    Hi, I would like to join this challenge. I don't have a target in mind, I would just like to save as much as possible.


    A very warm welcome, Needhelpsaving. It's lovely to have you with us. :grinheart Enjoy yourself saving, posting and joining in the banter. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 2nd post of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. PS. We empty our pots and declare our savings in November, please make a note of this year's date: 5th Nov.

    Please also subscribe to the thread by clicking on "Thread Tools" (lower green bar) and clicking "Subscribe to this thread"...or you may lose us! To put your SPC No on, go to "Quick Links" (right side of top green bar), click and then click on "Edit Signature" and you're away. ;)

    *Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it really helps.


    Needhelpsaving - please note that instead of giving you the following No on the list I've given you No 58! I'm sure that member would have returned by now, and if she does, I'll give her a new one.

    Many thanks for the lovely welcome and help, Kerry.

    Do the best you can, Frogletina, at this time of year it's not always easy to keep to budget, but try! :D

    Morning skilly, good to see you dropping in.


    I'm so sorry to hear of your dear Mum's premature death, Iolanthe, it must have been very hard on you all. However, your Dad is obviously doing his best to help you all and himself, bless him. :) I'm sure your Mum would love the idea.
    Please be sure to keep a note of the Total you take from your SPC money as it will all be included in next year's Grand Total. Thanks a lot.



    Have a good day, SPCers, save well!

    Sue x
    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

    I had to drive to Glasgow yesterday. It was the worst drive through ever. It was soooo windy and the rain was horrible. Even the usual 100 mile-an-hourers were going slower. Luckily the snow has gone or that would have finished me off.
    It's actually quite bright at the moment. Let's hope we can make it to 4pm before it gets dark today. I have to go out at lunchtime so I will get the benefit of daylight today if it stays like this.

    £2 coin and 1p went in the pot yesterday. I have about 20p in my purse today which I pledge to the pot when I get home :)
    Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
    Mortgage today = £161,690.76
    300 271 payments to go.
    House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000

    I fed the hungry, hungry pot 3 £2 coins this weekend! This is a BIG DEAL in my world and the most I've given the pot since I started. He also ate some shrapnel but I was a bit blase about that after the £2 coin feast :D

    Haven't missed a day so far and enjoy looking in my purse during the day deciding what I'm going to feed him tonight :p
