    Hi all
    Here's wishing you a happy, saving 2014.
    No potting for me in the last few days, spent my last cash yesterday on a Chinese takeaway.
    Back to work tomorrow, it'll be a shock!
    Still raining here, hope you're all OK.

  • Hi everyone :wave:

    Wow, this thread is so fast paced that I can't keep up! Hopefully, I will have more chance to do so from tomorrow as it will be back to normal in the sweetie household ;) House now tidy and fresh for 2014 and I did a smaller than usual shop at mr M's today. It was so quiet and peaceful to shop that I came in well under budget. Could that also be because I left DH at home?? :cool: I checked my receipt to find I had been charged £1 too much :eek: It was swiftly refunded... so in my pot it popped!

    A belated hug and 'thank you' Sue for my shiny new star! :T
    A huge welcome too to all the new members and welcome back samtoby! Wonderful news about the baby too :T
    I will now try to back track on all the posts and news I've missed.....

    Happy New Year Everyone!

    Hi,

    I would like to join your SPC for 2014 please.

    I know what I want to do is not in the spirit of this challenge so if there is another more relevant thread, please let me know.

    I want to document my savings but with the view of using the money to contribute to the 1% challenge, in other words withdrawing regularly to make additional payments to CC bills, instead of saving towards Xmas.

    I will update regularly and keep a track of total saved during the year.

    Thanks
    Challenges 2014
    1% challenge #TBC: CC#1 - 1% = £33 (0%/100%); CC#2 - 1% = £18 (0%/100%);CC#3 - 1% = £14 (0%/100%)
    VSPC # 145 - 3.1.14 Week £2.32 / Total £2.32
    SPC #302 - 3.1.14 Week £0 / Total £0
