Hi Everyone


I'm declaring early - Total £209 including fig I banked earlier this year. :j A bit down on last year when it was over £300 but I'm now working part-time, so less funds to pot. Got a lovely new tin to start potting tomorrow!


Happy pot opening, everyone x

Is there a new thread running already for next year?

Hello Dizzy Imp!! I could say “was “about time to” but you know me - I just wouldn’t. I’m so looking forward to seeing how well you’ve done, especially now you’ll have the contributions from ‘the girls’!!!! NO THERE IS NOT A NEW THREAD RUNNING YET!!!!! However, if you’re around just after midnight tomorrow that’s when I will be putting SPC 11 on!!!!!! I can’t believe it!!

Ah, here you are again Little Imp and many congratulations to you for such a great amount!!!!!!!:j :T:j Working part time obviously makes a huge difference, so you should be very proud of ALL you've saved!!!!!!!

Hello all :wave:

I'm going to have to declare now as tomorrow is a late parents' evening, so by the time I've got home and had supper I'll only be fit for staring blankly into space...

However, thanks to your lovely support and the amazing skills of Sue-UU (we appreciate everything you and the team do), I am ultra-proud to declare my pot stands at:

#153

£961.13

:j :j :j :j

Very many congratulations to you on an amazing Total, Vicky!!!!!!! :j:T:j I bet you’re thrilled to bits, DH too, at such an amount!! All things considered, you’ve done brilliantly!!!!! Thanks for the lovely words, but I so enjoy it, especially days like today, tomorrow and... almost until Christmas! I’ve got to add that jakes-mum :T, 32b3 :T, Lynne :T and Antomac :T always seem to know when I have problems and they and others, also jump into keep the thread up to scratch, so a huge thank you to them and my beloved Terry too!!!!!!! :T

I'm declaring today too because I have a lot on at the moment and could well forget to declare tomorrow Today is also

my birthday! Yay!

Anyway, my miserable total is exactly £23.50 SPC'er #70

A very Happy Birthday to you little_sweetie!

I’d totally forgotten it as Terry had to have a skin cancer lump removed from his face; nothing too nasty thank goodness and at least it’s done now!

There’s nothing “miserable” about any sum of money saved, let’s face it, you might not have saved anything so it’s a lot better than that!!!! :j:T:j Be happy! Thank you so much for lovely words.

jakes-mum

Wll done Indigowarrior and Dragon Lily! :T Lots of lovely totals coming in! how exciting DH is desperate to open ours but I wont let him, we will wait till the morning (though i think I might be getting an early wake up call :rotfl:)

Sue! I couldn't possibly leave those poor £2 coins out in the cold until the new pot :eek: think how unloved they would feel! But no fear, I have not got anymore today so it was not an issue anyway

I did however manage to get another lovely £20 note which has gone into the secret note pot that I *may* have forgotten to tell DH about There isn't loads on there as I only started it 4 odd weeks ago but it will still be a nice bonus to our total

1 more sleep everyone! shake out that washing, dig down that sofa, scrabble under that bed! every penny counts

AntoMac

Lots of great totals coming in already. Well done everyone.
Doing some last minute potting having been really careful with what I spend this week. Looking forward to tomorrow and having a good read through to see people's totals.

Sue-UU

It's ok jakes-mum, I obviously forgot who I was talking to! YOU keep money unpotted - NEVER!!!!!! :rotfl: Stick it under your pillow? Or you hubby's? That'll NEVER happen!!!!!! :rotfl:I'll leave you to you scrabbling and see you tomorrow.

Great to see you Ant and glad to hear you've kept your cash in check. All the best for tomorrow!

Have a lovely evening folks and I'll see you tomorrow. :j

Looking forward to everyone's declarations tomorrow!

I’m declaring today as I’m sure I’ll forget tomorrow and I won’t be adding any more before then anyway. So here is number 577 declaring for the first time!!
I have £6.08 in my copper jar and a whopping £54.50 in my spare change tin.
Declaring a total of £60.58.
Considering I was more than happy if I hit £50 for the short time I’ve been here (plus I’m living on my own on a measly student loan) I’m absolutely over the moon!
I’m donating the coppers to charity (it’s not in good enough denominations to bank, it will make me feel like I’ve done something worthwhile and I want a fresh start for SPC11).
The £54.50 is going straight to Christmas presents. I’m hoping to buy the boyfriend a Dutch dash so that might even cover half.

I LOVE THIS GROUP! Thank you all for the support and motivation. I’m aiming for the hundreds next time

PayItOff

Hi! Well done everybody for this year's totals.

Can I join for next year's challenge please? Hoping it'll either pay towards christmas or off some debt

Florence_J

As you all know I had already opened my pot (twice)

My total for the year:

#553 £94.58

See you on the next year thread, well done everyone. Ooooh, I feel all Christmassy now.
