Put it this way, Westie, the closing date (yes, the 5th) has been at the bottom of each of my posts all this year. I wonder if you're ahead of yourself with the 6th being the day we re-start SPC 9. Whatever the reason, not to worry, Westie, at least you finally took notice :idea: and now know that the day for declaring will be next Thursday - the 5th.

Re the Brownies........who's taking care of who?!!! :rotfl:Only joking, but I reckon you know that. Be careful of that hip!

Enjoy your Tuesday, folk, a wet one, but..! Keep in mind there are.......only 9 :eek: saving days to go!!! :dance:

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

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

Who knows, but I'm on the same page now lol...

I will be careful and I do remind them every week 'do a good turn every day' which means please help me to get my shoes off and bring me a chair...

They are very helpful actually I'm sure we will all work well together, I have two other leaders coming too, so I'm sure it will be fine, when we get there and get it all set up (the boring bit)..

Im definitely going to need that hot bath at the end of it, I have taken the rest of November off to recover lol... (*no holiday time left to book in the diary so managed to get 21 days in a row)..

At least mine were adults, and therefore supposed to be able to look after themselves :rotfl:
You're a brave woman!

Had to use my card with Am@zon yesterday to buy a leaving present - which means I've got the cash - including 5 £2 coins! It's the law that you have to pot those, yes? :T
Can't wait for the count-up

I am either brave or silly.... (I love being brown owl, they are just the right age to still idolise you and want to stand next to you and hold your hand)..

Yes its the law indeed I read it :-)

Hello everyone :wave:

Been lurking for a while but hoping to join in the next round, if that's OK? My pot will be full of coppers and small change (mostly roadkill and wallet-raids from DH) but it would be good to have a small stash on the build up to Christmas.

OK Lynne, let's get our days synchronised. I make it (including today) 9 actual days saving as Thursday is D for declaration day - right? So, from tonight onwards it'll be 8 or am I away with the fairies? Anyone responding to that rudely will be for the naughty step!!!

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

Sorry Sue - didn't mean to cause confusion. You are correct of course as I was counting D day to when we open our pots. So unless any late person pots in the next hour or so


POTTERS - YOU HAVE JUST 8 POTTING DAYS LEFT !! :rotfl:


So another £1 in the pot !!


Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday
Nighty-night

You've hit the nail right on the head, TheDapster, failure to do so is.....Mmmm....! Ah, I know, to be on the naughty step until about the 10th of November hence missing out on all the excitement!!! :rotfl:As if!!! You sound so excited about it all and it's a real joy to hear.

Good potting, Chutney!

I see, 32b3, and how fortunate they all are, but tell you what, to fulfill that fetish of yours...how about buying all mine as well!!!!! :rotfl: I know - NOT! Can't blame a girl for trying.

That was a rotten trick to pull, Hicksy!!! :mad: I'd have been livid so I can well understand that you were. Thankfully you have little Jack to help console you, bless him. :A

Don't you worry, Westie, just testing you out to make sure you're as daft as the rest of us - you passed with flying colours!!!

Not to worry, Lynne, I honestly thought last night that it was me and was puzzling over it at 5.45 this morning! I know what you're thinking, daft [STRIKE]bu*ger[/STRIKE] twit in doing so! BTW, Thanks for all your help. :kisses3:

Goodnight folks and have a lovely Wednesday, and don't forget there are.......only 8 :eek: saving days to go!!! :dance:

Yesterday I forgot :doh:.
So tonight I remember to pot the tower of coins that has been sitting on my kitchen bench since I updated my budget and receipts on Sunday : £11.51 added to the pot,including 9x£1 coins :j.
Isn't this sooooooo exciting!!!!!!:j:j:j:j
