My total this time is not as high as last time. It is only £ 298. I guess not doing grocery shopping or not carrying any cash around is helping with the challenge. So next year I am going to set myself a target of £500.

Signature updated!!!!!

105 declaring a total pot of £364:j The £64 was gifted to me by my OH who had his own pot going too:D. Hope that's ok, Sue. I'm going to aim for £400 next year!

I'm declaring today as I will be out at a course tomorrow evening.

Got my new tin ready for the 4th

Great potting Frogletina BTW, you do realise you'll have hurt a lot of feelings by saying that the pots were for kiddies! No doubt most of our family members use them!!! :rotfl:

I do like the style of the pots, it's just that they have Disney cartoons on them and I've never really been into cartoons.

This year I've got one decorated with coca-cola bottles from 1899 to 1957 which is more to my taste. Should have got more when I got that one.

I'm going to open it the way I did the last two, by pressing down on the seam as suggested by someone on here.

It's sitting next to me tempting me to open it.

Put in my last £2 (probably) tonight, ready for counting up tomorrow. Also put in £5 which I was given by Tesco this morning after I complained (on Twitter :rotfl: ) about the cashier that served me yesterday - no please or thank you, just "£4.08" and "Here". They wanted to give me a giftcard but for some reason the manager couldn't get it to work so she just gave me cash instead

My tin already had some money in when I joined the challenge, so will be interesting to see the final total.

Evening everyone! Everyone is so uber excited with their savings, this is such a wonderful seat to have at such terrific times!!!! :dance:


Hi mossy! Very well done on your savings!!! :j:T:j I'm so happy for you and thrilled that it's an amount you can do something with particularly for Christmas time!!!! :xmastree:Re your thoughts on how to save more the Vitual Sealed Pot sounds a great way to have running alongside SPC and don't forget that you can include any other MSE Challenges in your SPC Total too!

Baby Angel, there is absolutely no such thing as "only", whatever we save it's money we'd quite possibly have otherwise wasted or have got lost in shopping etc. I will be soooo chuffed if I have the same as you, but I'm sure it'll be more as DH & I try hard to save a specific weekly amount though it isn't always possible. So be really chuffed with it all and be proud!!!! :j:T:j Ok £500 it is for next year and all the best in achieving it!!!


An excellent result for the years potting, Happybeingme, congratulations to you!!!! :dance::T:dance:I'm so happy you're delighted with it, yes, it would always be nice to have more, but ever we've saved is going to benefit us, and as you say....is so much better than if you'd not saved at all!!!! See you over on SPC 10 on Friday!


Helllo Bex, not seen you for way too long but...it's great to see you now with a big smile on your face! Congratulations Bex you've done so well and your savings account will thank you for it!!!! :j:T:j Good luck for next year Bex!

You put it wisely, Dragon Lily! Savings could always have been better if things were different here and there, but IF we hadn't saved at all.....! It's an amazing amount you've saved and congratulations on every single penny in there!!!!!! :dance::T:dance: BTW, it's good to have quite a fair few declaring tonight, aside from that - how on earth would you have managed to sleep!!!!! :eek:;) See you over on SPC 10 anytime after 12 midnight tomorrow!

....and you;re still waiting?!! :cool: I couldn't agree more with you re the Disney pots, not my style either, but they can't all have such great taste! That must be quite an array of coke bottles you've got between those amount of years. See you tomorrow then......if you wait!!!

I suppose there will always be some shop assistants who really don't try, MrsShazbat, though I've got to admit to the majority being exceptionally polite and cheery, but you'll always get the ones that are simply there for the wage packet and nowt else. Anyway, at least some good came out of it, and your pot benefitted!!! :j

It's the final countdown, Potters!! :jJust hours away now!! :dance:
