Morning all, just popping in to wish you all well during the final few days - last full week coming up.
Welcome to newbies - good luck with your savings. It's never too late and ready to start next years challenge.
Please take Sue's advice and don't use those coin counting machines that charge you!! Make sure you have plenty of money bags and you can use scales to count if wanted - once you've counted and weighed your first bag (of each denomination), you know what to aim for.
Some great potting going on, please keep it up and make Xmas as painless as possible.

Gooooooooooooooooooooood Morning Potters!
10 DAYS TO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
For any coeliacs on the thread, Mr T have got their 3 for 2 offer on all their gluten free items until the 22nd November, will be off in the week to do my 6 monthly stock up
I do get some strange looks going through the tills with about £50 of G/F biscuits and cake but its darned expensive so I try to get enough to last DS through to the next 3 for 2 offer (as it does seem to be the only item they put on 3 for 2 and not bump the price up first!) DS is looking forward to his goodies as he's just got through the stuff I got in may
I have lots of shiny silver coins in my purse which will be potted as soon as I can be bothered to get out of this chairSPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000 -

I had slowed right down on potting so decided to do my count tonight and start the new pots off for the next challenge.
Being my first time I was optimistic I might make £150 but to my amazement my total is £232.63 :T
Will add to my sig and declare on the correct day.
£34 in £2 coins will go straight into my 50th birthday fund £2 pot which has 2 years and 4 months to grow.
More than I expected and Xmas shopping done so will put in savings account so I am not tempted to dip into it until I decide how this money is going to enhance my life.
