  • Hi all

    Wow grand total for SPC 07 congrats every one:T

    Very happy to announce that my little princess have arrived safe and sound on 10 Dec 2014. Today she is already 10 days old and changing everyday. We are all so smitten by her and she is keeping us very busy.

    Did not leave home since 10 days no spending hence no potting.

    Sue my target is still same but not spending on baby stuff anymore as baby is here just saving :)

    Awwww congratulations on the safe arrival of your little one! Xx

    Evening everyone

    Firstly wow what an amazing total for SPC 7. Such a massive amount. Glad to have been a part of it. :D

    Loveactually - congratulations on the birth of your baby daughter.

    £3 potted in the last couple of days.

    Counted up one of little mans sealed pots last night and he had £380 in £2 coins. (Not to be included in the total for SPC 7) at 19 months he managed to pot more than me. :rotfl:

    Congrats Loveactually, what a lovely Xmas present to have your daughter arrive safe and well :)

    Sue - you keep the totals in your siggy and I'll add 'em up, no problem :D

    I've potted a couple of £s today after lunch out with DS & DD to celebrate our Xmas- we're not together on the day so had a lovely lunch and exchanged presents today :D

    Hi all
    Very happy to announce that my little princess have arrived safe and sound on 10 Dec 2014.
    CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW BABY :dance:

    It's okay - the opening date was the 27th November but for next year it's
    5TH NOVEMBER 2015
    I suggest you put it in your diary/on your calendar NOW.


    You should really have a sealed savings pot, but if you need to keep dipping in maybe you can get a 'holding pot' and then put some money in your sealed pot when you know you won't need it. Have a look at the first post on the thread and feel free to ask if you need some help :)


    Had another NSD today so just £1 for the pot


    Hope you all have a great week-end folks

    Awww another SPC baby :D congrats loveactually, DH has already looked over and said 'no! . . Don't even think about it' :rotfl: it's like he has a radar for my biological clock :o

    Got a very poorly little girl on my hands, she has thrown up repeatedly and had a bit of a bad belly :( hoping it's not a sickness bug :( she's supposed to be going to a sleep over in a couple of days but I think I'm going to have to keep her home as I wouldn't want to make the other little girls ill, especially this close to Christmas :( not looking forward to telling her

    I have had to raid my holding pot today and now all I have left is a grand total of 66p housekeeping money and 32p money in sundries. Thank goodness there's only one day left before it is replenished. If I stay in tomorrow my holding pot will have 0.98p in it.

    My sealed pot though seems very healthy and should be fed well by the end of December when I check all my budgets as I am sure that I will have an excess of income over the year.
