I'll probably be mainly saving from my food shop, this is something I'm trying to work on anyway. Can I just put my leftover budget from my weekly shop in my pot??

claireyfairy82, that's exactly what we do, so yes, you can! Have a look through the 1st post of the 1st page and it tells you everything you need to know. You can start as soon as you like.

Do you all have targets for your pot, and are you all saving for Christmas?

ALM2013, as the girls have said, it's entirely up to you, but do please read through the 1st post of the 1st page to get an idea of what it's all about.

As if I'm ever going to change! And you know full well you would hate me to be any different than I am If I changed who would you shout at? :rotfl: Ain't that the truth!! :mad:

Hmm I'm beginning to suspect your changing the rules each year just to confuse us all :eek: I certainly remember a no multiple challenge rule from somewhere . . . I just cant guarantee that I didn't make it up meself :rotfl::rotfl: Whatever can I say to the last bit. I told you all towards the end of SPC 5 that it was ok to put the £2 challenge totals onto your SPC Totals as whatsername who runs it said no Totals were put on over there.

Ive always started my new challenge same day as we open the pots, if I didn't that would be a whole 24 hrs of potting time lost :eek: you cant open your pots when you get up in the morning and then not put something in the new one till the next day! Sacrelidge!

Sacrilege actually.

Now then, let's get this bit right: You can all put what you like in your pots on the 28th, but there won't be any SPC 7 thread until the early hours of the morning on the 29th. I've always restarted the new thread the day after - and it'll stay that way!

We never remove a potter once they ask to join (though I think Sue has contemplated doing so in mine and LC2's case)

JAKES-MUM, SUE would never get rid of us she loves us I bet we are the last thing she thinks about before she goes to sleep :rotfl::rotfl:

Potted £4

See I'm on topic SUE !!!!!

Shall we put that to the test, d'you reckon, LC 2? Ooooh I'm so sorely tempted, though only with 2! :j


I couldn't agree more, Lynsey. By heck, you scored a HUGE bargain with that pizza, great news!

Exciting indeed, Rosy, I'm so looking forward to it...even with all the work it brings, it's always a brilliant time!! :j "Break Patrick open"?? I hope that's just another term for open him. :eek:

I forgot to mention - our SP is one of those that needs smashing to get the funds out! So there will be no temptation to go dabbling!

NO BETH!!!! Even though it seems ages to go and that maybe then you won't mind smashing the pot - NEVER, EVER do so!! See my paragraph on the 1st post of the 1st page about Terramundi pots and go by that, please! I've had 2 of them (1 for £2's & 1 for £1s) and they're still intact. BTW, would you like the £900 added as a Target after your name & No on the first page?? BTW, is that really what it costs to get wed in Church these days?!! :eek: BTW, there's no such thing as a daft question, though I see you've had it answered, and I have the same rule as jakes-mum (daft as it may seem) any £2 piece that comes in the house goes in the pot, too pretty not to! :grinheart

Well done, ETO, and good to see you.

Hope you all have a good 'thank crunc*y' day tomorrow

Well done, Lynne, though with that phrase you're showing your age a bit - not that I'd know! :silenced:


Ah, I see what you mean now, Ruth, though why I didn't twig the first time......! Oh, bless little Squash, though she probably thinks you're her mate! :rotfl:

Oh you are doing well, Helen, brilliantly in fact. Look out next year when the savings bug's really got hold of you.

:rotfl: Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray, another £36.47 potted in last two weeks. Saved by walking and not catching bus or driving and paying parking fees plus some bedroom kill! I.e money from bedroom floors. It's all out war in this house with two kids savings pots to fill too! My son is Mr Moneybags, his is full of notes whereas my daughter seems to have a few coppers and a lot of dust in her pot!

That's fantastic news, 50thfun, why give it to others when YOU'RE the one that needs it?!!

The nice guy at the coal merchants said that instead of dude going to collect our coal from him he could deliver AND we would get it £2 cheaper! Only problem is .... We don't have a coal bunker

Try to pick up a 2nd hand one, mommyof4, our DD got one for a £5er. For a little outlay it could end up saving you a mint, especially if you can buy some in the summer months when it's cheaper anyway. Advertise locally for one wanted as many folks switch fuels.

Ah, it's so lovely to hear about your DS, mumof3plusoh. Oh to be that age again - or not maybe. A difficult one. BTW, see below..

Didn't buy anything except food. Gave DD 30p to use the toilet at the station:eek:. She waited until we got home and like a well trained potter she put it in my pot.

Thanks for the giggle, mumof3plusoh, glad you had a really good day.

Sue-UU!! picking on the spelling of a woman with M.E! thats not nice, tis not my fault I forget more than I remember nowadays

Exciting news (that I forgot to tell you all . . . see memory strikes again) The Jakester had a football game against one of the other teams from the same village as he plays for (DS's team is bottom of league C, they are top of League A so had a bit of an advantage :rotfl:) well though they lost spectacularly . . . DS got himself the Man of the Match trophy bless him, according to grandad he played his socks off

No pennies yet as havent been to the post office yet. Got Miss Lily home today as she had terrible headache yesterday and was boiling hot last night and this morning didnt stop her trying to sneak up the stairs to play jakes xbox :mad: soon put a stop to that and shes now watching jake and the neverland pirates here with me and doing a times table square Little bit embarassed as shes been doing all the way to 10x since september and when I went to parents evening the teacher said they would be starting 2x after christmas :eek: I thought they were all doing all the tables by now . . . I will admit its been a few years since I had a child in year 1 though so im a bit clueless with what they are supposed to learn

Iheart

Thank you for my number Sue

£1.63 purse change and 6p shopkill potted last night. Some crafty so and so slipped me a foreign coin in place of a 5p in b'n'm yesterday. Grrrrrr! The bloke packing distracted me so I didn't notice till last night. Double Grrrrrrrrr!

Welcome to our new potters.

Hugs to all.
