    Just a thought, all SPCers,
    I wouldn't mind betting a lot of members who haven't declared yet didn't see the earlier closing date when it was changed last year - so, it might not be until the 26th that they came back to declare! Just to keep you all aware so you don't nag me for the Grand Total. :(;)

    Please help me out folks by quoting the message above (NOT the entire post!) every so often so everyone gets to see it. Thanks so much, Sue xx


    Keep up the good work indeed, !!!!!!, and you've done very well...with the housework too!

    Well done, Kermie! You've just taken me back some years as I've not done tap for yonks. Enjoy it!

    Excellent savings, Saver-upper!!! :j As you say, not an every day thing, but if you can get excitement from doing so now and again - why not! I agree with the £2s, I love them! :D
    Is it wrong that I'm actually looking forward to the frosts that are forecast at the weekend?! November has been too warm!

    Of course it's not wrong, stepuptothepl8, it's completely natural that given the month we'd be expecting crispy white frosts at this time of year. It'll be lovely to see them, especially as I love taking frosty photos. At least you and I will be enjoying it!! :j
    Have a lovely evening, Potters! :dance:
    Sue xx


    NB SPC Savers: For 2016 - 3rd November will be the new opening date! Don't forget your diaries digital or otherwise.

    Anyone wishing to join us, it's NEVER too late, so please just ask, you'll be made very welcome. :grinheart

  • I managed to pot an extra 5p today as I found it when cleaning out my purse.

    I'm really amazed at the amount that some people are potting! Well done guys.

    I'm just proud that I'm managing to pot anything at all considering that I have never saved any amount of money in my life and always lived hand to mouth regardless of my income. It's just a shame, now that I'm a stay at home mother and have no income that I am thinking of saving! Just think of the money I could have saved with all the money I used to earn! Hahaha.

    Oh well, better now than never!
    Well done again everybody!

    It's awesome reading everyone's potting amounts, well done guys :D

    I did a little grocery shop today so change from that is going into my jar...63p, plus a wee lonely 1p that I spotted on the kitchen table - I'm sure no one will miss it ;)

    That's Monday over (a very wet and windy one here in Scotland!), roll on the rest of the week, to see what savings can occur! :)
