    Hell all SPCers, I hope you're all fine, all able to save whatever you can as and when you can too..it'll all make a huge difference for Christmas! :grinheart

    To those of you unwell or with any problems, here are some special {{{hugs}}} to help you get well soon. We're all thinking of you. :grinheart
    Hello dear Sue and hi to fellow potters,

    Remember me?? So sorry I haven't been around for a long time but my lovely FiL passed away after a traumatic (make that very traumatic) illness at home followed by almost 6 weeks in hospital where they were pulling out all the stops to send him home to an empty flat when he was clearly bed bound, very ill and confused. His death certificate shows bone marrow failure and sepsis. We were distraught and feeling very helpless and pressured.....

    Hello little_sweetie, my very dear friend, it's so good to see you back but I am so terribly sorry to read about your dear FIL passing away like that. :( It is such a shame to get to the age that he was and have to suffer so much toward the end, poor chap. You and G must have been beside yourselves at all the awful torment of it all. My deepest condolences to you and definitely to G, I will be in touch very shortly. I shall miss hime as all too often he came up in your posts, no doubt you've some cherished memoried of him to hang on to. :)



    Lovely to see you back to, Hicksy, and to see you stayed firmly away from your pot even know going through tough times! :T It sounds as though you've got yourself together again with your job now, good for you, I am really pleased for you. It's lovely to see a beautiful mental image of your little treasure potting all your cash, bless him. :A


    Never mind about the exact amount you've potted. TheCatsandDogsMother, at least it's safe. Have you changed the $6 cheque yet? :cool:


    Hello hello hello Lynsey, it's great to see you again too! :j By eck you've been saving exceedingly well, not that I should be in the least bit surprised after all it is almost the end of September! It's a lovely time of year to have Christmas covered, very well done! :T

    Now, I have a dilemma, i'm going away on holiday at end of October for few weeks and won't be around on opening day :( do I (a) open before I go and declare while i'm away or (b) wait til I get back which will be a week after opening day :undecided



    No problem at all, mummytummy, you concentrate on enjoying your visit and declare your savings just as soon as you land!! ;) That'll be fine. :D Having said that, if you feel better declaring it before you go, safety and all that, then by all means please do; up to you entirely.

    Thank you Sue-UU, we did have a fabulous holiday. It all seems like a dream now though! My sympathies with your broadband - our home broadband is so slow sometimes that it takes all my effort to stop DH from throwing the router out of the window. :eek:


    I'm really not surprised that your DH gets exasperated with your router, siju, ours didn't arrive with a name but I've heard my hubby christen it with a few just lately! :eek: The new one has arrived and all being well we should have fibre optic on this time next week. The best thing is that we get ultra fast FO for only a £1 a month for 18 months and a little while ago they were selling it for £12 a month!! :rotfl: Lucky or what and now worth the inconvenience! :D


    I'm so chuffed you enjoyed your holiday, though I understand how soon it all becomes dreamlike, keep the memories going. :j


    Brilliant savings you've made, jakes-mum, and well worth changing it all over!
    Thank Heavens Jake was fortunate enough to escape far worse injuries!! Kides eh and the grey hairs they give us.



    A fast worker eh, horseygirl, very well saved!

    Another lot in the pot, Chutney!

    Just in case I'm unable to get on tomorrow folks.....



    I Have a craking weekend. Keep up the potting whatever you do!

    Sue xx

    Hope everyone is well
    I'm rushing round trying to fit too much in and chasing my own tail. I'm sure I keep seeing glimpses of myself turning the corner just in front of me!

    Anyhow I have been good and potted my £20 in the 1p challenge tub plus a £5 note I won on a scratch card and a handful of shrapnel.

    Hoping to put the bedroom back together at the week as I've just finished glossing the wardrobe doors, have a great weekend all

    I am up a ladder plastering 'oles in the walls, it is keeping me out of trouble and out of the shops. Potting slowly, but it all adds up.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Evening all.

    Suu - thanks and I hope you and your family are doing well.

    Looks like some good potting has been going on. This year has flew over and October tomorrow! Only around five weeks until 'weigh in'.

    I've potted £20 this week and today I've cashed in £20 from a cashback site. I'll pot that by next weekend and hopefully add a tenner or two.

    Have a great weekend and be lucky.
