    65p potted today....change from bus fare home from work. I didn't break the £5 in my purse today as I didn't need to buy anything so that's a bonus in itself but will be doing tomorrow so hopefully if I'm a savvy spender Bertie the coinpot shall be topped up once again

    Have a good weekend everyone. I'm working for all of it but that means I can't spend money I don't have

    Hope everyone is OK. Hope it's good weather wherever you are for the weekend

    Evening All :)


    Had a one of those really lovely Days....where everything just seems to go right....where people are just lovely....where everything works out....So I'm a content bunny at the moment :)


    I am also Potting £4.95 tonight (when I can be bothered to get up off my backside and go and Pot it :D)....So I'm really pleased with that....I only ever keep a track of any Notes that I have and any that I Bank....All the Coins that are in my Pot I have no idea about....well unless I went back over this Thread and added everything up that I've Posted about...But that would be a bit silly :D


    Missjec...You're doing brilliantly....And it's really great to see you Posting ;)


    Sue...Hope your OH is feeling a LOT better now...and that you have a wonderful Holiday....You definitely deserve it after everything you've been through this Year....take it easy and relax... :)


    Right...off to have a bite to eat and then either do some Work or Sleep now and THEN do some Work...not sure which yet...


    Catch you all later xXx :)

    hello :)

    long time lurker here wanted to join!

    Im not sure how much im going to be able to pot over the next few weeks as im skinto but definitely want to try and pot something.

    im one of those erratic spenders/savers. one minute im saving and sicking to a budget next minute im spending a months wages in a week. so I want to get back on track and sort out my budget. Christmas is sneaking upon me far too quickly!


    Hello there
    , missjec. A very warm welcome to you! :D It's lovely to have you with us. :grinheart Have fun saving and enjoy the banter. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on the 2nd post of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. PS. We always empty our pots and declare our savings in November, please make a note of this year's date: 5th Nov.

    Please also subscribe to the thread by clicking on "Thread Tools" (lower green bar) and clicking "Subscribe to this thread"...or you may lose us! To put your SPC No on, go to "Quick Links" (right side of top green bar), click and then click on "Edit Signature" and you're away. ;)

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



    missjec - maybe with a sealed pot way of saving you'll be able to change your ways and move ahead and get to fulfil your dreams in life. Next time you get tempted try asking yourself "do I really need this?!" If the answer is "..but I want it" then leave whatever it is on the shelf and leave it for a few days. With luck the temptation will gradually go and you can hang on to your cash and save! I wish you well..we all do! :D


    A lovely gold star for you, Lynne, :staradmin and thanks for an ideal welcome, though me - illustrious??! Don't think so.

    So good to hear about the TV licence rebate, jakes-mum! :j


    Good to see you, Glitterbaby, and I hope that the roadkill keeps on coming - AND - you do reach your Target!! :D

    Hope you have a lovely break Sue, I'm not going anywhere, just not going to work.

    Thank you so much, 32b3. Even if you're not going away, the break alone is lovely to have, enjoy yourself.


    Oh my word, mcjordi, that sounds sooo painful, what causes it...the heat? Whatever it is I really hope you soon get some relief from it and can get out again. Take care!


    A good job that wind wasn't as bad with you, Lynsey, or you'd have literally been blown away! :eek: It was terrible down here.


    What a win for you, Ruth, they must've known there was an SPCer amongst them, brilliant!! :D


    Excellent saving, Dragon Lily, so chuffed for you!!

    Yay! Great news, jakes-mum, so happy for you - good for Quidco.

    You keep well, Helen, and don't forget all that positivity! You sound so different these days and I'm so proud of you.

    Thanks for the wishes for DH, everyone, but he's MUCH BETTER now so the tablets work brilliantly!!!! As with a lot of things though the sooner you go to show someone the sooner it gets treated!

    Take care of yourselves, Potters, and of each other, and I have great faith in you all to keep things running smoothly. Any problems then please consult Lynne, Lynsey or jakes-mum, they are all aware of how things go - indeed I think it's fair to say you all are! Thanks a lot and see you after the 16th. :hello:


    Have a really great weekend and a good week ahead, everyone, and don't forget those pots!

    Sue x

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

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

    quote from Sue-UU
    So, will Ibiza be ready for you come September 17th then Lynne, doubt it but.....!


    I'm sure they will Sue - I've been going out there for about twenty years now and know loads of people. Love going out there to see them all and get some sunshine.
