Well that was a quick start to saving, originalkim! A very warm welcome to you.
Have fun saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 5 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.
A very warm welcome to MSE too, originalkim. Excellent news in hearing you've started your pot so soon, but why not, sooner the better! :grinheart
Hi nomi, it's good to see you are now well on your way, it's good to see you've taken out the larger coins and left the spends for that purpose, good for you.
Whether you have a Target or not is entirely up to you, some like to do so whereas others prefer just to wait and see.
Happy potting both of you.Sue xAnyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome, it's never too late.There may be a lot of us, but don't feel intimidated, we're a lovely lot, so come on in.:grinheartPlease read the 1st post on Page 1 first so you know what's what.Sealed Pot Challenge 001 My Totals = 08 = £163.95 09 = £315.78 10 = £518.80 11 = £481.87 12 = £694.53 13 = £1200.20! 14 = £881 15 = £839.21 16 = £870.48 17 = £871.52 18 = £800.00 19 = £851.022021=£820.26[/SizeGrand Totals of all members (2008 uncounted) 2009 = £32.154.32! 2010 = £37.581.47! 2011 = £42.474.34! 2012 = £49.759.46! 2013 = £50.642.78! 2014 = £61.367.88!! 2015 = £52.852.06! 2016 = £52, 002.40!! 2017 = £50,456.23!! 2018 = £47, 815.88! 2019 = £38.538.37!!!! :j0 -

Sorry originalkim, I forgot to say that as you're new to MSE you probably won't have any idea of how to put your number on your signature.
See the top green bar of any page (near where the 4 MSE workers photo is and you'll see "Quick links". Click on that, then click on "Edit your signature" and you'll then see the box in front of you where you put something like
"SPC No ...." on as well as anything else to do with debts, challenges etc.
Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask, and remember, there's no such thing as a 'stupid question'..
Hi lemonpopsicle, I'll be over to SPC 5 in a mo to see how much you saved this year. Your Targets updated as requested - here's hoping you meet or exceed it. Not to worry about having used some or all the money for debts, a good idea really!
That was quick into the new saving year, LunaLady, good for you!Sue xAnyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome, it's never too late.There may be a lot of us, but don't feel intimidated, we're a lovely lot, so come on in.:grinheartPlease read the 1st post on Page 1 first so you know what's what.Sealed Pot Challenge 001 My Totals = 08 = £163.95 09 = £315.78 10 = £518.80 11 = £481.87 12 = £694.53 13 = £1200.20! 14 = £881 15 = £839.21 16 = £870.48 17 = £871.52 18 = £800.00 19 = £851.022021=£820.26[/SizeGrand Totals of all members (2008 uncounted) 2009 = £32.154.32! 2010 = £37.581.47! 2011 = £42.474.34! 2012 = £49.759.46! 2013 = £50.642.78! 2014 = £61.367.88!! 2015 = £52.852.06! 2016 = £52, 002.40!! 2017 = £50,456.23!! 2018 = £47, 815.88! 2019 = £38.538.37!!!! :j0 -
Sorry to be a pain already!
I've tried to create my sig about 6 times now and its just not showing in my posts
It shows up in preview, i save it and the its not showing up in posts:think:
It might be something to do with Windows8, the way my posts type since having it are different from how they look on windows7.
when i add emoticons they are in type not pictures until its posted.
Thanks for branding me with my very own Number Sue :T
