beckstar1975

I'm at work but when I'm at home I'd love to be in please, hoping to get £300 from this.

Thank you

Wow, this thread is very fast paced, I love it when other people chatter as much as I do on a thread


Will be potting £1.27 today, once I have made the pot.

finally grabbed a sealed pot and bosched all the change from holding pot into it

I've just looked at my eggs from my latest Ocado delivery, and found that some of them were cracked. It was a box of 18.

Have just rung the company and they said they would give me a refund - I've been refunded for the whole box of them - £3.99.

That is going to my pot once it has been received.

Also I bought some Christmas presents yesterday which had been reduced - am wondering whether to put the amount I saved into the pot or put it aside for more presents. I have put aside an amount for each person I buy for - could be slightly more or less.

Three presents for people had a reduction of £1.20 each (items that they wanted) but think it would be odd to try to buy something for each of them with the £1.20 just to make up the balance. Maybe it will be better in my pot!

[Quote=Cherry BurtonHi Sue-U-U and all the sealed potters,

May I join please? I have read through the first post and it looks like an ideal way for me to save a few quid for next Christmas rather than waiting until next October and starting to panic.[/quote]

[Quote=Iolanthe]Just popped in to say thank you to whoever it was started the idea of checking with your energy company. I checked with mine last night and was given a new tariff which is going to be 45 pounds cheaper per month!!!! That will make quite a difference.

I got a refund of 2 pounds for a cancelled football lesson for DS. Wasn't expecting it so in it goes...[/quote]

That would be Saver-upper who helped us both, Iolanthe. Congratulations to you on such a reduction!!!!! :j Brilliant, the £2 refund also!

So good to see you back, ToniLiz, I've missed updates on news of your hubby rummages, keep with us - and them!

I hope you're ok, Observer, just wondered with you having time off.

Put £6 in my pot as I had a cheque back from old energy supplier in credit by £12 so I have split it between SPC and Xmas 2015 pots

THAT is the way to save, the.new.me! Very well done!

That's what gives SPC a family effect, WantToBeSE, everyone gets on so well, helps each other and natters away...though some more than others, I mention no names, but look out for (ssshhhh!:shhh: ) jakes-mum....natter - you can't get a word in edgewise! Just don't tell her I said so. :silenced:

Hellooo there, mcjordi!! Good to see you finally got your pot, though you "bosched" all your change in it??? :undecided

An eggselent idea with the egg refund, Frogletina!! Just an idea with the money saved on reduce items, why not put that cash into a "Holding Pot" (see 1st post of Page 1) and if you don't need it THEN pop it in our pot. It gives us thinking time.

Well done, jakes-mum, and good for you in getting shot of those ruddy meerkats...horrible little ferrets! Not the real ones, they're cute, bit tothers........! :mad:

Have a lovely evening, SPCers, and do be careful with the weather all our Scottish and northern folk!!!!

NB: SPC Savers: 5th November will be the date of 2015 opening day!

Anyone wishing to join, it's NEVER too late, so please just ask, you're more than welcome. :grinheart

Agree, those meerkats are a bit weird, can't believe what people will pay for them!

That's a good idea Sue-UU - I have a temporary pot so far, which is not big enough for the year and I will use that as a holding pot once I have one which I will seal.
