Nothing left over from the crazy but brilliant hen weekend :D 39p ready to go in the pot when I get home though as I bought milk for work. Keeping other change for Little Miss Gap's lunch.

Welcome savingdad :hello:

Looking forward to joining in, one question about certain funds counting towards the challenge, I'm a team leader at work and quite often someone asked if I can lend them a tenner till pay day or something and I normally do, when they pay me back I normally stick it in my pot on the assumption I didn't miss it in the month I got paid so I can save it.
Is this OK to add into my challenge total?

can't see any reason why not, we pot anything from money saved from fuel savings up to cashback on purchases etc. Only thing I know is a no-no is things like inheritance.

Have a read of post one on page one as that should tell you all the things you can include in your pot

Oh and welcome to the SPC challenge :wave:

Welcome savingdad.


£1.61 potted today. I tried to get a train from Paddington today to go on a work visit. I waited for over an hour and decided to abandon the trip.

Hi savingdad.

Hope everyone is well, just a flying visit. £3.60 potted today. Feel chuffed with myself as that's the most I've potted in one go since I started.

Potted £2 today, a day off work so that's the money saved in fuel.

Hi all, can I join late in the day please, I have my pot that I have been filling since new year but it would be nice to have an added incentive.
Looking forward to seeing how much is in my tin this year.
Thanks

A gold star to, Lynsey, and thanks for that initial welcome. :staradmin

A gold star for you too, jakes-mum, :staradmin as you're right about the cash savingdad can pot, though...if he'd looked at post 1.......!

Hello everyone. Long time again since I've visited I'm afraid - I'll stop promising to visit more often as it doesn't appear to happen...so I'll just say that I am aware the date is rapidly approaching. Yippee!!!

A special hi to Sue :wave:

Hello to you too, Eyebright and tatabubbly! Good to see everyone getting ready for the big count-up!!!!! :j

Well done, EMMAP, that's a great achievement!!!!!

Brilliant saving, EVERYONE!!! Whether it's a little or a lot, it's far better off in your pot!!!!

Right, off shopping now and may see you later.

Have a lovely Tuesday, Potters, keep saving hard....with just 8 weeks to go!!

Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome.

Savingdad

Thanks for that, I did read the first post but couldn't see anything about repaid lending and didn't want to assume everything I pot could be counted.
As I have a bit of a reputation for being frugal amongst my friends and workmates I tend to be their first port of call for a top up although I always follow my mums rule of never lend more than you can afford to lose,
Thanks for the welcome and I look forward to November time.
