    Hi Sue-UU & Potters!

    Well, I've opened my pots and totalled. I won't have time tomorrow or Thursday.

    My total is £334.65 :-). Sig updated.

    I'm well chuffed with that. Me & Mr owlet are away in a cosy cottage this Christmas (not very mse, I know but we desperately need the break), so that's my spending money sorted & the rest I'll put away.

    Next years pots are insitu & ready to go.

    I'll hopefully be able to get on here and post more too. Same as this year - no targets & not sure about keeping a tally yet! xx

    Thats a good point! I have a mini terramundi! Maybe I should start getting the money out of that one now as it might take me two days to get everything out without smashing it! Sue can't say no to that surely?!?!? :rotfl:

    ahh Sue, you have to remember that due to this years opening day being sooooooo much earlier, I had to open last years early to make sure I had enough potting days this year, so I've been waiting way way WAY longer than everyone else to open my tins! ;)

    Oh and in case anyone didn't realise . . .

    2 DAYS TO GOOOOOOOOOO

    Sue, I have my final total in my signature now. Wow a total of £415! Not potting any more on the "2015" pot. The 2016 pot is sealed and waiting. I have put in a pound to start it off. It looked so empty :-)

    I already purchased something with the money I saved. I got some gold jewellery. I think I can enjoy wearing it now and it will always be a good investment for the future. I would feel really guilty buying it with money from the bank account.

    Thanks Sue and all the others for your encouragement. Please count me in for the next challenge.

    That amount is just amazing, Baby Angel, congratulations to you on some serious potting!!!!! :j:T:j I can see what you mean about feeling far easier about using your savings from SPC instead of the bank, so wear it with immense pride!!! :happyloveYou're already in for SPC 9. :D

    Well done, siju.....but you're gonna have to wait!!!!! :D:D:D

    Well potted, Kerry....counting down those precious moments eh!! ;)

    WOW, some really brilliant pot-cramming done there, owlet, congratulations on a really healthy sum!!!!!!! :dance::T:dance: Oh, as much as I adore family Christmases, I do envy you with Christmas in a cosy cottage; be sure to thoroughly enjoy yourselves and...relax in each others love! :love: Whatever that means! :kisses2:

    Don't worry, Westie, you'll manage, but if possible try to use something other than a dinner knife; you need something like a slim ruler for quickest results. If you have nothing like it, then take it in stages and......we'll see when you declare next year!!!! :rotfl::rotfl: I've just seen your "Scuba Diving" pic, Westie, just a thought but in the struggle of getting your cash out, you could be winging your pot out to sea!!! :rotfl:
