When you say about the Grand Totals amounting to over half a million it really makes you think just how we're helping folk, me too!! 😳 I had over a £800 this time round which is better than I'd thought!! 😜 Well done for forgoing that coffee and saving your cash!!!! 🤗 All the best Ant!

    All best wishes for a super pot this year Buffy!!!! You can also save via your bank if it's any help, see the top of the 1st post. Good luck this time round!!

    Oh Babs, that really is rotten! >:) Normally, I said no to this with someone before, but I'm sure we've lost members due to the "new and improved" format. This time I'm saying yes - providing we keep the Hanert name in brackets or I'll forget. However, you'll always be Babs to us on SPC Babs!!! 🤗 🤩 PS. I've sent you a PM, look for an envelope with a red mark by you profile.

    Have a Buzzing Friday folks! p Whatever you've saved be so very proud of, I am for us ALL!!! D

    The post from Cariad21 (a very warm welcome to you by the way) has reminded me that a target might be useful. Please me down for a target of £600 please Sue I did just over 300 hundred in around half a year this time so it looks achievable-ish for me.
    Of course Covid did give me the added benefit of not having to pack on to a sardine train and commute every day, allowing me to save for this and pay other debts down significantly.
    Anyway, it’s the weekend nearly. Hoping to see lots of members join/rejoining over the next few days  :)
