    Good morning everyone
    I'm being bullied in work, they're making me work 12 hours Saturday & Sunday and paying me for it! :D

    Daily £3 waiting to be potted when I get home.

    Only 15 days to go until our [STRIKE]New York trip[/STRIKE] Shh! You know where ;) Don't tell LC2, Jakes-Mum or any of the girls where I'm really going they might be at the airport waiting for me to buy airline tickets for them :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    A warm welcome to our newest members, have fun & enjoy saving

    Stay safe & keep saving everyone :D

  • Well I finally managed over the £50-Mark this morning....I went out Shopping and had £1.08 leftover from my Shopping Trip so that has spookily taken me just over the £50-Mark!! :j

    Shall I aim for £75 before the end of the Year??? Why not!! :D

    If I don't "see" you before then Sparky...have a WONDERFUL time in *you know where*....Hope it's not too cold....bracing is the word!! :p I'm so in awe of how much you have saved for this Trip - You are an Inspiration to me!! :T

    is this the SPC for 2014?

    if so, can I join??

    I have some pots already: one for small silver, one for £2 and one for 50p. They don't have much in them at the moment but id like to join the thread and have a goal for December 2014


    Yes
    , this is SPC 7 (always check the 1st post of any thread to see what it's about) **sparkles**. A very warm welcome to you. :grinheart Have fun saving, posting and enjoying the banter. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 1of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. PS. We always empty our pots and declare our savings near the end of November, please make a note of this year's date: 27th Nov.

    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.

    Hi ladsmadd, lovely to see you and thanks for swapping you No over. My, you've got yourself sorted out, well done you and brilliant savings. :D
    I may not be able to post very regularly sue uu but I am always potting.

    Ok as I told before I had £35 in my purse and today is last working day until jan 6th and I saved £20 of them which are going into the pot.

    That's ok, Loveactually, but just pop in occasionally so we know you're still definitely with us. Great spending btw.

    Well done, Ruth, a very shrewd 'holding potting'. ;)

    Thanks re your No, Bambisbelle, have fun with saving and I've left a message on 6 for you.

    Ooooh, a lovely lot, ALM, a good idea with the surprise at the end.


    Hi skilly and well done.

    That's ok, Emily, it'll be more of a surprise that way. ;) At least he's with you in it.

    Don't worry, Helen, relax and enjoy living in between potting. :D You do so well these days anyway. I'm so proud of you! :)

    Well done, JustKaren, you'll get there soon enough.

    Christmas greetings to you also, Lynsey, have a lovely one.

    I've just had a quick look, jakes-mum, but can't find it. If you can remember your old No then I'll gladly check your Target for you and pop it on.

    You jammy devil, sparky. ooooooooh, not long to wait now then...but long enough for a whole lot of excitement to be built up. Brilliant :j...and coming back to a normal life this time!!!!! ;)

    WELL DONE, Helen!!! Well, my message above doesn't really matter now, but it might help in future. Go for the next goal, but don't get disappointed IF it doesn't quite work.


    PLEASE NOTE everyone: It's time to change your numbers now as they're all done and simply need swapping over. You'll see that 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. forums.moneysavingexpert.comPlease 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.


    Good night, everyone, sleep well and have a good day tomorrow, and stay warm.
    Sue x

    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.

            Some change in the pot today as OH left some on the side - now we all know that was a silly thing to do when you have a potter in the house!


            Only a few more days now till I get my new tin - hurrah, gotta wait till Boxing Day though and I guarantee my Mum will have forgotten to wrap it up so I'll have to remind her she's bought it for me, then off she'll go upstairs to try and remember where she put it!!
