    Hi SPCers! :D I hope you've all had a really lovely weekend, especially with this glorious weather! :j Keep enjoying the next couple of days if possible. Look after yourselves, as well as your.... pots! ;)
    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

    That's what I call brilliant saving, Whatshername!!!! Great work!:dance:

    No, I don't remember you saying about finding a £1 outside, Homegrown, but excellent work!!! Well done with the other one you also managed to save!! Well potted with both!!!! :j

    We have to be so careful with what we buy eh, jakes-mum!! Frightening really! Goodness only knows how parents of kiddies with real allergies get on...as you yourself know only too well!! I see one of the weather reporters has all 3 of his kiddies with very serious allergies!! It must be terrifying!
    My favourite cereal is Shredded Wheat, absolutely love it with cold milk!!!!
    So, you mean you had no money to put in ..zilch ...diddly squat??!!! :eek: Oh dear....most unusual for you.


    Well saved, Hettyhound!! I'm so pleased your little darling deserved his £1, which no doubt cheered him up. Sorry to hear he felt so poorly, simply tired I suppose. I don't blame him for feeling hard done by with missing out on his party bag, you'd have thought the mum would have given him one, especially as he felt so rough, poor little chap. Really glad he's feeling a lot better today.

    Well, as you know, Maddie, it's always lovely to see all our members, but there are always reasons why it's not possible. Yours is one of those times, after all, who could complain about someone doing all that's possible to gain extra money! By golly, you have been doing brilliantly!!!! :j Don't get over doing it, but good luck in getting the work while it's there!!

    Good for you, Loz, shifting your CC on to an interest free card will certainly save you a nice tidy sum! :dance: Excellent work, excellent saving in the pot too!!!

    Hello there Buffy! It's great to see you dropped by. I'm really pleased you've decided NOT to count as you pot if you'd want to borrow from it, in which case just keep on popping it in!! :D Happy potting Buffy, here's hoping to seeing you soon again.
    Havey a good Tuesday, folks! Don't forget to feed your pots!! :D

  • Nice work Babs! :DHow's your dear lad and the car? Both ok fingers crossed!


    He's fine thanks Sue-UU passed his theory test this morning actually! so very proud of him love him to bits.


    Had to go down town for milk today so the change has been potted, Can't drive at the moment as I have a frozen shoulder and changing gear is too painful, but once I've had the jab there will be no stopping me again.

    Well hellooooooooo you lovely potters. :hello:

    I have returned! Pay has been rectified and I'm now back to what I SHOULD be receiving. Thank goodness. I've had a small potting effort of £4.16. Still holding out for 10 x £2 coins which I had in my dreams a couple of months ago... still nothing! Not even ONE. Not a sniff!

    Anyway, it's good to be back and in the land of the potting!

    added a few pennies to my pot, as I got a refund from a few outstanding cases on TCB and Quidco

    Hi all SPCers! :D I hope you've all had a great Wednesday, and if possible, even if it's in walking to work, made the most of the glorious weather on its last day :( ...for now! :j Keep enjoying yourselves if possible. Look after yourselves ...and your.... pots! ;)

    Congratulations to your DS, Babs, I'm so pleased to hear the news. :j

    Oh Babs, I do so sympathise with you with having a frozen shoulder! :( I've had it twice and they're wickedly painful, especially at night. :mad: Take great care of yourself, and as you say, the sooner you can get the injection the better you'll be!! How are they intending to resolve it?? Do you have thyroid problems? I have hypothyroidism and it makes all sufferers more prone to FS for some reason. All the best to you for a quick relief!! :grinheart



    Hiya 32b3, I hope you had a good time away, bearing in mind the sad loss of your friend, if it was here within the UK you'll have had some amazing weather, just as we all have!!!! Yes, back to potting again! ;)


    Hiya Vicky! I'm so thrilled your money is all sorted out and you're back to normal again! :dance:
    A shame your dream didn't materialise, but it still might...if you're lucky!! :D Fingers crossed once more. Well done with what you've potted, not bad at all given your circumstances!!!!


    Excellent potting, weenapoops!!!! Little surprises like the one you had when cleaning at least make cleaning worth doing!! :rotfl:



    Every penny counts for sure, Westie!! :D Have TCB & Quidco merged yet, d'you know? If not it won't be long.




    Have a lovely evening and super Thursday, folks! Don't forget to feed your pots!! :D

    Just checking in with my monthly Save The Change, £10.93 paid to my credit card this month, taking my total to £54.11!
    Lots of change and a few £5 notes potted over the last few weeks. And the odd £2 coin but not many.... I think we're causing a shortage lol xx

    Evening all. Payday tomorrow for me so have potted all remaining grocery money after today’s light touch shop (milk, bread and fruit). It was £8.65 which is unheard for me, I never normally have money remaining. I’ve also got £10 “luxuries” money left in my purse. I’ve got my eye on a red hydrangea at £5 so might pot the other fiver. :j
