    Westie - are you seriously declaring £14842 as in 14 thousand plus? (it doesn't look at all right to me!)
    If it's something irrelevant that you're talking about with Ruth then please could you tell me the correct sum of your savings?
    However, if as far as you're concerned it is correct Total for SPC and other MSE challenges is correct could you please tell me exactly which challenges they are for?!

    Yes thats correct I thought I could add my other challenges to the total, if this is wrong then please amend, as per my signature my totals are

    £13000 - from 1k challenge
    £252 - £1 coins
    £380 - £2 coins
    £400 - Xmas challenge
    £800 - Virtual Sealed Challenge

    I will continue to save into my £1 pot but will bring forward from £0 like I did last year, as I still have space in my £1 pot.

    SPC #59

    I have counted up my pennies and they come to a total of (drum roll please) .................... £64.37:j :jI have broken into my pot mid year, and whenever I needed it. It has been a total lifesaver at times, and even though it is not as AMAZING as some potters have managed, if I lifted the sofa and found an unexpected £65, I would be delighted. So I am delighted.

    Thanks to Sue-uu and 'the usual suspects', you are marvellous.

    See you on SPC10

    I do read at least once a week as it keeps me focussed on the end result. :money:

    Hello again, b_e_g!! It's so good to see you back and with your Total!:D Excellent savings once again and many congratulations to you!!!! :j:T:j

    Hi Westie and many thanks for getting back to me.
    The challenges are fine to go through to be counted in with SPC, however, there is no way I can include the "Save 12k in 2016" money as that comes under Savings and Investment which cannot be included. So your Total now is £1,832 and brilliant amount it is too!!! Many congratulations to you, that's really great savings!!!!! :dance::T:dance:

    Hiya f0xh0les!! VERY well done indeed! I know it's difficult at times, but in the end you've still done brilliantly!! So, very many congratulations on a good haul!!!!! :j:T:j Believe me, after much struggling through life, I also know what it's like to run a home, bring up kiddies and......live...with everything else!! :( I am THRILLED to bits that you're so happy as your pleasure knocks onto me, I promise you! Be very, very proud of yourself!!!!!!! :DBTW, while some may be able to save vast amounts, we're all individuals so you can only do what you can! Keep up the good work, but next time, include all that you need to take out, after all - you had saved it!!!! ;)

    Good to see you, pab233, and ....haven't you done so well!!! Many congratulations to you on such great savings!!!! :dance::T:dance:

    Lovely to see you back, worklifebalance! Isn't it amazing just how much we're able to save without missing it at all. We do ourselves proud...just as you have done!! :D Many congratulations indeed!!!!! :j:):j

    Hiya Caz!!!! It's wonderful to see you back - really!!!! So many members become like friends peeping round the door...yes, that's you!! :D So many congratulations Caz, you've done marvellously!!!!! :dance::T:dance:

    Creeps in as just remembered the date for opening the pots :rotfl:

    Sorry for being absent for most of the year. Life just seems to have got in the way and my lap top died so not been using any pcs.

    Hope all are well, will check back a few pages but not time for all.

    No 51 declaring £91.34 in my sealed pot.

    Not sure if I can declare £1000 in my post office account. Tried not to touch family allowance money for the year. Tried to use it as a virtual sealed pot so not sure if I am allowed to declare this???

    If not I'll just declare £91.34 which I am really pleased with as my money saving ways have slipped massively this year. New years resolution is to get a grip and sort myself out.

    If you will have me back, can I join again for next year? I promise to do better next year. :j:T

    It's wonderful to see you back, mumof3plusoh!!! Don't worry though as you're not the only prodigal potter!! :rotfl:

    Sorry to hear of your problems, sadly they do happen in life, but still we battle on valiantly as you have done, and to be honest I'm a little surprised, though really thrilled, that you've done soooo well this year!!! :D The £1000 isn't a problem as the very fact that you tried to use it as a VSP is fine. Apart from which, other potters may well save their FA! So, many congratulations on such a great potting year!!!!!! :j:T:j
