Do I just update my signature on the 29th November with the total (as I have no idea of a running total, planning on counting it when it is opened for a big surprise!)

Loubell, you're welcome to pop your total on your siggy in November with however much you save. Mostly members update their signatures with how much they've taken out to bank for safety etc, so they don't forget. You be happy with what you do, that's most important.

Just thought I'd better pop in to let you know I'm still here. There has been a very severe shortage of pottings and time.

Hi b_e_g, good to see you!! :wave: I hope things pick up a bit for you, don't think you're alone though, DH & I have only saved a £10er in a while, everything happening at once. C'est la vie! Here's a {{{hug}}} and hoping for a lottery win ...or a few coppers at least.

jakes-mum, just you wash your mouth out, your pot's too if it talks to you that way! Tis only early May yet, over 7 months to go yet and here you are talking dirty so soon! :mad:

Lovely to see you, 166million! You're doing so well with your savings, marvellous news! Keep it up and you'll be so happy come Nov 29th.

Oh dear, little_sweetie, you're really going to have to be careful, but I'm sure you'll manage somehow...where there's a will...! BTW, you earned yourself a gold star with that lovely welcome. :staradmin

I hope your hubby is soon much better and back at work, tinks112. Give him lots of TLC.

Thanks for the giggle with your words on your siggy, Kylie, you lovely lot do make laugh at times, that's why I love to read every single post - unless they're rude ones!

Aha, cutestkids, good to see you popping in!

...you too, scuba, not before time though. All the best with being able to save.

Good work, ETO.

You have a good day too, Sam. Not the weather that was forecast her....yet!

Where are you LC 2 ???

Hi samtoby , aren't other peoples babies lovely. That's what's so nice about GC, you can have them for a while and give them back when you're whacked. And no sleepless nights either! Enjoy and I do hope all is well with you at the moment x

I counted out all my money Ive saved for "sealed pot challenge" and bagged it up for the Nationwide. It was very heavy to carry into town. Anyway when I got there the woman behind the counter said she could only except 5 bags at a time:mad:

...this is why i count up and bank any full bags of change in my every month or so....that way doesn't get too heavy and i dont have to worry about banking all the change at once....

i am only potting coppers and small change so my total is gowing slowly but the pot can get quite hefty

Hi everyone,

Thanks for giving me my sealed pot number sue-UU.

Signature updated - now just hoping to hit the £200 so I can send my other half away on a driving experience to Silverstone at Xmas to thank him for all the help he gives me throughout the year (he buys most of the groceries so I can concentrate on paying off debt - he is such a sweetheart).

I put in £1.94 in loose change yesterday, and now have started looking for roadkill. Saw 5p under the vending machine today - my first roadkill!!!

Is there not a machine you can use (we have one at our local Sainsburys') or do they charge?
