    I need your help with a decision potters.

    Made a sale today, £150 :j
    Do I:

    A) pot it
    B) bank it
    C) buy a new breadmaker as mine's dying
    D) something else

    Thoughts?

    All of the above (well, except d) :rotfl::rotfl:

    I couldn't be without my breadmaker so if you need a new one, go for it. John L has the Panasonic one for £94.99 so that would give you another £5.01 to play with :)

    So, bank £50, pot the £5.01 and buy the £94.99 breadmaker

    And in other news, I potted £1 in my own pot and some smash in DD's charity box :A

    Hi Ladies and Gents,


    Been potting "odds and ends" over last few weeks, but in addition had my second lot of surgery to remove cancer cells last Thursday and feeling fantastic. So fingers crossed no more surgery and that will be the chemo and surgery boxes ticked and done.......radiotherapy here I come in January - woo hoo :)

    Evening

    Great news Nell. Glad you feel fantastic :D long may the feeling continue xx




    I potted £1.36 today.

    Hope everyone is well

  • Hello everyone :D....

    The shop's open now and DW's happily doing, what she does :beer:. Was weird going in to see her and not having to fix, build, or do something.

    Tink, tink, tink, tink... That's the sound of my stupendously large contribution to the pot made today :eek: - that's right seventeen pence :A :D :A.

    Hope you've all had a good day ;).

    Happy Potting everyone :j.

    There will be changes to Member Nos here on SPC any day now.

    Due to a lot of members having not bothered to return to SPC over the last 2 or more years, I've decided that it's best to take them from the list which means you all will now have different numbers as a result. It will not be any great problem to you and will simply mean changing the number on your signature. Please bear with me while the changes take place.

    Thank you all so much. Sue x


    A very warm welcome
    , Meowhouse. It's lovely to have you with us. :grinheart Enjoy yourself saving, posting and joining in 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.

    You're doing so very well, mumof3plusoh, good for you. ;)

    Don't question it too deeply, KittyBoo, congratulate yourself for doing so well.

    I noticed that this afternoon, jakes-mum, very well done! Not totally sure what it means (just had a quick look) but you must have done something right to deserve it. :T

    That's DD on her way then, MissE, at least it's started. Good luck to her.

    Good potting, 32b3.

    nu1isit? that is absolutely fantastic news! :T I am so thrilled for you as you work so terribly hard for your precious family. Congratulations to your dear Wife and may it be a great success!! :j


    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

    I potted £1.80 today.

    I then spent just shy of £20 in the pub when out for a Christmas do but I'm glossing neatly over that... :o hic!

    Hi everyone! I hope everyone's okay :)

    Just popping by to say my OH potted 20p this evening. Not potting much, but I dare say things should improve by the other side of Christmas, fingers crossed. I doubt I'm the only one struggling this month!

    I've had ever such a busy few days. I bought my wedding dress on Saturday and also went to collect a headpiece I won comping on here. Today I had a job interview and I've been working hard on my OU work as I have an assignment due in 9 days, which I haven't even started on yet!!!!

    :hello: newbies GREAT to see you on here


    New number Sue-UU? Think some of the long-term members will be able to give up their 'lifetime' numbers gracefully? should I predict a riot to quote a phrase? Seriously it's a big task to take on this near Chrissy - wish I could help - and I think you're a :A

    Think I'd put it in the holding pot and have a good look around for offers on breadmaker - don't forget post Chrissy sales not far away now ;) then divvy up remainder afterwards between pot and bank :j


    Well I want to give my DH a big :kisses3: as I was on my course today and didn't have time to do kitchen before I left. Under a bit of pressure as last assignment Wednesday and I'm like a rat in a box at the moment. When I came home - voila ! kitchen done bless him when he came home from work :A


    Sorry I digress but he deserves a mention. Potted my POUND today and it went chunk - very nice :rotfl:


    Hope you all have a Terrific Tuesday
