Morning all

SPC Member 317 is declaring £82.81 potted. Not bad considering I joined late. Soooo close to my target!

Do we keep our member numbers for next year?

A GREAT amount for you, EMMAP!!!!!!! :j:T:j As you said - so close to your Target and so well done given when you joined. Shows what can be done when trying hard!!!!! and YES, you do keep our member numbers for next year!!


Whilst I remember myself: A whole £881 saved by the UU household!!!!! :j:T:j Chuffed to ruddy bits with that given the expensive year hubby and I have had, but we've saved well over the last few years - and what a blessing!!!!!!! We are both quite cockahoop!! :j Amazing what saving can do!

I am so very happy for, EVERYONE, and I'm soooo TERRIBLY proud of you ALL!!!!! :dance:

NB, all SPC savers: Next November's opening day will be the 5th November

PLEASE folks, do ensure your correct Nos are on your siggies!! Many of you have ones from the old list which makes things more difficult for me.

Please check the 2nd Post of the 1st page! IF you're not there please let me know as I had to change the entire membership list early in the year so you may be missing, but that can soon be sorted out.

An important note from girlatplay, folks: "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.

Anyone wishing to join, it's NEVER too late, so please just ask, you're more than welcome. :grinheart

I banked £650 through the year :T very pleased. I've been spending a bit on my credit card lately so I've just paid that off, and the rest will cover groceries for December.

I plan to start January with a zero balance on my credit card!

Thanks to all who keep the thread going its a great idea!

I can't believe that it's counting day!!! And I can't open my tin with my tin opener :-( lol

SpiralingDown

I counted my pot last week (£55) and was disappointed until I remembered that I hadn't potted anything for roughly the first 4 months of this year due to hospital admission then being too off my head with pain meds to even shop :eek::rotfl:
I can certainly say I made up for it in September/October when I had DSes school trip to save for by selling lots and saving £755 in just over a month!!

Including those savings, my banked savings and my pot I'm declaring
£1100
Just a pity I didn't meet the £500 banked but considering I had to dip into that a few times I'm very pleased with what I managed

I'd like to keep the same target (£500) for next year please Sue x

girlatplay

#216 in to declare £73.89.

Considering that is just change I have "popped" in the pot over the year, no extra effort, I am pleased with that.

I am most pleased with the fact that I have managed to keep up with the thread ALL YEAR!! I have had big problems with Internet connection over the past couple of months and I keep finding that when I log back in all the "Thanks" that I have given people have "un-Thanked" so apologies if I have missed anyone, it was not on purpose.

Thanks to Sue for keeping us all in order and to everyone here for keeping morale up. Looking forward to SPC8!!

Hi all,

Hummingbird checking in to declare grand total of 403.89!!!

It seems no time at all since I joined this thread last November, so hopefully this will inspire me to remember how quickly the next counting -up day will come round next year too, and help me save more!!

Well done all - it will be amazing when it's all added up!

I'm so happy you mentioned that, Ruth, as it's always worried me silly that members would think it's me who holds back or summat daft. Bless you for that. VERY WELL DONE your Mum, ask her if I count?!!! :rotfl:

Oh Sue you are silly. You know how lovely everyone here is. Noone would blame you or anyone else! However, it is exciting so we can't help being impatient!! I'm sure you're the same.

Hmmmm Crimson....A challenge to ask you questions so you have to Pot This is right up my street!! LoL....Soooooooo.....Ummmm.....Do you have a Target for next Year? How did you meet your wonderful lovely gorgeous Man? Are you going on Holiday anytime soon? What are you doing for Christmas?

Is that enough questions for you hun? Now you HAVE to Pot something!! :P :P :P

Haha, thank you love. I think i'll have to drop you a PM, not done so in a while. I don't want a smack bum from Sue for chatting on here too much :A


I am loving reading everyone's totals and how happy everyone is I also love that others keep their precious roadkill separate too

40p potted for me. It has been sat on the table a while, at least half is my OH's but i'll tell him i have taken it as payment for keeping the dog entertained all morning haha.

I have also found my first roadkill of the year 2p under the vending machine at work. So happy!!

I know you're right, Ruth, everyone is so lovely here, I just get so hyped up waiting and waiting and waiting to put the GT on. I'm glad it's not just me that gets a but teed off hanging about, that's why I try to get folk to join in the thread so they keep it in mind.

Yes, you'd better think on that one with nattering! Nah, it doesn't worry me - so long as you mention something that you' potted. After all, if jakes-mum can natter on and on all day then why not you two as well. (Just don't tell her said that!!! :shocked:)

Ere, I lost that 2p...give it back d'you hear!!!!! :rotfl: Nice one with your OH's half!!

My target is £1000 but with you on the case i can see myself far exceeding that :rotfl:
My Mr works at Tropical Birdland. My parents are friends with the owner so go there every Saturday. I have known Matty for probably getting close to 10 years. We have both dated other people but have never been single at the same time. When we finally were we just ended up together. I have had a crush on him for most of those 10 years
We haven't got a holiday planned. I'm not really the holidaying type but Matt is so he'll no doubt want to go somewhere soon.
Matt and i are spending our first Christmas together (and my first away from my parents). We plan to cook together, watch films, FaceTime everyone and be happy!!

Done.... *Searches for money to pot* £2.80 emptied from my purse into my pot (well my potting purse ready to be potted)

Well then you can take losing that 2p as a lesson learnt! Maybe you'll be more careful with the pennies in future!! You'll never be a millionaire leaving your change lying around!!!

Goodness, however you got the total you did with that attitude i'll never know....... :kisses3: Just kidding of course
