Hi everyone!

Sorry - I have been lurking in the background reading posts but not really posting - I hid my tin away from little hands but this also meant that I kept forgetting about the pot too, for weeks at a time sometimes... must get better next year!

I have just counted and my pot total is £44.33. Considering there was only £19 using £1 coins and above I guess this isn't too bad. I also save money when I reload my supermarket gift card and have saved £101 from this, so a total of £145.43 for me.

Pot is now sealed and all ready for the next challenge, I'm looking forward to it! Thanks for all your encouragement :j

Another great year of saving eh Frogletina!!! :j Congratulations to you on a vast amount!!! Where have you been lately? I've notice you MIA! See you on SPC 12 tomorrow.

Hi Sue

I will definitely be on SPC 12 tomorrow and know already what my first update will be - but you will have to wait until tomorrow for that.

But my last savings yesterday were

10% off my shopping with a co-op voucher - totalled 58p
I used a £1.75 voucher for Holland and Barrett, my purchase only cost me 10p

I will also get 5% off my shopping at Waitrose and 10% at Robert Dyas because I used my Santander Card - I will add to my sealed pot when I get the details shown on my statement.

I always show the full cost against my grocery budget and pot the difference.

I would have put in 60p for my free newspaper but I didn't have enough money in that budget so I didn't have the 60p to pot!

Thanks for letting me know what it all meant, Bubbs, it's quite a relief!! :rotfl:


Bless you for your very kind words, 32b3. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. BTW, I must have a look at the Natwest coin counter, it sounds ....mmmmmm, different, but we'll see! :cool:


So long as your Total is "massive to you" Babs, and you're over the moon about the amount, that means a huge amount to me as I just love the pleasure SPCers get from ANY amount they've saved. Congratulations to you, you've done brilliantly, especially as it's your first time of saving!!!! :T I'm really proud of you and can tell you are also!!! I really do look forward to seeing you on SPC 12 tomorrow - and when you've had a full year's saving!! :j

Well, goooooooooooooooood evening everyone! Particularly YOU Sue-UU! :wave: #153 reporting for duty!

I've been MIA on the thread and forums, but that doesn't mean I've been shirking from my potting duties - oh no! DH has continued to leave small change hanging around and I've continued to pot it! :rotfl:

My potting total for SPC 11 has been.... £782.13. Not bad considering I dropped my hours at work to part-time. :j :j :j

Thanks to Sue-UU for her amazing efforts. No doubt there's a lovely spreadsheet in the background which she's using. Same again for SPC 12?

Hiya Vicky! :hello: I'm thrilled to bits to see you back again, I've really missed you but it's marvellous to know you're still doing well with saving, though I certainly didn't doubt you would have.

Yes, SS ready and waiting for all and hubby using it well, bless him. Thanks so much for your lovely words. Keep up the great work with hubby!! :j Very MSE :money: Take great care of yourself.
