My £338 from last challenge has come in handy as my car has just failed it MOT :mad:

That's such a rotten shame, sexyshark, but thank goodness you're able to pay for it! So sorry to hear.


Excellent 32b3in2013, you've done all I'd ask anyway. :j

Oh dear, mossy, I said yesterday you'd had a tough year, but my word, I at least thought you were in and pretty much ok even though work still had to be done, an understatement for sure. Still, nothing worth having ever came easy and you can surely at least say it helps in bonded easier perhaps? :rotfl: Then again, too close for comfort! Oh well, things can only - I sincerely hope - get better. Fingers crossed for some good memories too! Aha! Just seen your perfect welcome to loopychriss, a gold star is yours. :staradmin


As mossy said, shiningfaery, YES!! Thanks again, mossy!and yes, little_sweetie also said it's free listing this weekend. :T

Oh, go on, Piquant, be a devil and draw a little out, it's for a great cause!


First class news, redmel, good to hear you're with us.

You're right about those Totals, Modesty, (thank you), but we want LOTS more! :embarasse


Glad you're here, Jackies.


Very shrewd, dinglefoot, you did well in staying true to your MSE life.

Hi Sue-UU, Now I've given it a go in 2013, I'm looking forward to continuing in 2014 (especially now that I've got the hang of the Holding Pot versus the Sealed Pot. Onwards and upwards!!

I am so pleased it's worked out so perfectly for you, cdm, I've had more good reports about it too.

Thanks Sue, is my siggie clearer now?

Absolutely perfect, lemonpopsicle, thanks a million! :T


You save as you wish the coins, gottogo, we're just glad you're saving.

Hiya Rosy! You took your time!

One good turn and all that, LeopardPrintsAndTea, but she throws money away???! :eek: Always be behind her wherever she is! :rotfl:


Many thanks once again for katmum's lovely welcome, mossy, you have to stay with us!! :j


You're right, scuba, you have neglected the thread, but you're forgiven if you're going to make up for it.


Hooray, you're back again then, loxxee!


Oh dear, LC 2, and there was I thinking we'd found a quiet spot...oh dear.:( jakes-mum you say, I think she's left. :rotfl: Well, one can only hope [STRIKE]so[/STRIKE] not. Good to have you, but are you serious about only £700?!

I've already done so after reading your post on SPC 6, ChristmasCarol, all the best with it.

Have a very good night all, see you tomorrow to continue saving

Well I found my first ever shiny roadkill 1p, and it's straight in my pot.

I still have £35ish left out of my shopping budget this week so we shall be having bread and water or a freezer lucky dip in my house this weekend so I can feed my pot not the children. My OH say's I'm getting a bit obsessed with my pot, I have no idea what he's talking about!!;)

Right,I have spent abit of time today counting up money and bagging it to bank this week.
Loose coins left-over after this little exercise totalled £4.17 :my first pot :money:

My 4yo daughter decided for me which of my two tins was for which: the jelly-bean tin is for silver and bronze (£3.17 today),cakes tin is for gold coins (£1.00). Phew:glad someone around here can make a decision :rotfl:

While I was rummaging around for loose change,found a £10 in a not-opened-for-a-long-time box.I considered potting this note,but instead I have other plans for it !

Hey ! My quit day has been set. I come back from holiday on 5th Feb and not bringing back any duty frees :eek:


Just spent ages reading the end of the last year and must say CONGRATULATIONS to everyone :T :T :T Didn't you all do well !!!!


I have made myself a 'pot' from a finished tub of well-known washing stain remover and sealed with parcel tape. Put on my safety hat and yellow visibility vest, wielding a Stanley knife I cut a slot in the lid and presto !! :rotfl:


Starting the challenge with £38 in pot from November and so put this on my siggy. Hope this ok but I won't be keeping a count after today.


HAPPY ST ANDREW'S DAY EVERYONE AND THE VERY BEST OF LUCK WITH THIS SUPER NEW CHALLENGE.

Morning all - found roadkill yesterday - can't remember if it was 1p or 2p though :rotfl:

Sue - can my target be changed from £2013 to £777 please ? I'm number 616 Thank you for your good wishes in the last thread - I'm sure I can achieve this total.

I hope everyone has enjoyed counting up their pots - here's to saving lots for next year :T

I'm going to aim for £500 this year and I'm going to be very strict with myself and use the sealed saving tins, once their filled they are going in the attic with the Christmas decorations because in the last challenge as they got full I counted them up, banked the money but then I ended up dipping into the savings.
