Enjoy a lovely weekend, folks, and try to ignore any weather that you don't like!
I hope you're all able to save whatever you can when you can..it'll all make a difference! :grinheart
To those of you unwell or have other issues, here are some special {{{hugs}}} to help you get well soon. We're all thinking of you. :grinheartplumduff55 wrote: »Hi, I've just potted £10.51 after emptying my purse.

I see you're sticking to what's asked of us all from the SPC, Plumduff...getting more excited as the days go by too! Keep counting them! :money:
You seem to be so blessed by everybody with£2 coins, Jakes-mum, you're DU is a treasure for sure!
WHAT...your DS is a size 8?!!!! :eek: Though you're a lanky [STRIKE]******[/STRIKE] one too from what I remember so he's gonna be a big lad too.
Maybe not quite so lucky with your DD then, but those shoes are so worth the price. I had to have the separate arches when I was young and they could sometimes be a pest but fixed ones would be so much better.
I'm off to Ibiza to visit my lovely DS for ten days :T I should see a bit of sunshine
I have made £310.16 in the 'Make £10 a day' challenge this month, so that's £250 into my regular savings account and £60.16 into my SPC :dance: :dance:

Oooh that sounds glorious, Lynne, and with visiting your DS too, you'll have a wonderful time!!
Excellent savings with your challenges too, I'll have to look further into the Make £10 a day Challenge soon. BTW very wise to bank before you go. Tis quiet on here but no doubt it'll soon hot up a bit as D day gets closer.
Great work Emily! Bet you're feeling quite carefree these days with no debts to weigh you down! :j
Nice work TheCatsandDogsMother! Though procrastinating over those Uni essays isn't so good, time to get a wriggle on don't you think?!!
Yep 32b3, as normal the SPC year just whizzes by and November 3rd will be upon us before we know it! It's always lovely to see you though it does sounds as though your potting is going brilliantly! :dance:
You've been quiet for a while haven't you, MrsShazbat?! :silenced: Still, you're saving so hopefully all's well.

I am indeed, he swapped me up 2 more on sunday . . . gave me 2 x £2 coins for 2 x 50ps :rotfl: we're getting there with the trading :rotfl:
Yep, the boy is roughly 5ft 10 now, I reacon he will pass me before he's finished! :eek:
If those shoes stop her feet hurting they will be worth every pennyThe arches in these shoes are HUGE! but she said they were really comfortable to walk in when she tried them on, they were just slipping off her heels so just needs to be a teeny tiny bit bigger in the feet.
So i've potted 2 x £2 coins from DU and various change from my purse into the schrapnel tin that I am getting a bit panicky about as I cannot bear to open the tin without it being full (bit of a waste of a squid if I do!) and as I only started it like a month ago i've got very little time to fill the thing (may have to start demanding my change in the shops in 10p's or lower :rotfl:)SPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000 -
