evie189 - please note that instead of giving you the following No on the list I've given you No 123 I'm sure that member would have returned by now, but if she does, she can have a new one. You've made a good start, keep it up and your Target is on!

A gold star to you, Lynne, and thanks for sorting evie out with all the details. :staradmin BTW, I like the revered bit!! :A

I know you're away with your Grandkiddies, cattysmum, but I'm hoping you have an amazing time and stay free of this bally wind! The kiddies will love the break anyway, you too I'll bet.




Never mind, Seaotter, get your holding pot back up to a reasonable amount (blasted car park robbers! ) then get stoking your main pot again. Good luck with it.

I'm so pleased you've got your holidays booked, Lynsey, something lovely to look forward to, after Christmas too! Well done with the compensation. :j

An £8 cheese sandwich, Westie983??? :eek: Laced with diamonds too I s'pose! I hope you manage to get your money back from the electric, mine was easy last year and is now well saved!

I hope you've had a wonderful time, 32b3, and really enjoyed your time off. Not long til the weekend for you!! :j

Good for you with the mini win, Chutney, better luck going higher next time.



Helloooo again Lynne!! :hello: It's great to see you back and know, bar the purse incident, you've had such a lovely time. It sounds great having been to all 3 countries, brilliant!

Thanks for the heads-up to everyone about the £5er site, Lynsey, best have a gold star for helping us all. :staradmin

Brilliant saving, scotmumof3!!! :j All best wishes and thoughts for your DH with his throat.

I'm so sorry to hear about your smashed tea cannister lid, jakes-mum, I know what that's like. I also understand what wayward lads are like, but they get passed it all...one day! Time to look forward to that holiday now.

To your answer about were we like it, Modesty......NO, never! I was a good girl I was. :rotfl:


Very well done with your win, savings my hobby!


What a nice gift that cash was, Baby Angel, fingers crossed for more thoughtful times for you. BTW, being promoted from Moneysaving Convert to Moneysaving Stalwart is definitely something to celebrate by potting cash!! :j No, Westie's PPPPPP post is not a challenge...only to herself. I wouldn't say she's potty, though puggled might be more the word to go for. :rotfl:




Merry, both buts of news are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! :T:j:T I'm really thrilled for you, especially the first one!!! Long may you remain healthy!!

Great saving, NotNormal! For someone not normal you're doing pretty darn well here on SPC!!


Good to hear you're still on the potting horse, Vicky, stay put!




All done, kartingmad, now do your very best in reaching it...or getting VERY close! :dance:

It's wonderful to hear you feeling so much better, Helen, I'd go for it being your Dr upping your Thyroid Medication as it always affects me like that whereas I'm always feeling low when it's down. I'm delighted to hear you so happy about Easter, you'll have a wonderful time with the family. Drive safely both ways!


I'm so happy for you re the cheque, Daddybear! Well done on saving it, you'll be so pleased to you did later on. :j


Well done on having such a great time in the Peaks, Dragon Lily, are you knitting for anything special?

Excellent saving/banking, Lizzie, you're done marvellously - so far!!

Sorry to keep you all waiting lately, Potters, things aren't going too good lately and I can't always think straight let alone concentrate. Not that I'm ever capable of either.

Have a lovely evening and super Wednesday, SPCers! Save well as and when possible!!

Sue x

NB: SPC Savers: 5th November will be the new 2015 opening date!

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

Hi Sue

I knitted a top last year but when I came to assemble the 2 front sections the arms were slightly out:( Had to take them both out and re-knit:( Just the button panel and neck to do then I can get back to my favourite knitting - socks. Good news - a local shop has accepted some of my knitted socks and accessories etc for sale (although they do take 40% cut) :eek:

Potting just £1.50 today.

eveie189

Thanks for the number Sue and thanks everyone for the help in starting this challenge. Have now popped it on my sig.

Another £3.71 potted today after sending DD to the shop sweet treats. She spent less than normal so in the pot it went.

Lynsey

Evening all.

Sue, wishes to you and sorry to hear things aren't going too well. Hope it's short term, very short term. Thanks for that star.

Helen, enjoy your break, along with anyone else going away of the Easter period.

Potted 6 x £1 coins and that's me over the £400 mark - No April Fools joke either!! lol

Weather has been horrible up here at times, wind, hail and occasional snow flurries!! March was still rather mild though, so not to many complaints!! Hope April is good and perhaps more sunnier days.

Good evening lovely potters,

Many thanks for all the well wishes & congratulations- left me here with a daft grin on my face & a bit of grit in my eye!!!

I've managed to pot a bit of loose change today including a shiney £2 coin and my very first bit of road kill 1p!

((Hugs)) to those that need them, esp. Sue

Still on the potting horse here, Sue-UU :A Going away next week, so there'll be a tiny pause in the potting though.

Potted £1.06 in bits of change. :beer:

Westie983

£10 potted from me today, yipeee, Blasted wind has got right to my bones today I still have cold feet now :-(

today was my second to last day before I fly to climates slightly warmer than here, looking forward to it, today has been a busy day for me, still can't get my head around why people leave it till the very end of the tax year to open an ISA and fund it, where have they been for the other 360 days of the year..... it goes crazily busy every ISA year end but I just don't get it.

I supoose being busy today meant the day went quicker and I collected my holiday money and drove back to finish my packing - Im sure to have forgotten something but I'm sure I can live without it, passport is packed thats the important bit....
