  • Good Morning everyone :)

    I hope you are all well.

    All your totals are FANTASTIC! From £7.12 to £2574.62 you should all be so proud. Any amount is an improvement on £0. Even those who haven't potted, there is always next year :)

    Welcome to all newbies, hugs to everyone who is poorly or lost family or affected by the floods or anything else anyone wants a hug for.

    I shall be counting my pots up tonight and I can't wait to find out how much i have. My pots do count the money up but 2 of them are broken and miss money so it is still going to be a little surprise. Regardless, i'm excited and i can't wait!!

    Good morning one and all. My total for 2012 is £438.96.
    Thank you Sue & Sparky for looking after us, without you I would never have started saving.
    I'd also like to thank everyone who cheers our days up by posting on here, especially J-M & LC2. Well done on becoming debt free Jakes-mum.
    Hugs for those who have lost loved ones and anyone else who needs one.
    Congratulations to all for your savings, however much it may be.

    Thanks so much to Sue and Sparky for keeping this thread in order. I am definitely on board for next year.

  • Hello Sue-UU and all SPchallengers.

    I know I haven't been around for a few weeks but I have been potting away, honest! not as much as previous as more NSDs.

    I will stick with £874 (I am leaving my additional monies in the owls head and the VW Camper for next year) so can i join in again for next year please??

    Well I saved for a new fridge/freezzzzer and I bought one last week (and a new cooker) and I got £200 discount off my local independant retailer :D sold my old f/f and cooker, DH got a £200 bonus from work, sold my old cycle for £150 so it worked out I only had to put an extra £100 towards the total amount! Yay.

    I think for next years SPC I will save for a holiday if nothing else comes along and needs replacing!

    Well done everyone on the fabbo amounts saved. I would still be moaning about the f/f and cooker if it hadn't have been for this thread so yep, I am a converted fan!

  • I've counted up my pot and have a total of £302.55
    (SPC#1064). :j:j:j

    I am happy to have this money but can't help feeling a slight twinge of disappointment that it isn't nearer £400. But then, it's been a very tough 12 months, OH hasn't worked in over a year and I don't earn much, so I am going to give myself a big pat on the back. :beer:

    Next year, though, I'm going all out. Sue, please put me down for £1000 target! :D
  • Opened my pot,and pleased to say i had £385. Will you count me in for next year please.Oh and a big well done to all the other savers.

    Of course you can join, Saver88! A very warm welcome to you. biggrin.gif 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.

    Whichever way you look at it, peaceandfreedom, given all you've been through you've done exceptionally so please, please shrug off that bit of disappointment and spend the rest of the day patting yourself on the back, you deserve that!!! :T

    Ok then, so your Target's set and to realise it you'll be needing to save £20 a week, do that and you'll be over the moon, anything less though will still be one heck of an achievement! :grinheart

    VERY well done to you too, nato3girls, a lovely amount!!!! :T You're already in for SPC 6 - everyone is!

    You ok there sparky? I see your trademark every so often. xx :D
