A few more pounds potted fro. Shopping savings and travel savings. Little and often with the potting should need to a nice break at some point, possibly in that other kind of world we used to know.
Nearly the weekend. Have a good one everyone27/5/17 Mort 64705 BTs 1904031/12/17 Mort 59815 BT 1673007/04/20 Mort 49208 BT 1572128/07/20 Mort 47387 BT 1263414/11/20 Mort 45905 BT 10134 20/05/21 Mort 42335 BT 686811/08/22 Mort 32050 BT 2915Sealed Pot Challenge 16 Number 54 -
No potting, just saying hello. I finished work for a whole week today. Is it wrong of me that my son doesn’t know I’m on holiday from work next week? Nah, he’d only come up with excuses to spoil it 🤣. I am very obviously over ambitious as to how much I will get done in one week but never mind 🥳SPC #023 SPC 12: £125.86[/COLOUR]:SPC 13: £214.98: SPC 14: £297.41 SPC 15: £237.27 SPC 16 £335.39; SPC 17 £662.09 SPC 18 £660.03[ SPC 19 ?COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]MFW #21 Mortgage start Dec 2015 £79,950; Oct 2025 £17,729[/COLOR] 2025 OP £2156.36/COLOR]/£2,000 MFiT T6 #3 £19070/£25,500 (72.82%%) MFiT T7 #3 £4181/£21,930 (19.06%)4

Ooh Hetty, I had a week off work recently and it did me the world of gods. I hope it does similar for you. I was able to do a bit of horse poo picking to help my sister out and do a tiny bit of garden tidying - Not much else, but it was nice to break the cycle of working from home for a week. I hope you have a great week off and all I would say is maybe don’t set your ambitions too high for what you want to get done!Hettyhound said:No potting, just saying hello.

A very happy Saturday all SPCers! 😊 Have a brilliant WEEKEND hope you all enjoyed the really lovely weekend, a smashing few days!For all those who are either ill or low in any way, take great care and I sincerely hope you're all very well and that you will soon be back with us.
I really hope everyone's taking great care. Keep safe and healthy folks!! 
For now, take care. 
Hi Hicksy! It's so good to hear from you, to know you're still potting when possible too.Oh yes, how quickly time flies!We're all fairly well thank you, you too I hope.Look after yourselves and your 2 little treasures.Well done Ant, keep on potting and you'll hopefully have a lovely sum in October. As you say, it'll be really good for you all to have the break you deserve. 🥰Well done with spotting the penny, and yes they're so very rare these days. I've upped you by a penny though as Hubby & I found 2p in the mud when we were out for a walk on Thursday!!
You have a good weekend too.I can't blame you for wanting to have the majority of the week to yourself, Hetty. It's not easy with a youngster home for so long. Enjoy your week doing all you need to do and don't feel guilty, so long as you're there when he comes home is all that matters.Have a great weekend, a super week ahead too! 😘I enjoyed a really lovely Birthday yesterday with treats to the hilt, Facetime videos from all the family and a good, though darned cold walk with Hubby. Later he cooked us a delicious roast Chicken with all the trimmings followed by a Raspberry Roulade!! 😍 My Hubby is a wonderful cook due to me having epilepsy and the terrible accidents sustained from it in our early days.2p found by Hubby & I on Thursday, it was in the mud but was very welcome in the pot after a good wash!Sue xxHave the rest of a LOVELY SATURDAY folks SUNDAY too! Stay safe and healthy!
NB folks: Opening date for SPC 14 is 28th October 2021.Anyone wishing to join us, it's NEVER too late!😊 So please just ask and you will be made very welcome.

Happy belated birthday wishes Sue. Glad you were able to enjoy your day.Haven’t been on for a while as life just seems to be getting in the way at the moment and dont have a minute to
myself.However I have potted about £20 since my last post so still plodding on.Every time I pop on here I have a moment of ‘I need to get on top of my spending and debts’ but I seem to have lost all ability in this area since having kids.We don’t want for anything but I still can’t stop spending. I need to take an evening and have a complete overhaul.Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend. xSPC 18 Target £200 /4 -
Belated Happy Birthday Sue! Glad you had a lovely day and how marvelous to have hubby cook a delicious meal for you. I can't remember the last time G made a meal for me, not even a sandwich.... you lucky girl

Belated birthday wishes Sue, I'm glad you had a lovely day.
Not much is happening here at the moment. I'm not going out so no pennies to spot and no cash is being spent either. Hopefully all will be well again soon xNot Rachmaninov

Belated birthday wishes Sue.
As others have said, not really any potting going on at the moment other than what Plum is saving for me. Had to have car repaired last week so that was £220 that I wasn't expecting. And now I've discovered that M&S will be closing my bank account later this year, so I need to work on paying off my overdraft so I can switch accounts. It's not too bad, and I usually catch up in March but the car put paid to that! Needs must though.
