    Morning everyone,

    Potted £2.50 this morning to kick of this challenge.

    I don't celebrate Christmas so I'll be using the money to pay off debt/top up my savings.

    Good morning all. I am going to set a target of £750.00. We tend to do a city break in December so will use any money saved towards that.

    Morning all.

    I am in again for another year please as I love this challenge. I will set a target of £850 this year to try to increase slightly on SPC #9. (SPC member ~067). I always use my SPC money to buy Premium Bonds. This year I have won £75 - not enough to retire yet but more than I would have earnt in interest from savings so quite happy with that.

    I will try to pop in more than I have done on previous years to keep up with the thread. Starting this challenge with £29.70 which is the 'loose change' from last years SPC. Have also popped in £1 so it feels like I have made a legitimate start.

    Happy SPC-ing in 2017 everyone and as always, a massive thank you to Sue & anyone else involved in running the challenge

    xx

    Morning all
    Thank you for the new thread Su, I've got my new pot and put a £5 note in it this morning so I'm started.

    Think my goal will be £750 but I haven't got a specific use for it this time apart from the kitchen is on the to do list.
