    Hi Sue and everyone :wave:

    Number 025 logging in for the new challenge. I do 99% of my shopping online now so not much lose cash but I will still use cashback money and surveys, I can't think of anything else I can do to get money in my pot but will plod on

    Good luck everyone xx

    I’ve resealed my pot and added a £2 coin to rattle around. Going to the post office this morning to see if I can deposit some of the cash bags into my bank account. Keeping the notes at home for the physical Christmas shopping. I have some half bags of coins. I decided if they were more than half way there I will fill them before the pot and then deposit them later. Looking forward to this year’s challenge; my aim is going to be £200 for Christmas 2020 :D

    A very good [STRIKE]morning [/STRIKE] afternoon :o all SPCers!
    Have a lovely Saturday whatever you're doing.
    To those of you not feeling well, or who are feeling low in any way, take great care of yourselves and here's hoping you soon feel much better! Love and hugs from all your SPC friends. :grinheart



    Hello DukeOfSomewhere! It's so lovely to hear from you, though very sad to hear you've been so very poorly. You've obviously been through some Extremely times, let's hope that now you're on the way back to gaining some good health!
    I think you're very wise in your decisions about Christmas, take time out for the two of you to relax and enjoy each others company.


    I'm so pleased you're at the end of your chemo treatment and wish you all the best for a very healthy and happy New Year!
    We do have at least one other SPC member, that I know of, who's Husband is going through treatment for his own battle with cancer. However, she is hoping he'll be ok by Christmas, let's hope that 2020 will bring you both a very healthy year ahead!! My thoughts and prayers are with you both. :heart:
    Excellent potting, and very shrewd of hubby with potting your haircut cash!
    Congratulations on some very good potting!!!! :j:T:j



    Hi Babs! I see your problem in getting very little cash nowadays, but just keep saving in every way possible! :D


    You sound just like me, Hetty, in putting a £2 coin in the otherwise empty sounding pot. At least it's a fairly substantial sum potted asap!
    All the very best with your hopes of reaching your £200 Target by next October, your Target (in orange) is on thelist !


    All the very best for reaching your £100 next October, Hicksy! Your Target (in orange) is on thelist. Fingers crossed the year will be a kind one for you.

  • Got some change from OH yesterday to pay for parking at local hospital, it was less than I thought, so in my tin it goes. My tin is a lovely llama one from a cheap shop.
