"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 8

Sue-UU

I'm unsure what to reply to that, Westie - 'can be easily led astray' might sum it up! Can be I said, remember, not is!

Hellooooo again, Ben! :hello: I'm really looking forward to see what you've saved, no high expectations, just that you always sound very keen. All the best.

OMG what amazing results coming in already, it's more exciting than the Eurovision song contest lol loving the excited posts really brightened a sad week just reading, on a more positive note I am hoping with all my heart to have potted enough so big bear can come home with us from toysrus and we have just £29.99 in the pot haha. I was thinking though, I am hoping for £30ish in the pot within 3 weeks of potting multiply by 12 that's a princely sum towards next Christmas eh, so really every penny does count ..

I'm not sure I like the idea of SPC being judged along side the Eurovision song contest, Justforme, sometimes watching paint dry is the better option. I've always got more pleasure from Terry Wogan's or Graham Norton's remarks, they're all I ever watch it for. However, I get your meaning and it's a terribly exciting time as you'll find out for real next November!!! :j
All the very best in getting enough for your little treasure's teddy! :A

Hiya,

Just wanted to say good luck to all those counting up, hope you all get an amazing amount.
Looking forward to joining in xxxx

Very many thanks indeed, !!!!!!, you're so kind. :grinheart I'm sure we will all be so delighted with our savings!! Just think, it'll be you this time next year!!!!! :j Don't forget - YOU can already be saving, no reason why not! Go on, be a devil. :dance:

Right then, SPCers, unless anyone's doing shopping tonight, I'd imagine all the saving is pretty much done! We'll see soon enough. That's my last £5er gone into the pot and I'm well happy enough with that. See you all later.

Is anyone else looking in pockets and handbags to find the last few coins? I'm sure it's not just me.

I went into the bank 10 minutes before closing time to ask for some money bags - she only gave me a few and I asked for more and said I'd been saving for a year.

She asked if I was wanting to deposit them straight away as it was almost closing time...

...I might want to count up, but I'm not that quick!

:rotfl: That worked brilliantly eh, Ruth! Credit where it's due though, you've both done brilliantly so you'd have deserved a treat before Movember begins - but IF..IF...IF you didn't succumb then fantastic!!!! :j How about getting ingredients for a delicious Stir Fry, we had one on Wednesday, it was soooo scrumptious and so very low on calories, does you the world of good too! All best wishes with it Ruth, I may just pop across myself and see what you're up to, though I saw this afternoon there was a weird fellar guarding the place, chap with a tash - you may know him! :rotfl:

HAHAHA!! I love my tash pic!!! everyone that has seen it so far has said that it suits me!!! ROTFL!!!!

Graham Norton makes eurovision just makes me cackle, with laughter, probably the only reason I watch or should that be listen in the background....


I have got all my bags ready spread on the floor of my lounge, ready for tomorrow, I have my MOT tomorrow so will pop via the bank on the way back, just as well I'm not back at work till end of November cant wait to see my colleague faces when I rock up with my coin bags hahaha...

That was brilliant, frogletina! I know they're quick but.........!! Aside from that it takes a lot of the pleasure away - how dare she suggest such a thing! :mad: BTW, you can bet that EVERYONE's scouring pockets, under floorboards.....anywhere to find a missing penny!! Good luck to you.

Oh strewth, Ruth, I can't believe that after all these years YOU'RE asking such a question!!!!! :eek: Frogletina's said it all for you - we start again just after midnight tomorrow - the 6th! That darkened room is beckoning again! Read the 1st post on page 1!!!!!!!

Tis movember and the lack of food Ruth, it's messing with yer head!!!! :idea: That's also what happens when you have TWO takeaways!! Greedy [STRIKE]beggar[/STRIKE] girl you. At least you got ONE thing right and saved a LOT today!!

Me too, Westie, I listen to him 'n all!!!! How wise we are. :happylove:happylove

Back later, folks, enjoy your evening...and the count down to count up! :j:j:j
