    Fabulous news Nell x you'll be walking on air this Xmas:beer:
    I too had a good app this week - my radio therapy cons has discharged me, so just need a scan to confirm my NH Lymphoma has gone ( apparently they don't normally scan as the treatment after chemo is SO effective but mines a tad unusual as its in my shoulder - but they see no reason for it not to have blasted the blighter away) YIPPEE:j

    Happy &healthy Christmas everyone:santa2:

    Great news meowhouse. Perfect Christmas present eh? :xmastree::xmassign:

    Hope your cold goes soon.

    Merry Christmas. 32b3 xx

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.

    More newbies - welcome and good luck. Save, save, save and get 2014 Xmas for "free".

    Some fantastic road-kills of late - well done.

    Nell and Meowhouse - fantastic news and although that sort of news is good at any time, it gives an extra boost at this time of year. Not only is it good news for yourselves and families, but gives confidence to others who may encounter this sort of treatment in the future.
    Have an extra special Xmas.

    jakes-mum - hope you can put this to bed as a misunderstanding and get back to posting on here. You have obviously enjoyed this thread along with other "friends".
    What ever you decide, have a great Xmas and good luck with your potting, you are a great saver.

    Sue - hope you get time to enjoy your Xmas, you have been extra busy of late. Hope that total for 2013 smashes 2012.

    In fact ALL potters have a fantastic Xmas and may 2014 be a great year for savings.

    I've reached my first £100, but have been "aggressive" with my potting (for my standard anyway). Potted 1 x £2, 5 x £1, 1 x 50p and 1 x 20p coins = £7.70. Pot is now starting to have a little weight in it. lol

    I'm having a few days off potting, but will pop any change into a holding pot until after Xmas.

    Sorry for the "waffle", I'll go now. Catch up on Boxing Day.
    Take care everyone, be lucky and hope Santa looks after you.

    *sidles in with her pram* don't mind me! just looking for my dolls! I'm sure I left them here somewhere :o

    Ahh ty saver88 and Lyndsey, unfortunately yesterday was not a good day and I ended up blowing my stack about something I would normally explain and forget. Sue knows I love her dearly and I'm like a bad penny, I always turn up again once I get over myself :D

    Nell's and meowhouse: that's such amazing news! I'm so very pleased for you both :j

    Now I was made a promise last night! C'mon sue! Where is it!!!

    PLEASE NOTE everyone: It's time to change your numbers now. You'll see there are LOADS less names and numbers now, but it's useless having folk on the list that no longer save with us. However, if old members return then you'll be made very welcome and can still have your name added and be given a new number. :Dforums.moneysavingexpert.comPlease change numbers ASAP folks.

    If you've already updated your No, please could you kindly make sure it's correct as I made a blunder to start with!

    Very many thanks indeed.

    Hellloooo lovely Sealed Potters!! The moment we've all waited for!!


    The Grand Total for "Sealed Pot Challenge 6" is, all things considered, a fantastic
    :j £46.205.52 !!!!! :j


    We've all done brilliantly considering we are so many members down and that the economy hasn't exactly done us well.
    So, very many congratulations to everyone for an extremely terrific effort!!!! :T:T:T:T


    No matter what they throw at us this year, we'll budget all we can and take every single penny possible to save!!

    As always, so very many thanks indeed go to, sparky, my right-hand man!! :T:T:T You've been brilliant with all the counting up, and have always been there for me whenever I've needed help. :kisses3: Please, don't let that spreadsheet get too dusty as we will need it again next year!! Thank you, all SPCers old and new and let's do justice to another great year with those pots!


    Sue x


    Nell, I have only just rejoined but am so pleased to hear your news. That is so brilliant, there really aren't words XXXX

    In case I get lost in preparation Happy Christmas everyone - I can't make the smilies work so imagine some Christmas trees!


    xxx

    Buffy, you never even left so certainly haven't rejoined, you - and everyone else - were only reallocated new numbers because I needed to sort through members that no longer save with us. You're on of our elder savers. :DYou have a wonderful Christmas too and have one of these on me. :xmassign::snow_grin :xmastree: :xmassmile:santa2::rudolf:

    Thanks so much, Lynne, I'm taking care....got to as my every move is being watched by DH. :idea:

    Brilliant potting, littleangels3!! :j

    Best place for it too, ALM. ;)

    You enjoy the carolling and mulled wine tomorrow, tatabubbly, I must look that up and see what it's like, mulled wine I mean. I've never tasted it as I can't have alcohol but am curious. :cool:
