Hello Sue-UU

SPC 8 No 441 here declaring a grand total of £1567.31

Approximately half of the money will cover all birthday and Christmas expenses for next year and any other gifts/purchases for my friends and family.

The balance will go back into my household budget as a buffer against future expenses.

Havent read the thread since I posted last night.Just had to say I am home now,and about to start counting.I went to weigh my pots-of course the battery in the scales was dead .Nooooooooooo.So weighed each tin on kitcehn scales.One tin was over 3kg,so registered as "err".Must split it up before trying again.,
I am about to start counting,then,depending what time I have,I will make a cuppa and sit back to read this thread before posting my total.
Thank you for all your work Sue.Not just today,but all throughout the year.I am sure today is even more busy for you-take care x

Thank you so much, Saver-upper, I have the very best DH who cares for me too and I'd be lost without him! BTW, most potters weigh up using kitchen scales.

Many thanks indeed, Kerry!

Wow loving seeing the totals coming in!

Every penny counts potters & everyone should give themselves a massive pat on the back.

Thanks Sue-UU for your time organising this, it's very much appreciated. Although I already had a pot going before I joined the challenge, I've been motivated to put more in thanks to everyone here being so encouraging xx

Thank you Sue, I am so pleased with the amount I've managed to save. It has been so much fun as well.

I will be here for SPC 9, though I cannot guarantee to beat this year's total which was quite a surprise to me.

I have to say that it was only possible to save so much because there is only me now in this household, though my family members are increasing in number! Hence the need to increase the money needed for family gifts and birthday presents.
