£65 banker into my sealed pot account taking its total to £301.35. I'm struggling to pot anything other than Facebook/eBay sales, Quidco payments and surveys. I'm starting a new shopping wallet withdrawing my ESA and trying to use just that for our fortnightly food. I'm hoping there may be some coinage to pot!Finally Debt Free 24/4/20230

More potting this evening so now over £165 in the jar.Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.0

Hello again Potters!!! I'm so sorry to have been missing for so long. Hubby & I have been really poorly for a few weeks with a viral infection. My poor hubby even needed 2 different lots of antibiotics to finally get him feeling better. Neither of us has been this ill for a very long time! I hope you've all managed to stay illness free.
For all others who are not well or who are low in spirits, take great care of yourselves. Get well soon and {{{{hugs}}}} from all the SPC family. :grinheart
I notice you too have been poorly, Vicky, I hope you're very much better now! No doubt your trip to NY has helped you recouperate!
So sorry to hear about your arm, jakes-mum, your mum's ankle too. I hope you're both fully recovered now.
It's wonderful to see just how brilliantly you've all been saving! I'm really proud of you all!!
Choccygirl, please don't worry that you needed to take money out of your pot; on my first post I assure you all to do exactly that rather than need to overspend in any other way!
It's wonderful to see you again, mrs-moneypenny! Sorting through your hubby's things must have been hard for you, I think we can all appreciate that. Even so, he still managed to leave you unexpected cash! Well done. Come back soon.
Loz, what a shame one person spoiled things for the rest of you, put it down to their ignorance!
Siju, fantastic news that you truly enjoyed your Easter in a way you and hubby deserved! It helps us realise how great those times are, also to still cherish family times.
32b3, I nearly wrote to you a few days ago, but then hoped I'd come on the thread anyway. Fingers crossed for you with next year's Marathon!Have a Fantastic Weekend, SPCers, and don'tforget...... your pots need feeding!!!
Sue
NB folks: Opening date for SPC 12 will be 31st October 2019
