Hi all,

Hope everyone' spotting is going on very well.

I am potting as much I can.

Sue I am after an advice or anyone else who can help. I know I am being naughty but for practical reason asking this.

I am expecting my first baby on 14 December and hence the potted funds will be used for baby shopping rather than a holiday

So I was wondering if I can open my pot up on 28th of October than wait until November last week as it will be too late to do the shopping.

What do you guys say ?
Happy potting everyone :j

Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. PS. We always empty our pots and declare our savings near the end of November please make a note of this year's date: 27th Nov.

*Please pop your numbers on your sigs it really helps.

Apologies to everyone: Hubby and I had a terrific holiday with DD, DD & her family, such fantastic weather apart from torrential rain at night and very high winds with Bertha! DGS learned how to surf, the younger 2 learned how to do body boarding and we all had great fun. THEN I came back to a LOT of awful trouble with my computer and just couldn't use it, I even thought we'd have to buy another but......I believe (no, hope) with DH's sorting and TLC it's ok now.

BTW, eldest DGS passed his re-sit today and we're all so chuffed for him!! :T :kisses:Our middle DGS had his GCSE results and achieved 2 A stars, 3 As, 5 Bs and 2 Cs!!!! :T :kisses:

.......ssh........trying to tiptoe in!!!!!!!

Hello! Forgive me Sue for I have sinned!!!!!!! I have neglected this thread, can you ever forgive me????? LOL

You've sinned all right, Emily, but it's good to see you back, especially with such good news of your Hubby! Excellent work, but I do hope his knee is able to improve. I really do hope your DS1 is improving now that he's at last got the help he needs.

Hi Determined diva, just in case the PM I've sent you gets mislaid, please change your SPC No around for me as it's now 234, so if you could update your siggy I'd be very happy.

bmma, the same for you as Determined diva please. I've also sent you a PM.

Why not start quilting now, little_sweetie, it's never too late and you can go at your own pace. Go on, be a devil!

....oh and one more piece of good news......I have found an absolutely wonderful fella who adores me (surgery scars and all)......life is such a lovely thing and feeling very very blessed

That's fantastic news, Nell, I'm thrilled to bits for you!! :j So pleased you've enjoyed some well-deserved holidays too!

Splendid news about the £500 saved so far, blue_mango!!


Good to see you, Bambisbelle, I'll resist saying - about time too!

Oooh nasty, Merrylegs...uti's are sooooooo painful! Not to worry about the CP money, it could have been worse.

That's some amazing potting, jakes-mum, you sure you didn't charge the in-laws an exit fee???! :rotfl:


GREAT NEWS about DH's FT job, Lynne!! Excellent work with your stopped smoking fund too! Be VERY proud of yourself! :T

Just a quick update on my SPC. For the first time in my four years doing this, I have had to find another pot....I finally filled one up :j:j

That's just fantastic news, Fiasco, maybe you could now update your new SPC No to celebrate - please?! Just heard, thanks a lot.


You're still doing marvellously, Lynsey!


That's not being mean with your DS, moohound, that's sensible! :j


All best wishes with the £500 Target, Helen!!


CONGRATULATIONS on shifting that debt, LAM, marvellous news!!!!! :T


I'm so chuffed at your news, mumof3plusoh, and don't forget - when you're ready to start SPC again.........!

I'm getting a bit worried about counting up day. If Sparky doesn't come back, what are we going to do?

Not to worry, Modesty and little_sweetie, IF sparky doesn't return then I can cope with my dear hubby, he's great at maths! However, I'm sure sparks will make an appearance before long. I noticed he hadn't been on for ages before I went away, but I'll e-mail him in a day or two - now I'm able to!


WONDERFUL to hear from you again, ETO!!! I'm so pleased you're still saving, but guess with working this year you won't be one of Sue's angels and helping Modesty this Christmas!! Only joking, Modesty will still be with me - I hope!

I hope you had a great time on holiday too, Saver-upper.

(As if by magic she appears) Of course you can, Loveactually...well, so long as you keep us in the loop regarding your little treasure! That's not a problem at all, just please be sure to include your Total on opening up day - or on your siggy for me please. Have a lovely birth, the 1st is fantastic! :A

Enjoy the rest of your day, sealed potters,and have a lovely evening. Most of all - keep right on saving as time's swiftly passing by.

I hope your evening's a good'n, all SPCers, save VERY hard now!
