    Evening all, 

    Welcome scandimore.  

    I potted 20p today which I found on top of the freezer.

    Afternoon all,

    Found another 20p today for the pot.  How is everyone else doing?  I don’t think there is any more change in the house, except DH’s.  He collects in his own tin.

    Hi peony40! 

    My potting is all virtual at the moment. I have a spreadsheet for my savings account and everything is allocated a section on there, including SPC15. I’ve had the same spreadsheet for 10+ years, so it’s a habit I’ve got used to. So, I might be “skint” yet still have £500 in my car fund, £234 in the holiday fund etc. My SPC money has its own section too and I simply don’t touch it for the duration of the challenge, other than to add £££. 

    Also, at the end of each week I round my bank account to the nearest £5. So, if I had £347.56 in my current account, £2.56 would be siphoned off into the SPC section of the savings account. Clear as mud?! 🤣
