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


    I just LOVE post such as yours,
    DancingUnicorn, as it really makes me happy when members achieve more than they would have hoped for, especially as you're on a student loan!! Many congratulations to you for such marvellous saving!!!!! :j:T:j I've no idea what you're buying you boyfriend for Christmas but I hope he really enjoys it, maybe you too! :D Be so proud of all you've saved DU, and NEVER STOP!!!! ;)

    You deserve to feel Christmassy, Florence, it makes you that way on counting all that cash as it almost feels as though someone's given you a gift! I did say almost. ;) Congratulations to you on a terrific amount!!!!!!! :j:T:j

    Brilliant saving once again Owlet!!!!! Having enough to pay for your glasses is huge in itself as they are so costly! Many congratulations to you and I'm so pleased you're delighted with it. :j:T:j See you next year! ;)

    Just thought to check in but it's bedtime now, so will open my can tomorrow evening and add up my various totals. Just transferred another £72.31 from my PayPal account, and my Quidco total is £103.26 (with another £57.30 still tracking but that will set me up for next year); it might not be in my account by tomorrow but I will still count it as I've withdrawn it from Quidco now.

    The account that this money goes into does have a very healthy balance at the moment, but some of it was already there so I will need to work out which money counts towards my SPC from the transactions.

    Here's looking forward to seeing you tomorrow then Lynne, though looking at the clock, it'll very soon be here. ;)

    WOW 32b3, what an amazing amount you've saved for yourself once again and all into $$$s so swiftly, great stuff!!!!! :dance: So many congratulations to you and have a wonderful time when enjoying yourself in the US!!!!!!!! :j:T:j Thanks for those really lovely words, all so appreciated, but also remember that if it weren't for you other stars there backing me up things would have been a lot more stressful for me, so thank you too for being a great back up! :D Terry's had an op today to remove a lump from his face, a mild form of skin cancer, but as always - it could have been so much worse! :grinheart

    Very well done indeed, MrsShazbat and I'll see you tomorrow! :D

    Don’t worry Frogletina, but if you’re able to recall how much you had to pay out then by all means be sure to include it on Thursday as YOU HAD SAVED IT PRIOR TO THEN!!!! You sort it all out and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!!!! :j

    Thanks for including me in your latest post Sue. I did replace the money but not into my actual sealed pot - I left it in my accounts. So when I count my money up it I will include that in the total and it all will be allocated once again to my Christmas and birthdays budget.

    It's nearly tomorrow but I will wait until the morning before I open my sealed pot.

  • Good morning everyone

    WOW how fast has this year gone and, having opened my pig and done a little counting, I can't believe how effective this challenge is!

    #574 declaring £554.30

    One huge big "Thank You" to Sue-UU and everyone on here for keeping this challenge alive and fun. I swore I was only going to save the coins left at he end of the week and then people started saving £5 notes and I thought "why's do how?" - £325 later and the answer is obvious and it runs out it is quite easy to do.

    So looking forward to SPC11

    Take care and congrats to everyone
