finally ahd some change to pot - about £7 made it to my pot; Jack has topped his up too.
Oopsy sorry Sue-Ue yes I had a little boy on 23rd December. He has yet to receive a name however 'hiccup' has remained as his nickname. Little Jack is loving being big brother so phew on that front.

Happy New Year everybody.
£1.50 potted for me today. Other members of the motivated household have been out and each got a tin from the pound shop. They are joining in and there is now a competition. Let the potting wars begin

Evening potters!!
Ooooo Congratulations Hickles and Jack
A new SPC baby
shall await update on name but loving the nickname (our DD is nicknamed chunky monkey :rotfl: )
Hopefully you'll feel better soon Sue, I too have had the dual cameras and it is not an experience I wish to repeat ever! Not eating for 2 days messed me up more than I thought possible!
Adventure of Memories, you can include all your pots in your SPC total as they are all your savings
Quite a few of us have multiple pots, our dear Sue has one for each type of coin :eek: I have a £2 coin, £1 coin and shrapnel tins (cos the lovely shiny £2 and £1 don't like to fraternise with the common folk!
) and I also had a Disney holiday pot going as well last year which all got included on count up day 
DH gave me £5.73 for the pot and accepted a £5 note back in its place
so £5.70 split into the tins 
I shall be a bit sporadic with my posting for a while, things are not good in the jakesmum household and I need to concentrate on sorting things out
I shall read along though so everyone needs to post lots to keep my morale up
