    All sorted for you, Lynne, best wishes with getting it. A :xmassign: for you too.

    You're quite right, AlwaysHappy, there's a real feeling about SPC 8s commencement.....could it be a fab year for ALL!! Here's hoping so! :j
    OH left his change on the table when we came home from an evening out tonight.Lots and lots of gold coins :j,I snaffled one £1 coin for the pot :o.

    .....and the rest, Saver-upper?!! Only joking as I guess you knew he'd know then it was all gone instead of thinking there "just may have been more" with only a £1 missing. Far better in the pot though!

    A splendid idea, savingdad! :D Though you didn't actually say you had potted anything! :(
    Have a goodnight, SPCers, and a good Thursday.

  • Nipped in to Sainsburys for a pint of milk and the self service machine gave me 4 £2 coins. I nearly fainted with glee. Have potted these along with a rogue 50p I found in my gym bag. I have also popped a £5 note in, which is my share of the winnings from the pub quiz we won tonight - I hope that is allowed Sue.

    Can I join please. I don't have a target, I just want to use a sealed pot for a year and see what I've been able to stash away at the end of it. Is that okay? Or do I have to have a target or anything? Thanks.

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


    Hoipolloi - No, you don't have to have a Target at all, some do so to spur them on, but it's up to the individual - I don't! ;) Do have a look at the 1st post for help as there's so much to guide you there. Enjoy saving!

    You're going great guns, Nix, I s'pose some of it's newbie enthusiasm, but I reckon you've become addicted!! I still LOVE potting after 7 years of it. Wallow in it and POT POT POT!!!!! :dance:

    :eek: I'm not at all surprised you nearly fainted, Glitterbaby, I'll bet you nearly skipped home too!!! :j Your £5er winnings from the pub quiz is perfectly ok to pot, it's no different to the Lottery etc, well done you!!! :T
