Ooooh I used to post here a few years ago I think but I probably raided my pot long ago! I'm looking to have a serious year of saving this year, just need to track down a pot... Hoping I can get stuck in after that. I actually have a tonne of change weighing down my purse at the moment! I have a coffee jar I can use in the interim but I'm too scared of stabbing myself to cut a hole in the lid so I can't seal it at the moment haha!

Hello again, amiehall and welcome home! Please see the membership list on the 1st post of Page 1 to get your number then please pop it on your signature. We always empty our pots and declare our savings near the end of November, please make a note of next year's date: 27th Nov.


Please also subscribe to the thread by clicking on "Thread Tools" (lower green bar) and clicking "Subscribe to this thread"...or you may lose us! To put your SPC No on, go to "Quick Links" (right side of top green bar), click and then click on "Edit Signature" and you're away.


*Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it really helps.

Having spent on Xmas presents and going slightly over I saved £5 in my purse for a taxi because of theta input as my bf picked me up I've potted it! My first note :-):j

GREAT NEWS, frugaldances!!! Arrange for BF to pick you up more often.....or walk..ok, just a thought.

Hi - I can't get them either anymore but if you click on 'more' at bottom of list and when it opens expand it - you then get all the keyboard details for the smilies. They don't all work but the majority do

A fantastic GT eh, Lynne! I know sparky is chuffed with it too, but sadly me putting it on here and sparky going away coincided so he can't be part of it. BTW, I never knew that about the smilies, very handy at times when the internet's slow, thanks Lynne and your 1st gold star for helpfulness to others. :staradmin

Anyway went shopping and all I got was "Do you really need that" "Will that get eaten" "Haven't we got enough"

Anyway shopping done and now he has had breakfast and is sitting reading the paper and has just said "Do you think you should be playing on that laptop cos you have a lot of cooking to do "

Oh dear, LC 2, thanks a lot, that really made me laugh. :rotfl: I just read the highlighted bits to T, he grinned wryly as that's him to a T!! Possibly so of all men! Have a GREAT time all of you, Merry Christmas.

question: I won the bonus ball in work £36. can i pot this.? also any money I get as a gift at Christmas . I know someone will let me know. Thanks

That's all perfectly ok, fishcakes, VERY well done!!! :j

Ours used to be the same, jakes-mum, put your head/face as close as you like, but a hand - no way! Maybe they think we're gigantic birds and our hands are wings to biff em with. :rotfl:

Good to see you today, Pmo2, and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours too. All the best with your last line coming to reality!

Morning skilly and a very Merry Christmas to you also.

Oh thanks for that, sparky, I felt terrible last night on the sudden realisation. We'll make sure of a better timing next year. There's more to be added already, need to wait though as tis on the wrong thread. Survived the in-laws?? Bet J's happy with you!

A lovely crisp £10er for the UU pot. Won't it be weird when we get the plastic ones!!! :eek:

Have a lovely Christmas Eve, folks, don't let anything spoil your mood - unless it's bad! :rotfl:

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. Please 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.

Anyone 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 be shy, we're a lovely lot, so come on in. :grinheart

Welcome to SPC7
Sue will be along soon to allocate you a number, if you have a target amount just pop it onto your next post & Sue will pick it up & add it to the members list on page 1, while you're waiting for your number take a read of post 1 page 1 to get a feel for how it all works. Enjoy saving and enjoy the fun we have, stay away from LC2 & Jakes-Mum, they like to lead people astray!

Debtfree2014, Sue will add you to the main list on the front, keep an eye out for your name on the list, not sure about target, I think you can PM Sue - Im sure someone else will be along to clarify in a bit, good luck:) - just seen Sparkys message - shows how long I took to write that post - interruptions from my little miss!

Ive been a bit quiet - mainly as I have had no change in my purse to add to my pot, but had to get money from the cash point for parking, so put in £4 from my change today!

Its been a busy week, my last day at work yesterday, I was sad to be leaving the people I work with, such a lovely bunch. On the upside, my new job starts 2nd Jan, Il be working from home! General admin work - was contacted by an old employer I left 4 years ago and offered the job. It will be strange working from home, but Im looking forward to not having to find the money for childcare, and hopefully save a few more pennies :T

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you have a brilliant time :xmastree:

Thank You sparky and bellvie for your posts.

Bellvie, what a awesome saving, no child care, brilliant and the bigger reward you are with your little too

Looking for a last minute gift? Got someone you have to buy for but don't really like? Well have I got a deal for you! Free to a good home (so you can pot what you would have spent :j :j) one part used husband! Yes you can be the proud new owner of the original miserable old Scrooge! Guaranteed years of moaning, and doesn't even require batteries! May make you the occasional cup of tea but will demand breakfast, lunch and dinner made for him, has child like belief in magic, as in magic elves collect his dirty clothes, wash, iron and put them back in the drawer and thinks the money out of cash machines is a present from the bank

Line up ladies! For this fabulous, FREE gift, come get him soon as this fabulous offer is proving popular! So far I've had . . . . . No requests for him! But I'm sure that right buyer is just round the corner!

Yep, you've all guessed it, I've just had to suffer the Christmas Eve shop with him, I swear it wouldn't be half so painful if he'd just stay in the darn car!

I do have some change to pot, but my purse is in the kitchen and sir huff-a-lot is in there moping so ill pot it later

:xmastree: merry Christmas eve you crazy potters :xmastree:

well I'm having fun at work today, if I actually did something my day might pass quicker.:D

I left my OH at home with the kids and soup making instructions :eek, he just phoned to tell me how clever he's been making the soup (carrot & coriander) even using a leek from the garden very MSE. :T:T. However the soup is GREEN (I'm on my phone and can't change font colour) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, he is now furiously boiling carrots to create orangish soup. Pfft.:rotfl::rotfl:

Now as he remembered to take a leek from the garden I will pot the money I would of spent in the supermarket. Only problem how much are leeks?? I was going for £1.50 or am I over estimating my wonder veg?? They are pretty huge.

£1.50 it is till I'm told otherwise. :cool::p

Thanks for the offer jakes-mum, but i'll pass.
