Lilyflower7, so sorry to hear that your pot was stolen last year. That's shocking. do you already have a number? Keep coming back to update us and if you haven't got one, Sue will allocate you one when she pops in.

I am not entirely sure to be honest I had a number on this thread under my old username however for personal reasons I felt a new account would be better for me. So I'm not sure if I need to keep my old number (which I'm not particularly attached to and can't even remember ) or if I can get reallocated a new number? I will wait for Sue to make the decision

And yes, while shocking, I was more heartbroken than anything. I didn't count what I potted so I don't have an exact sum, but I worked out it would have been around £200-£250 in that pot.

Sue-UU I'm so sorry to hear about your fall! I hope you feel better soon and look forward to seeing you back in SPC when you've recovered!

Thank you 32b hun.....I will try to take care of myself....The next thing I'm battling with is my sleeping....LoL, it's always something isn't it? But it's nearly half midnight and I've been up for over an hour and haven't had nearly enough sleep....but not to worry, it'll get sorted one way or the other... at least I can get in some extra work while I'm awake

Managed to Pot £3.15 this evening...So I'm pleased with that...Hopefully will be able to Pot a bit more after I've sorted out my Wages when they hit my Bank Account in the early hours this morning....

Hope everyone is well....Sue, still thinking about you and hoping you are managing to relax and get better....

*Hugs* to anyone that needs them... xXx

Hello everyone!

I was a participating member on here a few years back, and thought I'd pop back on and say hi! Haven't you all been doing well!?

Although I'm no longer an official 'potter', I am currently potting in earnest! I decided I didn't much like the new £5 notes so I bought one of those pots from the shop where things cost £1 and decided any I got given could go in there (along with £2 coins which I'm also not very fond of!) I started potting on New Year's Day and plan to hack in to my pot on New Year's Day next year. The Flat Deposit Fund is coming along nicely but I've decided I need a jolly good back-up fund so would like to try and save £3,000 to sit comfortably in an account once I have a mortgage in case of emergency. So that's my aim for the year. So whilst I'm not officially part of the SPC challenge, I didn't think you'd mind if I just dropped in and gave a little wave!

Happy potting! xxx

So come back to us "proper" CazzieLT, you know you want to

Morning potters!
Sue - hope you are feeling better very soon, that's nasty :-(

In the last couple of weeks I've potted a good handful of shrapnel in the odd sods tin, a £2 coin and 5 x £1 coins in the ££s tin and 2 x shiny new £1 coins in the new £coin tin.
I've had a couple of plastic fivers but had to use them boo hoo.

I'm going to open my old £coin tin at the end of May I think and get them changed up.

I love £2 coins and will happily take any you don't want off your hands. Agree about the plastic fivers though

Hello, mind if I join? I'm very prone to impulse spending any cash that I have, so think a sealed pot is my best shot for saving anything for longer than a month! Managed to sell some old books yesterday for £6, so I'll pot that now.

Hello Seekingthesunlight you are very welcome to join us, we're always happy to include new members. If you read the post on the first page, it tells you everything you need to know about the challenge. Our leader Sue-UU will be along to provide you with your own number soon, but in the meantime, get potting.

Oooooooh, mummytummy, you've convinced me! Sue-UU, may I request a number? (When you are back with us - I hope you are taking good care of yourself and recovering well.) I think being a fully-fledged member again will encourage me to save even more - I'm going to go for a target of £1,000 towards the Emergency Fund!

Ha ha, Frogletina, I was waiting for that! I got my first new one pound coin this morning and I think they will have to be popped in the tin too, I just can't accept these mixed coins in my life yet - like, what are they!? Are they gold!? Are they silver!? It's too much!

Happy saving, everyone! And thanks for welcoming me back so warmly xxx

Nothing in the pot the last couple of days but just wanted to wish Sue a very speedy recovery x
