Thanks very much....

Evening Sue
No water ingress for us in Sparky land we're fortunate enough to be on high ground. The only water that crosses the front door is when the dg comes in from the rain wet, I'm glad to say

Hi A Fresh Start I just noticed your post. Of course you can join us Our trusty leader Sue-uu will be along later to welcome you and give you your very own SPC member number which is yours for life (whether you like it or not! :rotfl:) You can then pop it on your signature where it can be polished and displayed proudly All that is asked of you is that you read post #1 carefully so that you know what we are about, then pop in now and again to talk to us 'cos we all love[STRIKE] a gossip[/STRIKE] to hear all the news. Most of all enjoy saving and the motivation on this thread. They are a lovely bunch :beer:
Sue will talk to you soon. She's probably gone to bed with a headache she got from spending 2 whole days and more on here after pot opening day. Poor sparky our counter upper has probably done the same dreaming of £ signs and spreadsheets

Enjoy! x

Hi Little Sweetie,

Thank you for your very welcoming reply

I've read every page and will shortly be preparing my sweetie tin for it's very first sealed pot challenge.

Can't wait to get started and look forward to gossiping *ahem* I mean, catching up with you all shortly.

Take care, AFS x

Evening everyone! Not such a frugal day today, had to pop out and get some shopping. However, won £5 on the lottery which I shared with DH. So that's £1.20p potted for me today.

DreamerHelen

LoL Sparky...I'll watch out for those two....But I'll bet you'll be saying that about me after a few Weeks....All my Friend's Parents used to call me a bad influence when I was a kid

Anyway....I look forward to receiving my brand spanking shiny new Number and I look forward to joining in with you all over the next Year... :T

loads of change in the pot today :eek: £6 for a FB sale, then another £3 from another FB sale, some shrapnel [STRIKE]nicked[/STRIKE] . . umm . . rehomed from DH's computer table, then DH gave me what must have been £10 in £1 coins and 50ps :eek: (though some of this went in the credit card envelope just incase ive messed up my figures) 10p found under the sofa and some coppers as well!

I am looking forward to this years challenge and doing it properly from the very beginning.

I'm being very serious and have decided to put any money in my pot that I 'earn' from making an extra effort. Also I am going to pay myself to do DHs shirts because I hate that so much. So examples will be:

- VAT refund from shopping
- money saved by using coupons or special offers
- any earnings form selling stuff we own
- ironing (:D)
- cleaning our holiday home instead of paying the cleaner

I'm not yet sure whether to put aside the mone we earn from letting out our holiday home -it's not a regular let but we do let it out to friends and it can bring in a fair amount.

So. I still need to construct my pot - I am going to use and old pet food can as it's very big and I am optimistic, but I already have 125 CHF to put in as I spent all yesterday cleaning the cottage ready for christmas renters.
