    Count me in I am for £200 as I am in a Christmas Savings Club and I want extra

    Welcome to the nicest board on the internet, Rachela! Sue-UU will give you a number and make you all official next time she's in!

    Thank you so much to my SPC family for just being awesome and bringing me sunshine through a lot of clouds. Today has been an OK day in Cazzie land which is all we can hope for at the minute. Just on my way home from the hospital and popped into the pound shop to treat my Mum to a box of her fave chocolate brazils, and can now look forward to treating the pot to a fiver and two beautiful £2 coins later too! So everyone will be well fed tonight :)

    Excellent potting all round by all of you too. It's raining buckets where I live so I might have to scroll back through all that lovely talk of holidays we had (I think it was around Page 72!) and dream of sunnier climes! Ooooh, that reminds me, must get those Euros out and talk business with some travel agencies! Haven't forgotten your excellent guide to currency exchange, jakes-mum! That will fatten up the pot nicely :)

    And for those weekday workers among us... it's nearly Friday! You can do it :D xxx

    Hi,
    Firstly what a fantastic idea and a brilliant thread with so many great ideas and friendly people!

    So, I'd love to join if that would be okay?
    I don't want to set a 'target' as tight now times are tough... I'm in a bit of a mess debt wise and getting help.

    So, in the very beginning my savings will mostly be 'Roadkill'. However, when I get things under control I'm hoping even a couple of pounds a time will be helpful.

    I think right now, just knowing that I'm 'saving' (even if it is tuppence here and tuppence there) would be a good mental boost.

    So, if it's okay, please could I have a numbe? :)

    Look forward to chatting to you all and hearing all your ideas and motivations

    Welcome to the thread incywincy21! Sue will be along to give you a number soon. In the meantime read the first post, grab a pot (anything will do) and get potting! :)
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

    Hi Incy! Welcome to our happy board! Well done for trying to take steps in the right direction, however small they might feel - I was always told if you look after the pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves, so I hope your pennies will soon add up and help make a difference to your debts. This is certainly the best and most fun place to do it! And we sure do love a roadkill win! :)

    Excellent potting, peeps! I'm now starting to understand why one might get oneself a DH! :D Still think I'll stick to my singledom though - would hate to have to share my pottage with anyone else, it's all miiiiiiine!!! :D xxx

    Thanks for the lovely welcome!

    Yes, from reading some of these posts it 'almost' makes you wish you had a DH... but I only get as far as 'almost'!
    Very happily single with my cat and can't see it any other way :) you're in good company Cazzie ����
