Evening Pottersssssssssss

Oh Siju, so sorry for your loss

Congratulations on your new job iheart

Good luck with your interview Hettyhound, I hope that you are successful

Lots of fabulous potting going on

Sooooo, I have told Sue, but i'm not sure if I had shared with the rest of my potty friends, but last year in may the DWP took away my PIP payments I have been battling against their decision ever since (which is why I have been very sketchy with my appearances over the last 8 months, the fight has taken its toll on my health). Well I was due to attend my tribunal on 19th Feb and just had a phone call this morning from PIP saying they were reinstating my PIP and backdating it to when they cancelled it :j I am soooooo sooooo relieved. I was really getting panicky about the court thing as I get very anxious in face to face situations. It has also helped lift DH out of his depression today, it may only be temporary for him, but when you have that cloud over your family all the time anything that gives respite is precious

Also, DH and I have been chatting and I happened to say 'I wonder how much money we save in parking due to the fact we have blue badges', as DH pointed out, if we could walk any distance we would park further away where it was free, but places like our city centre there is no free parking, you have to park outside and take the park and ride bus or park in the city and pay the parking charge. So we have decided that we are going to start a seperate pot and pot the cost of parking in any situation where we would have paid if we didn't have the badges. I don't think it will be an actual cost to cost ratio as I think we would go out a lot more if we were able, but its a way to save some more pennies for the challenge :rotfl:

A small amount of change added today. Every little helps

We have no snow yet. They keep promising it :snow_laug

Evening

That must be such a relief for you Jakes-mum. Sorry it was stopped in the first place, but someone somewhere has finally seen sense so that's really good news.

Evening Folks! I hope you all had a good day and have taken care in the ice which was terrible here!

For 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


You surely NEVER put money into vending machines, Saving Glut!! :eek: You do??! Really good potting and a fantastic total - so far!!!


You got it right, Hettyhound, the right job is just waiting for you! All the very best when you go for the interview, but if it doesn't come your way, then it's not the one! - yet!

For now, great work with your potting!!!


A good find, very well potted, Moneybutterfly35!! Always be on the lookout!



Well done again, Iheart.

No breakfast club again today due to snow (we couldn't get there in time!) so a reminder I need to pot £2.50, £13.50 I owe the pot.

I'm thinking of checking the pot this weekend and transferring into my bank account so I can earn some interest :-) All going towards Crimbo!

Don't forget the IOUs before you count it all, MushyPeas! :j



Be careful you don't bump in to someone or something while your heads downward looking, NannyG! :wall:At least in doing both challenges your saving money in every way possible for an MSEer!


That's some pretty amazing potting, Babs!!!! :dance:



YAY jakes-mum, that's almost incredible news after all this time!!! :j:dance::j I couldn't be more thrilled for you if you'd won the Lottery!!!!!! :happyhear What one heck of a long fight though. Thank goodness the news came before yours and DH's health deteriorated even more.
I bet the parking money saved will amount to a fair bit over the course of a year! I'm so chuffed for the pair of you. All best wishes to your DH, bless him, and whacking great {{{hugs}}} to you both!! :kisses3:



A small bit of change makes pretty good potting, motivated!! We had a fair bit of snow yesterday, but today's didn't reach us until about an hour ago tonight but there's a nice lot out there so far! :j I LOVE it, but hate its dangers!!!!!


Hiya 32b3, it's good to see you. The weekend is only a day away for you! :dance:

Have a VERY SAFE Friday, SPCers! Keep REALLY WARM everyone, please!

Sue

NB folks: Opening date for SPC 12 will be 31st October 2019


Anyone wishing to join us, it's NEVER too late, so please just ask, you'll be made very welcome!

Brilliant news Jakes-Mum.

Guilty as charged Sue-UU. Will aim to not feed the vending machine for the month of Feb.

Loose change added this evening,

Found another 1p roadkill and a getaway 5p in my coat pocket. Both secure in my pot now!

Morning everyone,
Still potting away here. No idea how much is in it but the tin now has a reassuring weight to it.
