thank you, hoping to go to Italy, been there once and loved it, thought a sealed pot is perfect for saving for spending money as that's the bit i never add in when thinking how much it will all cost! i have sealed the pot..and already popped a 5p in out of the washer!

Hi everyone,

I have only lurked on here for most of the year but I have been adding to my sealed pot in fits and starts and am quite excited to see how I much I have. I don't think I will make my £500 target (it has NOT been an easy year) but I hope I have done a bit better than last year.

I'm so excited, can't wait to open my pot. :j

Good luck and well done to everyone who has saved their pennies. :beer:

Hi out-of-debt-at-last

I've always fancied Italy but DH doesn't!!

Will get there one day though.

We are off to Portugal in three weeks we go away in winter and stay home summer cos I look after the GC. :rotfl::rotfl:

You will be surprised how much you can save in bits and pieces

I got 2p roadkill, I got 2p roadkill

Went to Mr W for some steak for dinner and managed to spend £38 :think: they did have my haagendaz on £2.22 though so I 'had' to buy 6 tubs . . . sure thats not the reason for my huge bill though . . . must have been the 60p chocolate slices I bought for DH hes always pushing my shopping bill over with his cakes and sweeties!

And I'm quite sure you are not as disorganised as you make out :think: you've taught us all a lot over the last SPC year too

Well the family came round this afternoon and as I love them all so much I paid for a takeaway curry to share :A I didn't have enough food in the house to cook them something Bang goes my whole weeks pocket money but it was lovely.....

I am now 'cream crackered' and need my sleep.....Night night all zzzzz

Really looking forward to it, spoke to DH and DS about it and they are both on board, so we are off the starting blocks!

A very warm welcome, out of debt at last, 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 really helps.

Our Son & his Wife absolutely loved Italy, LC 2, especially the Lake Garda, so beautiful there. Very expensive in Venice! BTW a shiny gold star for you as for such a lovely welcome. :staradmin So, another holiday looming for you then, have a wonderful time! That'll be getting close to Christmas!

Look out, ETO, you'll be house sized come May then! :eek: I hope you're cherishing all that excitement, course you are. :A

Morning! Haven't been around for a while, but I have £4.40 to add to the pot! Will catch up over the weekend x

Hello again, torriaterrier!! Good to see another one getting excited at pot opening day looming close. How's your little treasure?

Hi again, peaceandfreedom! Please, look forward to the excitement of what you WILL have rather than worry about meeting targets. Actual saving is the important thing. :grinheart

Flippin heck, jakes-mum, you must have nearly cleaned em out of haggen dazs!!! :eek: Then you start on the chocolate toooo?!!!!! :rotfl:
Oh very well done indeed, VikkiiKawaii, all the best for your Sister too then. She's welcome to join us IF she wishes.

Ahhh, life's for sharing, little_sweetie, that was a really wonderful family treat. I'm not at all organised this year, and it's creeping up fast! BTW, I obviously don't always practice what I preach!

A surprise £15 from DH tonight, bless him :kisses3:, he's been secretly saving it to surprise me; better watch out or he'll be starting his own sealed pot!!

Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone, keep safe & healthy and keep saving well........just 10 saving days to go!
