I’d like to join you please

Will have a look for a tin to use. I sold an unexpected item on eBay last night so have £15 to start it off with.

£1 and shrapnel in the can today. I have started to use cash again instead of the card and I think I am more aware of how much I am spending and I also have change for my pot so win win :T

Hello and welcome twigletcaz (I'm going to cheat a bit now, lol!) SueUU our conscience and leader will be along soon and allocate your number which is yours for ever 😂 In the words of Sue I quote “Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. PS. We always empty our pots and declare our savings in November, please make a note of this year's date: 29th Oct 2020.”

£15 is a good amount to start off with :T

before this gets into full swing I think I am going to have to change my idea. At moment was doing penny a day challenge plus extra in a pot till 29th October. This is proving far difficult than I first thought ( I am starting backwards) so am thinking should I just change it to a £1 per day plus pot for coppers, or save the date challenge plus a copper pot.
Any ideas welcomed.....

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend?

Had a good haul today total potted £7.35! I am finding using cash for everything instead of card keeps me far more accountable and I am enjoying seeing my savings pots growing

Not sure if this will help but I am doing the penny a day challenge too, but rather than start at the beginning or end of it I cross off what ever amount of change I put in my pot, you can always add smaller days amounts together to make a larger number and cross off 2 days at once or half a larger number the end result works out the same I also keep my £2 coins separate in another jar I count them in the SPC challenge but not my penny saving. GL with your challenges

Another shiney gold star for you mummytummy for a lovely welcome. :staradmin BTW A word in your ear.... this year's declaration date is 29th October 2020!!! Don't forget.



Hi there SPCers!!! :hello:
I hope everyone's had a really super weekend and ready for the week ahead - or not!! I hope you're all keeping warm brrr..:cool:, saving well too!
For all those who may be poorly in any way, take good care of yourselves and here's hoping you all recover quickly. :grinheart



Many thanks for popping your No on your siggy, scotmumof3, and making a good start with your potting! Keep up the good work. It's good to hear that saving without the use of your card is working out well for you. I quite agree that it keeps you more on the ball where cash is concerned!



Congratulations on your £10 win, Loopylucy!!! :j


Well done with your survey cash, delta13!! I do the same.



Brilliant work Pmo2, be proud of yourself.

Your own idea sounds excellent to my mind, Mrs W! Why not give it a try and see how you get on, it's worth that at least.

BTW don't forget that all MSE challenge Totals can be included with your SPC cash when you declare in October.

Have a excellent week, folks! Don't forget to POT what you can when you're able!!!! :xmassmile
