Hi Sue-UU sorry, thought I had read all of the first post, but obviously missed that bit! Have been back and read it all now!! oops!!

looking forward to saving!

You're forgiven, Tinker,bell...just this once.

Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness, Kerry, we're fortunate and higher up - if we flood the rest of the village is really in the mire! There are several homes by the river and it's notorious for flooding the closest homes. The River Parret has been flooded for ages and so very many of the fields completely under water. We're now just hoping our Granddaughter can get back from work! Thanks so much, you're a sweetie.

Hi Anna, a Happy New Year to you also! Please can you kindly put your new No 114 on your siggy for me? Thanks a lot.

Well done, fishcakes. Weather terrible here and gusting up even worse now.

Can i join please already put the dates for opening and submitting in my diary for this year so aiming to be in line with everyone else

Welcome home, summertea! I saw you on SPC 6 and reminded you there that all numbers have been renewed. I came back and added you to the list, so if you can kindly swap your No over I'd really appreciate it.

Very good on potting, cattysmum!

There aren't many I forget, samtoby, though with you mostly it was the boat and where you live. Be sure to let up know how your pregnancy goes. All the best.

Excellent Nikki! Ah, actually, oh dear. Sorry, didn't read it all in one go. Fingers crossed on finding that card!

Wooo-hay Tom!! :j You did so well.

Sue-UU local FB selling pages? Sorry for being thick lol

FB being Facebook (if you belong to it), mommyof4. There are selling pages there and people advertise local services on them, a lot cheaper than shops or Apple. IF you belong to FB then type something like "ipad screen repairs" in the search bar. If you're not signed up and don't want to be then is it possible to ask a friend who has a FB account?

SUE_UU I've potted £70 which is the money I have spare after payday which I haven't spent? Can I say this is potting? Also I'm now wanting to use the pot to save for our holiday money which is mid march so can I open my pot then and then start again when I get back? I'm basically hoping not to spend a lot of money in jan and feb and potting what I have left as well as spare change like normal. Can I do this in this challenge please? Really hope so as I'm find this thread very motivating :T

Yes, that'll be perfectly ok, frugaldances, you're quite welcome. Re the £70 saved after payday spends, that's brilliant and encourages folk to keep as much to budget as possible, so I'm all for it!! :j Be happy with what you're doing, just please include it all with your declaration in November.

Oh brilliant, Caz, I love the "eau du wet dog" bit. :rotfl: Our lab has just gone out with DH, she had a wee earlier than belted back indoors as if to say "you can keep your walkies mate!" :eek: So, we'll have eau du wet dog soon until she's spruced up. What a day! Just as they forecast though.


PLEASE NOTE everyone: It's time to change your numbers! 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

That's fab, thanks SUE_UU

Just showing my partner all my different challenges and feeling quite proud

Ive got just over £4 to go in my pot when I next go upstairs. No total to aim for really, and hopefully I wont get desperate enough to need to break into it through the year.

Happy new year everyone - may we all live long and prosper !!

Happy New Year everyone!

So, after several years, I finally opened my pot this morning and I have.. £472 I'm pretty happy with that! Now, just the small matter of getting round to taking it to the bank...

Have got an interim 'holding pot' which I have put £2 in so far until I finish repairing my terramundi :cool: I'm aiming for £500 this year as I am now motivated to stick at it! Hoping for my first roadkilll soon...:rotfl:

Afternoon all,

So today I've potted 37 p

Thats 30p which I found in a drawer and 7p roadkill! Boom, money in the [STRIKE]bank[/STRIKE] pot!!

On top of that I've just found a credit note for Ark Fashion in the same drawer as the 30p that I'd completely forgotten about for £7.51!!! Just in time for the sales, oh yeah...

Happy New Year!!!

Afternoon

Just been to post a letter and popped into asda to get some paracetamol, I bought those and a pencil case and the cashier didn't have any £5 notes so I got £6.54 in change, which I have potted seeing as it was coins.

Not a bad start to the year
