    I have been reading this thread tonight and I am inspired to join you all.

    I am going to sort out my box/tin/jar tomorrow and my first payment will be what I have made on a cash back site so will be able to advise the total then.

    Many thanks x

    Hello all Potters, I hope you've all had a lovely Friday, and are looking forward to enjoying a super weekend! :j
    To all those 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


    Many thanks for helping me out, 3forholidays, here's another of those shiny gold stars as reward. :staradmin


    The makings of another good day eh, Homegrown!!


    Well done whatever it amounts to, Purplemumof2!!!


    Hi there mummytummy, I see you're doing all the right things, excellent work and keep it up!!! :D



    How right you are, siju, a perfect potting day indeed, and oh what a sum you have!!!! :D

    Hi, I have had to change my username, but would like to keep my same number please....#110. Are you able to change it over please? Thanks
    Still nothing else in pot for a few days as not been spending. But will definitely be putting as much in as I can


    Lifeisforliving19 - Yes, that's perfectly ok and you're up and running again. You save as and when you're able, and always try to make savings on known brands...and pot those savings!! Just seen your latest post: Fantastic news, I'm really pleased for you!!! :DFingers crossed it keeps going!


    Yay MushyPeas, a superb sum!!! :j Just as you are being motivated by the posts of others, I'll bet there are a lot of us finding yours a great incentive for sure!!!! ;)


    Oh poor you, Vicky! :( Ah but... you have just the tonic necessary to aid your recovery!! Good old hubby to the rescue of course, along with your SW £5er!! :j Very well done on also seeing through those expensive medications..a humongous saving!!!! :eek: Even our GP told hubby NOT to get a specific (beginning with V for any muscular pains) saying the cheaper non specific brands are JUST as good if not the same! Well done indeed Vicky and get well soon! :D



    A brilliant amount potted, 32b3!!!! What with that and it being Friday, you're all set up to really enjoy yourself!!! Have a great weekend. :dance:



    There you are SPCers, read above and SAVE!!!!! :j



    Well done NannyG!!


    Well that was certainly a stroke of luck, weenapoops, congratulations!!! :T



    Good for you, Saving Glut, so often a little luck comes along at times!! :T



    I'm very puzzled, datlex?! However can you raid a Sealed Pot?! ;)Not entirely sure what you've done but as I'm in a rush I reckon I can be forgiven.


    Wonderful savings and great news, Lucy!!! :dance: No doubt your DD2 will gradually get to grips with driving her new car, it's not long since she passed anyway and they always say, it's then that the proper handling of driving starts! So with the added problems of a new car it's all bound to have thrown her. At least she'll be staying cautious, wise girl! ;)

    I know exactly what you mean about being a Granny and all the joys it brings, sadly my youngest is 12 but the 2 Great-Grandkiddies are now bringing such joy! Thoroughly enjoy it all Lucy!! :D



    It's a real help when members such as you help me out, Robin, and I'm really grateful. :grinheartExcellent work with all you've potted, by golly you're doing marvellously, keep it up!!! :jYou have a lovely weekend too.


    Super potting, Loz!! Don't worry about next week just keep up the great work when you're able. :D


    £15 added to our pot when DH & I arrived back from shopping, really chuffed!! :dance:

    Have a lovelyWEEKEND!! Save well if it's possible. :dance:

    Hi all,
    Hope your keeping well and had a good week.
    Been a tough week for potting most of the week only managing 15-30p each day mon-thurs. But today i broke a £10 note only to spend 80p. So i went really rash and potted the £4.20 change.
    Woot woot, happy potting :)

    Sue-UU - I think I speak/type on behalf of many potters, but I really do appreciate how you know many of our little nuances. I appreciate the fact that you respond to each and every one of us personally. No doubt you take copious amounts of notes - and you could write a book about our dramas ;) - but it really does make it a fantastic online community. We're very lucky to have you - as are your family, obviously. :D So thank you. :T:T:T:T

    £1.51 potted. Bring on 31st October! :beer:

  • Another 45p added today, change from the butcher. Am tempted to count it up so far and keep a running total, but think I would rather have the surprise.
