Well done everyone on your fantastic totals.:j:j:j:j:j

Well in honour of today being the day DH and I official became debt free we have opened the tin as well, as this is the first year we have opened it and not had debt hanging over our heads

ahh shucks, I won't be opening any pot tomorrow as I opened mine in the summer to help fund my holiday spends and pay off my overdraft. I can't remember the exact total but it was over £200 :j and I was chuffed to bits !

I'm looking forward to joining in properly with sealed pot 6 :T

That's still something to be happy about now, Flat Eric, it came in so handy for you then. However, keep saving as hard as you can and you'll possibly have enough for the holiday and Christmas next year. Be so happy with your £200, you did yourself proud, especially with the OD that's what's important!! :T
See you on Friday on SPC 6 I hope.

Oh that's so very well done, Kerry!!!!! :T You've done just great and IF I remember well, that's about the same as last year. I'm so very happy for you.

Creeping in to just whisper a very small £42ish to tomorrows big total:o
Not a great saving year for me. I can only try harder next year if you will still have me.:o
Hope everyone has done really well!

Ahhhh, come on, elizabunny, you too have still done so very well, please be happy - it's STILL your savings!!!! :T IF we'll still have you? Are you joking?? You come on back on Friday to SPC 6, ok! Good. Be happy, proud too!! :grinheart

A brilliant sum, catwoman!!!! :T A target helps you aim high, but after such a terrible financial year....you've done marvellously!!! :j

VERY WELL DONE so far, everyone and whether you've saved a lot or a little, be proud of the word savings!! To have saved this year is something really great.

well remembered!!! I do and it will be going up this weekend.It's still worth every penny and has infact gone up in price every years since. Although I haven't had a sealed pot as such I have still been saving my £2 coins and managed to pay for a weekend break and a new 4 tier (£350)guinea pig hutch this year. I love spending this money I save. Can't wait to start again.I have my pot sealed and ready :T

:j Hellloooo there Molly, it really is sooooooo good to see you back with us!!!!!! :j How could we forget you! Have you still got that rather expensive Christmas tree you bought for the kiddies a few years ago with your savings?? Oops (oopalah) is still here too as well as sparks and Little Chicken comes at Christmas (along with Santa!!;)). It's always lovely to see 'old faces'. :grinheart I thought you'd deserted us, but I'm so pleased to see that's not the case.....marvellous news truly it is. We've got many more lovely folk here, Molly, so come on regularly and join in like you used to. See you soon and remember, SPC 6 starts on Friday.

Please everyone, DON'T use coinstar to change your cash! They take 10% of YOUR MONEY!!!! :mad:

Well folks, it's the...last few hours of saving for SPC 5 now! :j:xmassmile

Pot or not, Molly, you're still a member and what you've saved this time around can still be added. Just let me know how much you've managed.

Wonderful, LurkinGerkin!! An excellent sum saved :T
No need to do anything to be in for next years's; I start up SPC 6 on Friday, look forward to seeing you there.

Hi Sue, thank you so much for the warm welcome back! I hope you have been enjoying better health in 2012.

Well done samtoby, that is a phenomenal amount! I wish I could be preparing to declare a similar amount, but unfortunately I think I'll have only a fraction of that! But every little helps - hopefully I'll have Christmas covered!

Good luck potters!!! xxx

Sue-UU

We're all individuals, Cazzie, be it wages, mortgages, amount of kiddies, way of living, debts etc, it all makes a difference to how much we're able to save, the most important thing is that we're able to save!

I look forward to seeing how much you've managed, mine won't be too much, but I'll be happy with it - when I get round to counting it that is, seriously! :eek:
