I am delighted to declare £802.84 which is way above my expectations. £58.34 of that was in my Children’s Society collection box that was counted today, also way above what I expected. Great work everyone who has declared so far. Now I know you said this thread was for declarations only now Sue, and quite rightly so… However I hope you don’t mind me reiterating what you said to @Bounty123 in that just because people are doing so much more by card now, it’s still all good being part of the challenge. My balance between cash and electronic saving switched a lot during this challenge compared to other years. I still managed a lot of cash though, but these are much different days we live in. There is no one right way to pot for everyone. Anyway Sue, I hope you don’t mind me mentioning this as I was also declaring at the same time. Thanks again Sue for al” the hard work you put into this challenge. Nice mix of glorious sunshine and heavy downpours here today. Hope everyone has a good day and manages to avoid the downpours

Happy to pop in and declare a total of £473.19 which includes what I have already declared. Happy to see I have a number for the #15. Thank you so much for running the thread Sue , Ive managed to save more than I ever thought possible.
Hi SPC 61 declaring £4.47 on 28 October 2021, as I had to use some of my Sealed pot savings earlier this year for an unexpected bill. I'm happy I managed to save anything and to be the lowest declaration for this year.

Oh Ant, my word haven't you done amazingly, and
well over your Target that I was looking at this morning when putting
others on!! 😯 Many congratulations to you, your DW and DD and now you
can all look forward now to the break you planned for!!!! 🤗
I'll bet your chuffed to bits!! I'm so pleased we let everyone save as they wished 😊
Of course I don't mind you mentioning relevent things Ant, please carry on.
I
don't mind anyone writing a lengthy post at all, it's only when others
come on congratulating every one who posts that it becomes a problem,
they're welcome to do that as much as they like on SPC 15, thanks for
understanding Ant.
A very kind gift indeed for the Children's Society!
I
don't know about you, but we had a really heavy storm about 1/2 hr ago,
by golly didn't it chuck it down!! 😰 Hubby & I have been out since
and thankfully it was ok. A beautiful morning though, I even got our
bedding washed and dried! See you on 15.
Brilliant saving Doily94!! 😯 Many congratulations to you on such great work!!!! 🤗
I'm
not sure if you've read my 1st post on either SPC 14 or 15, but since
the beginning of SPC 14 we can save as we wish, be it cash, cards or
through the bank. Given the circumstances we unfortunately live in we
found we had to do something as cash isn't always easy to come by, so
save in the best way for you.
I'm so thrilled you're so very happy with all you've saved, it makes my day, yours too no doubt!! 😊
As you'd already needed some of your money for a bill, Money_Choices,
if you can remember the sum then please add it to what you've declared.
Just click on the settings symbol at the top right corner of your post
and alter your Total. Also remember that we're now able to save either
by cash, card or bank now things have changed so much in the world! 🙄
Have
a quick scan over my 1st post, you'll see there also other ways to
save, Eb!y sales, cashback and many more. Remember too that however much
you've saved, it's still cash NOT SPENT so be proud however low you may
think it is!! Some folk won't have saved a penny, think on MC and be
happy! ,😃 Congratulations to you however much you end up with, even it
does turn out to be £4.47!!!! 🤗
You did yourself proud IntoTheForest!! Many congratulations on a really great amount!!! 🤗
Do
come to the thread more often as it's amazing how much doing so
motivates us all. Also, make sure you've read my first post to see the
various other ways you can save, as well as being able to do so through
the bank!!
I'm so pleased you were able to save such a sum, it'll come in very handy! 😃

Excellent potting TMD, especially under your
circumstances this year!!!! 🤗 I honestly didn't think you'd have been
able to save, but I'm delighted you have!! 🤩 Very well done!
