  • Hi Everyone

    just a quick note tonight plenty of pennies in the pot plus another £2 coin.

    Going shopping with DH in the morning so should have plenty to pot then

    Was thinking if we all give Sue and Sparky stars they would have 2000 under their sig. Now that would be fun :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    You must both be worn out after the last few days still me and Jakes-Mum have been model potters as usual.

    SPARKY

    Are you working dark days again.I'm coming to Sparkyland on Saturday for a hen night!!!!

    up to £6.48 now! h2b is also putting his change in the pot too, so we should build up a half decent amount at least.

    oooh well done, kobrakai, it's so good for you both to be so keen.

    You're doing darn well, Modesty, keep it coming whenever you can. Thanks a lot for the welcomes. :grinheart

    Very well done, haybel19, you've begun saving well.!!

    ToniLiz, I think you're very wise in not wanting to keep a total, the surprise is wonderful.!!

    Stars from Sue:
    Target: £1500.
    Weight loss goal: 2 stones by April 2013 ;)
  • Thank you Sue for number 2000! Simple to remember and must be auspicious as target 200 pounds is an easy percentage thereof! Maybe instead of the 10% I can get nearer the 100% (well, I can dream)... 50p found in OH trouser pocket in laundry potted today as I didn't go anywhere to spend anything (too flippin' cold apart from anything else!!)
    Night night SPCs! ;)
    SPC No. 104 (oh no I've lost my magic 2000!)
    SPC 2013: £378.23 (paid for Christmas, yippee!)
    Target for SPC 2014: £500

    How exciting to be number 2000 :)

    And I have to say Sue, you deserve a gold star yourself for running this thread, and sparky too of course - you're an inspiration to so many people :)

    So here's a gold star each from me :D :staradmin:staradmin
    Keep up the good work everyone!

  • Hi Sue

    Can I join please? Great idea! I will try to put the money I would have spent on lunch at work in when I take in a pack up lunch instead (as well as anything else I find lying around!)

    do I have to keep a running total, or can it be a suprise come November?
