I'm sure folk ringing in such ways would stop at nothing,
little_sweetie. Thank goodness after 48 (crikey nearly 49!) years I definitely know Terry
well enough!
I'm really pleased you're resisting the temptation to count your savings.
I've never even contemplated looking at mine in all the years of doing SPC, I
love waiting to see. 🥳
You take care, G too xx
Hi 32b3! 🤩 So, you're a huge step closer to Declaration Day having
counted up already! At least it's all secure now. 😃
Ah there you are Chocolatedrinker! I've noticed your absence, but
it's good to see you. Well, the day will soon be here now, fingers crossed that
you'll have enough to make a dent in your debt, though whatever it is it'll at
least bring it down!! All the best to you for it being enough to clear yourself
of debt altogether!!

Hi Livingintheblack. No, it's definitely not been easy with that
blasted Covid being with us for sure! 😡 Ok then, have that extra time to
yourself to get a little extra for Christmas. I'm glad you told us or I'd have
taken you off of the list 2 weeks after the 29th! Looking forward to seeing you
at the end of November.
Thanks a lot for the update, mummytummy! It'll soon whiz along
now.
You're a jammy so and so, jakes-mum!! I'm sure you'd drag £2 coins
from the devil 😈 given half a chance. Not long to go now.

Hi everyone hope all ok with you and yours as much as possible in this strange world. I think am going to add my online saver change to my actual pot (not much in there as usually transfer back into my account) on count up day as still no cash being spent! Then I intend to use the full amount to go towards a credit card payment . I will be doing this again next time, thank you lovely people 😀😀

You do that welshspendthrift, and be happy with it. It's been a rotten year in so many ways and from all I've heard we'll have another very much like it again next year! Still, no doubt we'll handle it as best we can, I just hope not too many more die as a result. Very sad, but we'll get by as best we can. Look after yourself and save well.

Hi Sue, have you set up the new sealed pot challenge? I'm very tempted as I need to get some control of my spending x Thanks

Hi Candy, we never stop people saving in any way here! The new thread has been set up and is rearing to go BUT...won't actually go live until the day after this year's SPC is declared. However, don't let that stop you as you can start potting or saving via bank (due to Covid ) right now!!!!!! IF you do join us, please regularly coming to the thread to keep yourself motivated.
Many thanks and here's hoping to see you as a fully fledged member SOON!

Another £7.76 in my pot today. Ventured out for a haircut today before our lockdown starts on Friday. Let's hope it's not 4 months like the last time! Keep safe and well Potters. xx
Thanks @Sue-UU. I've actually managed to squirrel a few quid away these last few days so i will accept my small pot this year, declare on the 29th with everyone else and start on the 30th to build a good pot for next year!
Few more pounds in the pot from travel savings. Just a week to go now. Good point about the money bags Sue - I have a small quantity but (hopefully!) not enough

Finally managed to get on new site- been struggling since they updated it - won’t load on my usual gizmos so am now on my phone 👍. Made an effort as knew counting up time is close ( marked on calendar). Unfortunately due to this year’s shenanigans my bottle is depressingly empty in comparison to previous , but at least it’s got something in it for me to count 🤣. Will be back on counting up day with the total
