Well,I have spent time catching up on the thread since leaving you on Christmas eve.I hope everyone has had a lovely couple of days.
We have had a lovely Christmas.Children thoroughly spoilt by Santa.And they are loving going through their toys.
I think,especially since there is no internet at inlaws' house,and because grandad is in charge of the remote control (and inlaws don't have cable,so there is not the variety of shows my kids are used to watching when they are allowed to watch telly),there is alot more playing with toys/games/each other going on.Not once in 3 days have my 4 kids missed ipads,internet,or tv :j.
Because there is no internet at inlaws',and because,no doubt,our own internet will be cut off when our kitchen and dining room are demolished in the new year,I have come back home this afternoon to do my tax online.Well,that is what I am supposed to be doing.Will make a nice change from doing it 2 days before it's due ,end of January :rotfl::rotfl:.But first I have got to catch up on my friends on MSE .
And this morning I potted a £2 coin that has been isolated in my handbag for about a week (so I didn't accidentally spend it).

Welcome to SPC 9 VALM, of course you can join us Sue the all powerful will appear at some point to give you your very own one of a kind number to pop on your signature.

Please give the first post a read as its full of lovely helpful information like what can be included in your pots and stuff like 'holding pots' for those potters that might have emergencies which would cause them to break into their pots etc. It also has our all important opening date! When we get to declare our hard earned savings :T

Good luck with your potting and remember it matters not if you pot a penny or hundreds of pounds, we want to know about it!

Hello, I am new to the forums. May I join in with this challenge?

Cazzaswfc

Would really like to join.

I have two pots, one for £2 coins, the other for loose change which I will clear from my purse once a week (10p,s and under only)

Money will be used to OP the mortgage ( current intention) :rotfl: however who knows if this will change by November!

Saved just over £300 in £2 coins this year so, aiming for £350 by November.

c.w.2015 and Cazzaswfc - Welcome the challenge. Sue will be along to allocate you both a number. All the useful information can be found on the first post. Hope you both enjoy saving.

Well DS has paid a whopping £100 back toward his xbox today :eek: £25 of change has been potted and I currently have the other £75 sat next to me in notes as I don't know whether to pot it as it is or get it changed up into coins! potting the notes would mean that the tin will take longer to fill, BUT it just doesn't have the same satisfying clunk or added weight of dropping in lots and lots of coins! . . . :think: decisions decisions . .

32b3, you've only just started your 2016 christmas shopping :eek: where HAVE you been?! sales started a week before christmas in some stores! :rotfl: I restarted my comping for christmas on boxing day so your not alone :rotfl:

Oh and for anyone who was interested, the sales were absolutely rubbish! came home with 2 chocolate reindeer from hotel chocolat and a game that DH wanted to get me for christmas but had shot up in price so he waited for the sales to get it (see he does love me He knows cheap prices are the way to my heart :rotfl:)
