    Seem to be getting £2 coins from all directions just lately, another 2 today and a 5p potted which I found in the rim of the washing machine.

    Hope everyone is keeping warm and safe

    Ahh thank you my potty friends, yes we are very very relieved, I didn't realise how much it was effecting us until I got off the phone, suddenly all this weight just left me and poor DH started to cry bless him so he had obviously been worrying a lot more than he was letting me know. (Will be keeping a much closer eye on him to make sure he doesn't bottle this stuff up again! I keep telling him, the money is my worry not his, he does the hands on stuff like shelf building and car fixing, I do the money things).

    Thank you for your hugs Sue, DH and I will take them gladly :D we had a very big relief filled hug ourselves after the phone call but you are always welcome to join in :rotfl: :grouphug:

    I realised I got so carried away with my news I completely forgot to post how much I potted :rotfl: that is very unlike me! well it was definitely silver and an oddment of coins, thats about as much as I remember :rotfl:

    Today I have £1.20 for my pots, they should now get fed much better! :D

  • Still going strong here but finding very little roadkill which makes up the majority of my sealed pot. But did manage to pot a few coins this week so making slow but steady progress.

  • Roadkill of 1p today and got given almost £4 in change so that has gone into the pot before I spent it.

    Evening potters, hope your keeping well.
    I've been ruthless and potted all the change from my purse and i definitely saw the glint of gold in there so should be a healthy potting session! :j

    Well, I didn't honestly think you'd respond to that, Saving Glut, glad you did though and all the best for what you'll save as a result!! :j

    Great stuff with the other potted cash too!!!

    Evening all Folks or should that be goodnight! :think: I hope you all had a really good day and took great care in the snow and ice which was way more again this morning!!
    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


    Hello there, Lost, and well done with all you've saved, hubby too!!! :dance: How could you be so awful about him?! Yep, easy!! :rotfl:

    Good to see you, Bounty, especially as you clearly have a good amount potted!!! Isn't it marvellous to know you'll have money safely put by for Christmas!!!! :T

    That's fantastic, MushyPeas!! No not the money potted, but that I'm lovely Sue!!!!!! YAY!!:rotfl: Sorry, a bit carried away there. Of course your potted cash was just fantastic, you've done brilliantly out of there having been no breakfast clubs!!! Back to normal next week apparently. :(

    Oooh you jammy devil, Iheart, and I get - none!! :eek: Don't worry, I don't get stroppy about others having them instead, not like jakes-mum, ooh she is one stroppy [STRIKE]moo[/STRIKE]...erm lady! :rotfl:Well done you!!


    Great news, weenapoops!!! You needed a day's rest in order to be able to collect it!!! :j

    Oh glory, look out, here comes stroppy!

    Ah bless your DH, jakes-mum, it's sad when our fellas get really dragged down with all the worries. I can never switch my T off from money worries, bless him. He's such a craftsman too, but I think finances are bound to worry the men in our lives, it's in their nature.

    I'll resist joining in with THAT kind of hug thanks! :eek: Why do they have such dodgy ones here, possibly Martin's idea!!!!! :rotfl:
    WHAT no £2ers from you???!! :eek:

    Some coins v no coins has to be good, claremylove!! :D I've had no roadkill for yonks either, some folk are really careful...or tight!! :mad:

    Wonderful work, Salesharky!! :D

    Oooh very well done, Raggle!! Keep at it. :dance:
    I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, 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!

    Siju - I am so sorry for your loss. Virtual hugs coming your way.

    jakes-mum - :j :j Great news for you and DH! What a massive weight being lifted off your shoulders. Do they give you an apology too? Or is that too much to expect?

    Sorry for being MIA, but I haven't potted a thing recently - until now. The teeny tiny amount of money I was paid (having been overpaid) is a real struggle not to dip into my savings. I'm trying not to touch any of the overpayment/savings, hence this lack of potting. However, in trying to not dip into those savings, it does mean that I have earned a whopping £1.11 in interest last month. Duly popped into my SPC "pot". And then £11.27 from Top Cashback... And about £4 from DH's carelessness. ;) So, none of my own, but all going on.

    Onwards and upwards.

    Well funny you should say that, I just [STRIKE]forced[/STRIKE] convinced Miss Lily to swap up 2 that she got in a birthday card from her party today :D

    WHO has been getting my £2 coins again??? I really think this needs to be added to the first page that all £2 coins are MINE! :rotfl:
