    £7 potted from the payday purse empty.  All Christmas presents bought and paid for thanks to sealed pot and I’ve even wrapped them all so feeling somewhat smug 🎅

    Good Morning all SPCers! I hope you all has a super weekend, a good Monday too folks. Keep warm, and very healthy!!  3
     TAKE CARE & STAY HEALTHY EVERYONE!!
    For all those of you who are either poorly or feeling low or miserable in any way, our very best wishes that you'll soon be feeling very much better.    <3

    Hello there MrsShazbat, good to see you and thank you for your kind words. I'm pleased to see you also are going to use the Plum app, it's all included in SPC when you declare.
    Take care when shopping and I hope you manage to get all you need. 

    Hi 32b3, didn't we do brilliantly given the year it's been, also with such a great reduction in Members; I'm so sorry we lost so many, but I'm sure we know the reason for that!! 😡 Take care of yourself.

    Hi again Franlow01, we really have done marvellously with Covid 19 being so prevalent. Let's hope it doesn't affect us too much more though I've a horrible feeling there might be a 3rd spike come January! 🤨
    Great potting, with excellent work with the win! 😍
    Oooh, you have my heartfelt thoughts concerning your dear Labrador, it's a rotten time to go through and even though it's happened many times before it's still so very hard to make that dreadful decision! With Labs they always carry on eating until the end, bless them. Bon courage Franlow01, we all know you need it. 
    We all make that same decision about not having another towards the end of our hairy friends lives, but I've yet to meet an owner that doesn't go back on it. 😐 So much love, hugs and best wishes to you.  <3

    That's fine Ant, your Target has been updated and the very best of luck with achieving it, though no doubt you're right in that it's that time of year for making you concerned.

    Very well done with your potting Candy! Yes, I well recall what it felt to handle cash, silver and bronze coloured if I remember correctly. 😉 Well done in putting a reminder on for Declaration Day, please could you alter your SPC No for me? You've all been promoted now. 🤩

    So pleased to hear that ALL your Christmas presents were paid and bought for from the money you saved so well here on SPC Hetty!! 👏 🤩 You deserve to feel smug! ☺️

    Excellent work with the money via Plum, LivingInTheBlack, it's a fantastic sum and no cash spent wrongly!! 🥰 A very good find with the 20p too!!! ☺️

    Great work mummytummy!! 👏 I wish they'd revert to doing that over here! 🤨 There's still way too much plastic being used and then just chucked away!! 😡

    Wow, we're on Page 19 already! 😳 Well done everyone!! 👏

    Not a good day for me yesterday, I've trapped a nerve in my spine such a pest. 😥 Still, it;s been 5 days now so with luck it'll soon be much better.

    I hope have all have really lovely Tuesday & Wednesday WEEKEND folks! KEEP VERY SAFE and SAVE lots😊

    xx Sue xx

    Franlow01, I feel for you  <3. Our lab is 14 now and although his heart is good, his back end is starting to wear... he stands like a hyena most of the time .....except when there's food involved, then he becomes a bouncing, bounding puppy again.  
    Poor you, Sue-UU, there's no getting away from trapped nerve pain.  I hope it eases soon  :*  DH has been having sciatica pain recently and I have been trying to get him to do some gentle yoga stretches but it's very difficult when you are in pain.  He seems to be on the road to recovery now though.  Between him and the dog, I feel like I'm the only one who can walk properly!
    In potting news, I have £25 to add to my pot today :)  Have a lovely weekend folks.  Keep potting!

    21p roadkill!  1p from the same car park I found 8p in last week and 20p outside Tesco.  Maybe people are not use to this concept called “money” and just don’t know how to handle it 🤣

    Thanks for updating my target @Sue-UU - I still hope to save more than my target.  Used willpower to not buy a nice cup of coffee and potted the amount instead.
    Sorry to hear of your back trouble - you seem to get more than your share of aches and pains but you accept it with good grace.  Mind you, you’re a lady. For us men any pain is so much worse!  ;)
    Anyway, I’m off to find @Hettyhound ‘s car park!
    Stay safe everyone

    A very Good Morning Potters! :) I hope you all have a super Friday, folks. Keep warm, and very healthy!!  3

    Excellent work LivingInTheBlack!!! 🤩

    Thanks so very much, SIJU, it's not until you go through it yourself that you fully realise just how painful it is. It seems to happen periodically and is awful. It's been over a week this time.
    Your poor Hubby with his sciatica too, that's another extremely painful and periodic one too. Alternating with cold (frozen peas wrapped in a hand towel for about 15 minutes) then 15 minutes with heat is a great way of relieving it. Do try it and see how it goes. Yoga is said to be brilliant too, so you're doing well there. I do hope he gets relief soon. 😘
    Your poor dog, I do feel for him, though at least feeding time is fun. 🐶
    Brilliant potting and have a wonderful weekend!! 

    Keep scouring the car parks, Hetty!! You've done very well there! 😍

    Bless you for your lovely words, Ant, you're so kind. 😘
    You're welcome to the update, fingers crossed you go above and beyond! 🤗
    Good luck with Hetty's pad! 😉
    You stay safe too Ant.

    I'm feeling a good bit better today thanks folks, nearly free of pain and almost upright.....and hoping for better tomorrow <3

    Have lovely FRIDAY folks and look forward to a SUPER WEEKEND!
    KEEP VERY SAFE and .......SAVE loads😊
