  • Hello all

    Can I join for next year? I have my pot ready, it's a pretty cardbox box that had makeup in it and I have sellotaped it shut quite thoroughly. I'm going to save whatever bits of change I have left everyday and have a think about what else I can add. I will try for a target of £100.

    Thank you!

    I would like to join for next year. I have already got my pot set up - I'm trying to decide whether to do it virtually, physically or both. I don't handle cash very often nowadays, doing all my groceries online and most of my shopping via debit card to get cashback (thank you halifax lol). For the time being I have a coffee tin on my window ledge and will be putting my spare change in there. I'm not sure I want to have a target.....will just be happy to have it as some spare spends for next Christmas :D Thanks for having me.

    aimeemum, you can still save with your pot IF you want to take a certain amount from your account every week, month or whatever; you can even alter the amount so it'll still be a surprise at the end of the year. Have a read through the first post and see what you think.


    You gave me a smile on reading what you've done to preserve your pot cash, Hetty. :D It won't be long now until it's empty and you're doing whatever you want with the innerds!! :j


    It makes us SPCers wonder why on earth folk don't pot cash, eh indigowarrior - madness - unless she saved notes of course! ;)



    What jakes-mum, a day without spending for you?!! :eek: Time's racing along now!!!!! :j

    Ok folks ONLY ONE LEFT!!! :j
    Don't forget to pot all you're able to! :dance:

  • Afternoon,

    Count up day is tomorrow and I am off work on holiday for two days :D I have been to the bank at lunchtime to get more money bags, so I am all prepared.

    I am interested to see how much is in the demi-john as that is quite heavy. The terramundi I think is about a third full of £2 coins.
