Yes Westie, here we go indeed!!!!! Have a great day and weekend everyone!

Ah lovely to see you back for another run, Westie!! Darn it, I really thought I’d got those dates spot on, obviously not, but thanks so much for letting me know! You deserve a gold star for that for certain. :staradmin

Thanks for the :staradmin, I have added it and now I'm over the 10 stars mark whoooopie....

Nothing to post or pot, but just showing my appreciation to Sue-UU

Aw bless you DreamerHelen, I'm sending you lots of hugs :grouphug:. Hope you are feeling more upbeat today

No potting yet, but I have to visit the supermarket on the way home tonight, so I'm hoping for some lovely money to feed my pot.

Hello,

Could I join in with this please? I'm a bit sceptical about managing to save in this method, especially since I don't use much cash, so let's see if I could get £50 by next year.

Just need to find a pot. What else do I need to do? Put a number somewhere?

Sorry, can you tell I'm new to this?!

Welcome Katiepants, you are most welcome to join us!

Our delightful leader Sue-UU will appear soon and allocate you your very own one of a kind, not to be lost stolen or strayed SPC number. She will ask you to desplay it with pride on your signature for all to see and should you be a 'banker' (someone who likes to bank their pottings throughout the year) to pop any amounts you bank next to it so no pennies get missed on declaring day

Have a read of post one that holds lots of very interesting and informative information in it about declaration day, what we can include in our 'pottings' etc ad any questions you may have you can always ask on here and we'll all be happy to help you out.

Don't worry about being sceptical, you are not the first and no doubt wont be the last, a lot of us find it an easy way to save as we chuck our loose change in a pot and as its such small denominations we don't even miss it, others of us are very hard core and pretty much every time we break a note all the coins get potted! Its a very addictive past time :rotfl:

Now grab yourself a pot, can be anything you like! A terramundi (if your flush), a £land sealed tin or even like the more frugal members (like me) an old coffee tin with the top sliced open and a shed load of cellotape round it :rotfl: it don't have to be pretty it just has to hold cash!

DS came home today from the uncles house with a jar that had a load of change in it counted it out and there was £11 in silver and £3 in coppers, bagged up the coppers to change at the bank and swapped £10 of the silver with a £10 note and potted it all my silver tin no longer clangs it chinks again

Great, thanks for the helpful posts.

Still need to find a suitable pot, but have started it off with some change out of my purse that was annoying and heavy.
