  • :hello: Good evening everyone,

    Wow! there are some amazing totals being declared. :T

    I have to confess that I haven't really been keeping up too well with the thread this year, and things haven't really gone to plan too well with the pottings.

    However I have counted my pots and #445 would like to declare a total of
    £133.88 I am pleased as have not been able to focus on the challenge very well this year.

    I would love to join in again for the new challenge and will be more focused this coming year.

    Thanks to everyone and I will be signing up for SPC 9

    Morning potters!

    I have counted my pot this morning (sorry it's a bit late) and I'd like to declare a grand total for #36 of £341.90. I'll be off to the bank later today to bank it. I'm sure the cashier will love me, with all my bags of 1s and 2s.

    This is the first year I've done this challenge and I'm surprised and delighted that my total is so much. Not as high as for some folk, true, but this is cash I haven't really missed throughout the year and I'm sure I would have just spent it left to my own devices. I'm very careful with money but this is a real bonus and will go a long way towards sorting Christmas spending out.

    Thanks all for your encouragement. I'm not a regular poster but lurk regularly and just post from time to time. Special thanks to Sue-UU :smileyhea because it takes some real commitment to keeping a thread like this going, especially when there are important things going on in your own life!

    I have a start for SPC #9 of 14p. Onwards!

    Hi chickadee and what an excellent amount you've saved!!!!!!! :D I'm really delighted for you and it's so wonderful to see folk so chuffed with what they saved hard for - even more so when they exceed their thoughts!!!!! ;)Many congratulations to you!!!!!!!!! :dance::T:dance: Thank you so much for your lovely words, I must admit they just about sum it all up, but it's fantastic to jolly folk along to save - especially when so many have never done so before!! That's why, whether it's a little or a lot, it's what it means to the saver that counts as all our circumstances differ so much. BTW, I have my wonderful DH here popping folk's savings on the sheet for me! He's a gem!! Onward indeed Chickadee!!!! :j
