Hi everyone:wave: Can I please join in got my tub at the ready and the purse is poised. Going to aim for £250.

A very big and warm welcome and good luck with joining this completely crazy lovely group of savers.


OOOh Thanks Sue-UU. A lovely shiny star - just in time for Chrissy :j


What a wonderful total jakes-mum. Very well done :dance: :dance: but I am not going to succumb. I have got DH to put my pot on the top of the kitchen cupboard where I can't reach it and will have to use a holding pot for the next eight days :rotfl:


Hope you all have a truly inspiring Tuesday
Lx

jakes-mum - what an AMAZING total! Well done!

55p potted this morning and some silver yesterday (can't remember how much

5th November for next year is fine by me!

Lynsey

Welcome to more new members - great time to join and ready for next year (full-time). Good luck with all your savings.

jakes-mum - well done, a great effort. Enjoy all your hard work.
Good luck to all, no matter how much you have saved. It all helps ease the pain at this time of the year.

As the actress said to the Bishop - "Keep it up".

Ahh, ty ladies, totally enjoyed the count up and had to laugh as DH HUD the £2 coin tins till we had done the shrapnel ones and then slowly put them in front of me and moved away saying 'I'm assuming you don't want help with these ones?' there was £408 in £2 coins :eek: no wonder I was struggling to find any

I was not so impressed when I had to carry it all upstairs again in a washing basket :rotfl: it was bloomin heavy!

Ooo a blog, that's an interesting idea 'thoughts from the SPC naughty step' :rotfl:

ahhh Sue, I'd have to pay someone to take my two off me, and even then they'd return em for a refund :eek:

Oooo did I mention? I won a double bed frame last week on the comps board was quite chuffed with that one :j and had a WEM saying I've won a load of alcohol free fruit drinks which I thought would be nice for crimbo, especially as I don't drink (I mean really! Could you imagine what I'd be like on alcohol?!? Just say NO J.M! Biker grove had it right with you )

Keep going everyone! Only 8 days to gooooo (or 350 odd if your like me )

P.s welcome to the newbies :wave:
