It's now the 5th here in Oz


#11 Declaring £392 for 2015


There was a little bit more but I've put that back in the pot ready to start again for 2016.


I also saved £156 in the £2 savers challenge so if I can add that to my total it will bring me up to £548


Thank you SueUU for all your hard work running this challenge year after year. Can't wait to see what the final tally will be, here's to 2016 :beer:

£20 left from half term potted as promised. Can't wait to count up tomorrow and to start afresh with you all for the following year

Well done to everyone who saved any money no matter how small. It's something I haven't achieved for years

Ok, so DH and I have cracked as tomorrow will be a busy day.... The total potted over various different challenges & pots - virtual and otherwise - is:

£975.71

I just can't believe it! :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

Thanks SO much to Sue-UU for keeping me on track. Some of the money goes towards a subscription, DH is claiming a chunk of it for a new phone and the rest will go towards Christmas (and any left over will be spent on a treat.).

Oh Vicky, what a fantastic sum you've saved between you!!! :eek: You sound totally overjoyed, understandable too! So many congratulations to you, DH too!!!!!!! :dance::T:dance: I guess you'll be with us on 9!

I'm still holding out Sue!!! I've had to stay away from the thread today or I would have cracked , DH has been walking round behind me all afternoon singing 'lets open the pots now, lets open the pots now' :eek: he's the one who's supposed to be STOPPING ME! :mad:

I knew you'd hold on, jakes-mum, it would have quite the same excitement to it otherwise now would it. Listen up to your dietitian, my Dr says exactly the same to me, though I have to confess to DH being in the midst of counting ours right now. Well, I have to be here for you lot now don't I....I'm keeping it under wraps until the morrow though. See you then.

Justforme - I am so thrilled for you that you can now tootle off and get your little darling his teddy! You've done wonderfully in such a short time. Congratulations to you!!!!! :j:T:j BTW, I've already added your new Target to the SPC 9 sheet, all the best with it.

Isn't it just a fantastic night, TheDapster, I adore it all. See you and your treasures tomorrow!

Your DD will love helping whatever her age, stepuptothepl8, it'll also help her to think about money...and savings!

Aww,how exciting is this thread!!:j:j
Soooooooo looking forward to tomorrow.I am working in the morning,then straight home to de-pot .Tonight I checked I knew where my home scales are-I am going to weigh my pots and photograph the contents before counting up.(Too much time on my hands,I tell ya)
Tonight's (final) envelope about to be potted contains £12 :j.It is money a friend gave me to pay for tickets to a play at daughter's school.I am a bit lucky to have received the money at all-my friend had given the envelope to her daughter to give my daughter to bring home.When I asked my DD if she had it,she said "Oh-I left it on my desk at school" :eek::eek:.
Oh,I wish I had all day off tomorrow.I would have a fest of counting money and refreshing this thread every few minutes.All day!!
I know I will have started counting up earlier than 2pm (I hope so,because I want to have counted,bagged up and banked pottage before collecting kids from school at 3pm ),but based on a 2pm count up,I have 13.5 hours to go!!:j:j:j:j
