmin Thank you!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone, keep safe & healthy and keep saving well........just 13 Days to go!

I was so excited when I spoke to her last evening that I forgot to ask whether they are likely to be identical or not. I am not sure how the doc can tell.

Congratulations 2 times

I would have thought they could tell by the 2 placentas if its fracternal :think: and that they each have their own amniotic sac :huh: if they were identical they would be in the same bubble sharing wouldnt they? :think:

Ah that's good news SusanneCape. Congratulations again.

Thankfully i am only having one, although i look like I'm having two. :rotfl: Apparently i'm quite big for 14 weeks. :eek:

Hi Out-Of-Debt-At-Last

Of course you can join us. You sound very well organized having already read the first post Sue will be very impressed.

You could always start putting your pennies away have you got any where special in mind for your holidays?

We are very [STRIKE]nosy[/STRIKE] interested in what everyone is doing so post regularly and keep us up to date.

Have some fun and join us Sue will give you a number and Sparky our counter upper will add you to his spreadsheet, so everything you decide to bank (Some of us prefer to bank a bit as we go along) if you just pop it onto your signature it helps him at the end of the year.
