My Friday gold coin collection from my purse. (ie any gold coins left on Fri get potted!). Went to my local market this morning for food shopping - love traditional markets, much cheaper than supermarkets. This week I have £1 x 4 (plus 50p x 2) left in my purse, so potting £5.
Have a fab weekend everyone:):staradmin Star from Sue-UU

Save Dosh - please note that instead of giving you the following No on the list I've given you No 112 I'm sure that member would have returned by now, but if she does, she can have a new one.As Ruth (crimson.addict) says - do include your £70 that you've already saved and save as you wish, either by keeping it all a surprise or keeping a running total.
A gold star to you for a lovely welcome, Ruth, and many thanks for being so thorough. :staradmin BTW get your derriere in gear and get potting by running up ad downstairs!
A Good Afternoon to you all, Potters. I hope you had a good night and slept well. Have a good Friday and a wonderful weekend! To all those not be feeling 100%, take great care and here's hoping you will be very much better soon. For now, here are some special {{{hugs}}} to help you through the ill/bad times. Take care, all SPCers, save cash as often as you can!
Superb saving, Kerry, and thanks for adding your banking Total to your siggy.
It's wonderful to see how adamant you are NOT to touch your savings, Nix, very well done, and I hope your hairy friend soon gets much better. Good to see you again.NotNormal wrote:Which is my £5 aim a week for this week and last week. And only £2.51 needed to reach next weeks goal :P I can do this!
Indeed you can, NotNormal!! So, keep up the great work and remember your "I can do this" words! :j
Good to see you popping in, Hicksy, even better to read that you've moving out!!!!!!!!!! :dance:Lovely to hear you're nesting...how long is it now?
It's good to know you're weight is rising, TMD, lovely to see you.
You sound extremely happy with all you've achieved, Saver-upper, I'm so chuffed for you; very therapeutic eh?! Well done on the FB sale.
Keep looking ahead, Helen! Sounds like a great day...GREAT savings for certain and you should be so proud!!!!!chasingthedream wrote:Hello fellow potters!
Am pleased to say I have potted £2 today after a busy week. I'd also like to announce the safe arrival of my daughter Lucy who was born on the 5th March (can't believe it Sue) weighing 7 pounds 7 ounces. She is a little Cutie and we are both doing well.Very many congratulationsto you, chasingthedream and to baby Lucy!!!!! :T:j:TSuch wonderful news! I guessed your absence was due to your little treasure making an appearance - and what a date to make your presence felt...I couldn't have chosen better myself!! You enjoy your little wonder, I bet your other darlings adore her just as much as you and your beloved.
Well done, siju.
Fingers crossed here for you too, Modesty!
Thanks for those, Lynsey, though....not picking up penny face down????!!!!! :eek: That would never apply to a hardened SPCer! :rotfl:
