Not much to tell about me really. I did my own spc last year and saved £165. Could have been much better lol
I have plenty of pots holding various bits in but I want a see through one this year so it might just be a random empty coffee jar until I find what I wantI’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Health & Beauty, Greenfingered Moneysaving and How Much Have You Saved boards.

Had to catch a bus today, so popped the change in my pot.
Didn't really count what I put in (roughly £1-ish) - I want to be surprised come November
Have a great evening everyone x0 -
I can't remember now who asked about pots? I couldn't cope with a see-through one, it'd be too tempting! Mine is an old Cheddars tub with the lid sellotaped on and it's in a cupboard so it doesn't get nicked! It's quite heavy already
No idea how much is in there.
January is always a lean month here cos we get paid mid-December and then end of Jan which turns it into a 6-week month :eek:
So not much potting.
Hope everyone's OK with the weather, take care.
