Hi,

As it's my last week at work before I start meter nitty leave going to be a bit busy so opened the pot today. Well chuffed that I could save more than my target. I would like to continue with the same target next year also sue £1500.

£12 will go into next pot and £1700 into bank:T

Sue-UU

NB everyone!
Unlike sparky I have not been able to take any banked amounts from your sigs, I'm trusting that you'll all be able to give me the entire sums you've saved when you declare on the 27th. Thanks a lot folks.

I never check the amount as I'm putting in the pot - I love the surprise at the end of the year :rotfl:

Total amount = £612.30 :j

A simply excellent lot of savings, Tiptoppex!!!!! :j:T:dance: Little wonder you're in shock, very well done indeed!! Thanks to you I did what I've wanted to for at least a couple of years, and brought count-up day earlier to the 5th November. So, thank you kindly for your push.

Hi, just £1 potted today, went out to do some shopping, Ts, Asda, Lidl, usual places and last shop was Lidl, knew I needed a £1 for the trolley, I managed to scrape some loose change together and a lady swopped it for a £1, which is now nestled snugly in my pot after doing its job in the trolly. I keep meaning to get a trolly coin, but I always end up losing them. Not long now.

Why bother getting the coin, cattysmum? :eek: Use the £1s instead then save them after! Far better idea.

Loveactually that is just incredible!!!!!! :j:T:j I bet you are just absolutely thrilled at what you've achieved and so you should be!!! I've already sorted out your new Target on the SPC 8 thread and have every reason to believe you'll fulfil it!

What a day, what a night, and everyone so happy with their lot, I'm so very, very happy for ALL!!

Sue x


Enjoy Monday, folks, the last before the 27th!! :dance:

Please ensure your correct Nos are on your siggies everyone!

Thanks for the :laugh:


Potted £7.20 over the weekend into my 'holding' pot - proper pot still on top of kitchen cupboards :rotfl:


Beginning to wish I'd opened mine now


Oh well, not long to go eh. Hope you all have a magical Monday

Keep trying to get OH to bring money bags back from work so I can start counting and he keeps forgetting!!!

I can't go to the post office and I don't have anywhere near me to get them from, his work is my only hope. If he forgets tonight I'm going down there myself, good job I used to work there too!

Potted about £14 yesterday

Morning everyone! I've been a bit absent from the challenge this year but fully intend to be more involved next year. I counted up my pot last night and adding that to the stuff I've already banked, I would like to declare £157.34 for pot #24.

Well done to everyone this year, I'm sure the total is going to be bigger than ever and we can smash it again next year!

I'm not sure if I say this every year so apologies if I repeat myself every 12 months but I bank with Bank of Scotland and they accept as many change bags as you have, as long as you take them to the business banking counter. Thought that might be helpful for some folk

I'm trying to make my bags up to full at the moment. I only have 3 that are not full. I have already raided Little Miss Gap's change stashes (yes, plural!) but they have been exhausted now. Just for the record, I asked her permission and I swapped her, I didn't just steal from her!

Thanks Sue I have two pots on the go until 27th as I don't want to open the cupcake and have an idea what I have saved :rotfl:
I know it won't be too much this year but something is better than nothing I look forward to putting it in to saving
Found some 2p's and 1p's whilst cleaning the junk drawer out yesterday so I have chucked them in.

System

Wow some amazing potting going on!
Have potted £4 after a lovely wet weekend away - might open my pot tonight since so many other people are declaring early - I have no willpower!
Keep up the good work everyone

Another £3 in the pot over the weekend. Looking forward to Thursday!
