Evening all.
ModestyB - good news regarding the MOT. Looks like it's been a good week for MOT's. Can't complain. lol
2 x £2 coins and 8 x £1 coins (including changed tenner) potted.
I'm well ahead of target and can afford a few quiet weeks now. I'll possibly ease off once I hit £400. I have some cashback to cash in shortly and will pot that once received - only about £25 - but it all helps.

A Good Afternoon to you all, Potters, and A Very Happy Mothers' Day to all Mums!!! I hope we're all spoiled and relishing our offspring's gifts of love! For those of us who aren't Mums, you all still have a special place in the world, so in many ways...it's your day too!! I hope everyone had a good night and slept well. Have a lovely Sunday everyone! 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 SPC {{{hugs}}} to help you through the rough times. Take care, all SPCers, save cash as often as you can!
Excellent potting, NobodysChild! You can be so happy with that lot!! :jThanks Sue for the number - I'm not going to be potting until Thursday onwards, as I'm on a Fiscal Fast for the week.
That's perfectly ok, Save Dosh, whatever makes you happy.32b3in2013 wrote:£3.12 potted today. It was originally £2.94 but my nephew just visited and I mugged him of all the change he had in his pocket Serves him right for coming round whilst I was thinking about money. (just so you don't think I have robbed a child, he is 18 and he didn't only have 18p on him, lol)
Shame on you, 32b3, that's shocking!
VERY well done!!!!! :jEverTheOptimist wrote:I haven't been around since end of Jan, but I've still been potting intermittently.
I am really going to make a concerted effort to read and post at least a couple of times a week again. I miss popping in and seeing how everyone is doing.
And belated birthday wishes to you sue. Hope you had a lovely day. Xx
It's wonderful to see you back with us, ETO....to see you're going all out to save as much as you can too!! I had a really wonderful day thanks.
Brilliant news about your MOT, Modesty!!! :j
Nothing's humble about £1.30, Hoipolloi, a few more like that and you're going great guns!
I see you're well on your way, Lynsey, you can definitely take it easy for a while.
Ooooh very good indeed, Chutney, you obviously relish saving and without it would be in a pickle! :rotfl: Sorry, couldn't resist.
Ok, supermum, good to hear you're doing things right!
GREAT SAVING, all SPCers!!!!
Right that's that up together which leaves me free this afternoon for whatever might happen!! Keep that saving up, folks!Have a super Sunday, SPCers, and A Very Happy Mothers' Day!! Save well whenever possible!!
