    Just potted £2.00 left over from shopping today.
    Building up the pot again after banking £190.00. I think I have over £30 but I've decided not to think about it now as I want a nice surprise amount in Nov to add to the money I've already banked:D

    Hello all SPCers! Not much summer this year, but are we down-hearted...? NEVER! Have a good day whatever you do, a relaxing evening too. :D

    All the best to those who are unwell, here are some special {{{hugs}}} to help you get well soon, for those who may be feeling low too. Your SPC family are thinking of you. :grinheart

    Hi there 32b3, it's great seeing you drop in now and again, though I'm quite sure you need absolutely no motivation to save. :D


    It sounds as though you've a lovely pot on which to store your cash, evkizzy, there's something about camper vans that really appeals to me, the get up and go part I suppose. Good to hear you're savings underway, your CC will think so too come Christmas!


    A brilliant amount, Florence, very well done indeed!

    Finger is all better now Sue, the cut is still there but its healed nicely inside so all is well :D

    Just come back from a few days away at the inlaws and brought a hefty tub full of change back as we took the kids down to the arcades one evening! Must have chucked £12 in there in various denominations. 2p's now need sliding in sdeways but still room for more pennies!

    Enjoy your holibobs and bring us all back some rock (and some change for your pots :D )

    Hoping everyone is well, have finished my crocheted rabbit, but now got to make another rabbit, a pair of booties and another ripple blanket in blues :eek: luckily MIL gave me a big bag of wool so I should have plenty to keep me going :D

  • Managed to pot $5 this week.
    I've also managed to reach the target amount for my car registration (yay!) now to save for the insurance renewal, that way I'm all prepared. I've already decided that I'll send the money to the credit card once these bills are paid so it can go down faster.
    The puppies eye is all healed and he has been grounded from injury now haha like he will listen to me.
