[Quote=Sue- UU] - can we put a target actually - £350.00 for Christmas 2014?[/Quote]

I don't know about we, samtoby, but you can. I've added your Target to your Name & No on post 1 on page 1, ok?

A very warm welcome home, Betsie2010, it's good to see you back again. Don't forget your new no.

Those are excellent savings you've made, little_sweetie!! Fingers crossed for the be!y items.

Katey1980, LuckyLucy has already been given an official welcome and No yesterday, but a lovely welcome, thanks.

Well done with bringing in DF, ruby_Eskimo!

I've been really naughty and taken £10 out of my pot to go bowling with my daughter :-o so now on £98.90

Sorry, frugaldances, but your pot is supposed to be sealed hence the name given to the challenge! Please do so, though if you think there's the slightest likelihood of you needing money to spend (or just to be on the safe side) then please take advantage of using a 'holding pot' as explained on the 1st post of page 1 to be sure.
If members, especially new members, see posts that others are taking money from their pots it may give the impression that it's common practice and everyone can do it, whereas that's not the case! Thanks for taking note.

amiehall, could you please pop your SPC No on your siggy for me, it's 239? Thanks a lot.

It's more important you enjoyed your week away, elizabunny, especially given the venue! A very Happy, safe and healthy New Year to you also. I've just seen your lovely welcome, for which you've earned a gold star. :staradmin

Oh well done, Eyebright, that should give you a boost.


Ok, LC 2, though to be honest....I hadn't read it before.

Really sorry I didn't get back on yesterday, folks, not too great at the moment but will do what I can.

Have a good day, folks, and please - keep safe!

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.

jakes-mum

LC2! I cant believe sparky forgot us! our presence would have made his holiday so much more enjoyable :rotfl:

Been back down the co-0p for more £5 off £20 spends now have 123 loo rolls in the cupboard, will be back up there later for another 7 packs, plus they have the taco boxes on £2 so will stock up on them too as my lot looooove tacos! and being gluten free is an added bonus

No pennies yet as waiting for eldest to finish school so he can push the trolley for me if im up to another visit, will sort out any change after I get back

Am trying to get rid of my darned sofa as had a phonecall today saying my new one thats not due till 16th is at their warehouse and they have a van passing tomorrow :eek: at the minute I cant even give the thing away! even with an electric recliner with it :eek: if someone hasnt asked for it by tomorrow night we're gonna have to take a saw to it and take it up the tip which is a shame as its in good nick cant even get the charities to take it as the recliner no longer has its flame retardent tag on it as DH in his infinite wisdom cut it off with a pair of scissors :mad:

Hi potters,
Full of cold today and feeling yuck. Walked the hound twice, and now snuggled on sofa with the heating on. Potted £2 plus 70p change found in my waterproofs.
Keep dry and safe,
Caz

Oh dear. I have stupidly run myself up a bit of high catalogue bill and am now panicking :eek: So tonight I'm emptying both my tins and am going to put it towards it so I'm not paying interest. Makes more sense to do this then let the debt build.
So mad at myself for getting myself in this situation in the first place :mad: feel free to give me a telling off (hangs head in shame)

Shall report back later with the amount I'm going to bank and shall pop it on my sig too

Twisted_Cherry

Hello everyone :wave: I am joining in this years challenge... My pot is ready and sealed (It's needs to be with me!) and I am raring to go, already threw a £5 in today! My SP is to be opened on 1st December 2014 and I am saving for Christmas - I want to get £500 saved! :xmassmile

So please count me in and here is my pot, 49p in Home Bargains! :dance:

Twisted Cherry, you say you hope to save £500 so I've put it as a Target alongside your No and name, but if you'd sooner I take it off then gladly I will.

Saver88, I think we can all understand and sympathise with you as these things are, sadly, easily done. Get it paid off just as soon as possible then come on back and start off again. Your No and name stays exactly where they are so, we'll be waiting when you're ready. See post 1 of page 1 and you'll see what I say about such times, so please don't worry. At least you explained the situation, all the best with sorting it asap.

Love, Sue xx :kisses3:

Well done, jakes-mum....and if any of us get taken short we'll know where to come!

Get well soon, Caz.

Excellent resolve, maryarm!! No matter what, always remain focused and strong! :j

Hi Saver,

I can sympathise, but luckily it is the start of the year so you have loads of time to catch up again

Good luck,
