  • Hi Everyone :hello:

    I'd like to join the gang if you'll have me? I already have my sealed pot (tin) and have added a few pennies just to get started. I've also subscribed to the thread so I don't lose you and I get regular reminders!

    Thanks all

    Hello beach-holiday
    You're very welcome here. There's lots of guidance in post 1. The lovely Sue will give you a number when she's back on. You might want to set yourself a savings target? If so, let Sue know
    Good luck and stick with it. SPCing is a good habit to get into

  • Hi all, would love to join too, I have been saving £2 and 50p and plastic fivers for about a month now in a sealed pot but didn't know about this thread. I already do surveys throughout the year to pay for Christmas so this would be a nice little added extra :D

  • Found £4.30 in the bottom of my bag today...no idea where it has come from but I do have a habit of just dropping my change in my bag rather than putting in my purse if I'm in a rush. In the pot it goes x
    Sometimes you just have to throw on a crown and remind them who they are dealing with

    Hi All

    Please can I join

    Need to start saving for next Christmas. I am not going to set a target as don't want to put any pressure on myself, whatever I manage will be an improvement on this year.

    I am starting with an old tea tin which I have just put £1 in :D Next time I am in £land I will get a sealed tin to transfer everything. My pot needs to be very well sealed (ie manufactured) otherwise I don't trust myself to dip into it :o
