    A lovely £5 note in the pot today from another FB sale :j :j have 2 poorly boys today, DS got up and was making that 'unwell' sniffily noise, he hasn't done that since he was about 4 so I knew he really must feel bad. He has had a bit of toast but then went back to sleep so think he's feeling quite rough. DH looks like he has a cold brewing which is always bad news as he then gets Flu, so he's wrapped up in a thick fleece and the soup is ready for lunch to try and divert it before it starts!

    DD has gone off on a school trip in the pouring rain with her brothers waterproof jacket (4 sizes to big :o) a 'Tarzan' backpack that I won as I didn't think about how she'd carry anything until 7:30 this morning and some sun cream that the school insisted on :huh: :rotfl:

    Enjoy your friday everyone, im off to get some fruit and veg as them 3 have managed to much through the entire £15 worth from morries already :eek:

    Hi Newbie Josh, of course you can join us, we love new members here :D Our fearless leader Sue-UU will be along forth with to allocate you your very own, one of a kind, not to be swapped, lost, ebayed or forgotten SPC number. She will ask you to read the very first post on page one that has lots of fabulously useful information on it like what day we open the pots, what can be included in your sealed pot and stuff like that.

    She will also ask you to pop your SPC number on your signature (click quick links on the top green banner, select quick links, edit signature, type in the box and click save)

    Sparky, who is our resident [STRIKE]poster boy[/STRIKE] counter upper is currently AWOL but will no doubt return before we open the pots! To help him out, if you remove any money from your sealed pot, please pop the amount in your signature next to your number, as that means it wont get forgotten in the grand total in november :D

    As the DFW boards move so quickly you might want to subscribe to the thread so you don't lose us, you do this by clicking the thread tools button thats on the second green banner at the top of the page and selecting 'subscribe to this thread' then click confirm on the next page. To then find us again go to the quick links again and select subscribed threads.

    Now grab a pot and start saving all you can, oh and tell us all about yourself as we are very nosey round here ;)

    Thanks for reply, very helpful! Well I'm a 16 year old, living in the West Midlands who's just finished school. So trying to put the money I get to decent use and start saving it for the future, instead of p*ssing it up a wall like I have been doing for the past two years haha! ;)

    Your most welcome Newbie Josh, we're all happy to answer any questions you may have about the challenge or the site in general :D

    Decided it was finally time to stop being a chocolate bouquet and have changed my avatar to my boy :D bless him, all he wants to do is be with us now, keeps following everyone . . got a real thing for eating my bloomin socks though :rotfl: we've had to give him his very own one, so one of DD's old socks is now tied to his bars :rotfl:

    DS just gave me a £5er and im not sure whether to pot it or put it in my purse as £3 is from a bet he had with me (that he lost :rotfl: he really shouldn't bet mummy, she knows all) and the other £2 is the money he had to pay me back :think: I shall deliberate and update accordingly

    :hello: NewbieJosh hello and welcome - good for you starting with some savings - it's amazing how bits here and there can really soon add up, also as nobody else has told you yet - you need to be aware this becomes really addictive! :D

    Well I'm back home from my mini trip to Hubbies family and the amazing Hampton Court Flower show - spent a small fortune but got some bargains - including an amazing wooden rocking chair for the garden (really wanted one of those for the last four years and decided this was the year I was going to get one) remembering the ' live for today ' pledge I made to myself on the day I went into remission :rotfl:

    Managed to pot £2.39 plus two lovely £2 coins for the fat terramundi :T

    I have also decided that I am going to put away £3 per week ready for next years show and then I will have the monies for both the tickets and some lovely spends without feeling guilty or needing to flex the plastic:eek: so I have started with an old jam jar that just needs to be taped up
