Please can I keep my target at £575 for the coming year - I am going to go all out to achieve it this year - my shortfall amounts to about £9.00 a month so I am sure I can find that throughout the year.
Sorry I don't get to post much through the year but I am always with fellow SPC'ers in spirit and love checking in at counting time to see how everyone has done.
Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and succesful SPC in 2015!:)
No worry at all, kiplingmonkey, you did brilliantly this year so, all being well you can get up to where you wish to be! Posting isn't a 'must' but for the most it just encourages them that much more. A very Merry Christmas to you also, for the new potting year as well.At this rate it i'll take OH out then the rest will go on my CC and Christmas!!
Now that wouldn't be a bad thing would it, Ruth!
I know, Lynsey, a more relaxed saving year, but cash to treat yourself...and why not.
Best wishes to you, SpiralingDown, and I hope you get what you're after.
Don't worry, GAP, I realised, but was just joking with you. Though if you ask me, it sounds like preferential treatment!! :rotfl: Ever felt you couldn't win!
TARGETS: All have been added or adjusted to where you want them to be, folks, now do your best to reach them...but please don't fret if you're unable to!
You've all started off in a fantastic way, SPCers, keep it up throughout the year and you'll have saved sooooo well by the end!!!Sue x
NB, all SPC savers: 5th November will be the date of 2015opening day!

Happy New (Potting) Year everyone! This is making me feel all New Year's Resolutiony hehehe.
I'll have another go at £1000 for my target please Sue. I sadly got no-where near it last year but did get just over £400 - hoping to improve on that this year which with a bit of this RESOLUTION I'm feeling right now I should be able to do!
I've found a lovely big biscuit tub for this year's pot, and I've just thrown in a handful of coppers. We're under way!!£10 a day extra in May '18[B]£35/310[
Virtual Sealed Pot 2018 £500/£2500 = 20%

Hi Potters
Can I join in for 2015 please?
I've seen some sealed tin money boxes in the £1 shops so will get one for my pennies!
I don't want to give a target as I'm really not sure how much I will save. I'm a single parent and work in the NHS, so not much left (if anything) at the end of the month!
Will try my best to save and post on here. I think counting it all up in Nov 2015 will be exciting! :T
Love Pix

Thanks

I won :j:j I do the lottery for 4 weeks when DH gets paid and I always buy a £1 scratchcard. Today I won £20 which has gone straight in the pot. You guys are bringing me good luck :happyhearDebt free as of 29.10.2020 🎉😁
