    No potting for me today as I haven't left the house except to take the little ones on their bikes out the front to practice 2 wheeling :)

    I am up to my eyes in assignments at the moment so probably won't be leaving the house over the next couple of days! I really need to get organised and take lunch with me on a Thursday instead of buying it at uni, it is not cheap there!

    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Of course you can join us, MrsBrownBear. A very warm welcome to you. :grinheart Have fun saving and enjoy the banter. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 5 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

    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.


    MrsBrownBear, I'm so pleased you got to us in the end, not easy is it when, at the present, there are more than the normal one SPC thread on the main forum; two of them are to remind members they haven't declared their savings yet and the other is the outgoing thread.


    I would like to set my target at £1000 please I know it's high and I have absolutely no idea how I will do it but it is motivating me so it must be good!!!:money:

    That's perfectly ok, hummingbird, anything that acts as motivation can only be good. Fingers crossed you will get there. ;)

    An excellent percentage to have potted, Moneysavingmomma! :D

    Ok then, LC 2, quite understandable. With regard to all your other [STRIKE]twaddle[/STRIKE] comments you made, take a look at sparky's post - I rest my case! :rotfl:

    Thanks for popping on, sparky, I hope you're able to rest up tomorrow with J. x

    Ah, Swans are beautiful, graceful birds, curly, you enjoy them - as well as the scanning! ;) Wouldn't it be lovely if they nested nearby next year! You never know.

    You're doing really well, newlifeahead.

    You're a very busy lady, Mel, especially as you go to Uni too. Still, if you do make your own lunch - think of the cash you'd save over a year?!! :eek: Go on, it's so worth it. ;)
    count me in again, still have a bit left over from the other tin when it was resealed so off to a flying start!

    Wonderful news, out of debt at last, but don't ever worry about us needing to count you in, you're there and staying. :)

    I'm starting to understand what you were saying about needing an MSE detox now, mossy! :whistle:

    Oooh, I love the thought of that lovely £10 note and 2 £1 pound coins, nanto3girls, a very profitable day for a NSD. :D

    Your Target's all done, gilly41, have a look at the reply Modesty left for you on how to put your number on, it's almost next to your post. If you don't see it then have a look at the welcome above, it gives directions there. If you're still having problems please let me know. :)

    Well done and very little spends, 32b3in2013, it's best in your pot any day.

    Nice on, getting-there-slowly. :)
    Have a lovely Sunday, folks, keep safe and warm.
