Morning all, I'm rubbish at remembering to log when I have potted, and although it's few and far between, I've managed about £10 over the last couple of weeks. I need to really get on top of using cash more.
But I've been putting 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p in my son's tin and will bank that in the Metro Money Magic machine today. It really does add up, and he'll qualify for the £5 reward soon, for paying in cash every month for the first 5 months of opening the account. So that's something 😊.

Hi all SPCers. I hope you've all had a good
week, fingers crossed for a some beautiful during the next couple of weeks!! Take care everyone as no doubt you'll know where into another wave
of COVID, such a shame when it's supposed to be much better in the
summer months, not so this year!
For all those feeling poorly or low in any way, I hope you'll soon feel so much better. Love and best wishes for now.
You're so right, Hummingbird, we've become an amazing family network and what hurts one hurts us all.
Any time you want to talk, please do, either on the thread or by PM. Take great care.
Oh dear James,
they're not exactly helping you through all this, it must be so very
frustrating, especially as you don't have a clue what your next move
will be. The only thing I can suggest is to get in touch with CAB for
their advice.
Good luck with Arriva, and give your feet a jolly good soak as soon as you get home, certainly worth it.
All the very best James, meanwhile, I'll be thinking of you.
Wasn't it a dreadful day yesterday, Ant ! Yet they forecast showers, if that lot was a shower, I'd hate to think what a downpour could be like!! 😯
Well done with your pot, and be sure your 1st one is safe!
My SPC account might be roughly on target, IF the government does all they say, we'll see!
Don't worry about logging properly, Keedie, a rough estimate is fine I promise you.
Many
of us stopped using cash at the start of Covid because of the handling
of it from person to person. Some of our local shops still won't accept
it, just as well with the current Covid No's and I can't say I blame
them.
Very well done with however much you've potted recently!!
Take great care folks, and beware of being too close to others who may haveCOVID!!! Today's Total of cases is 3,365,483 !!! 😯😯
Enjoy a BRILLIANT WEEKEND Potters!

Heartfelt condolences Hummingbird thinking of you.....
Our computer is broken😪 We've been struggling to update Windows 10 for months and failed. Now we can't use it all and my tablet is a bit duff too. I've been potting bits and pieces of change but can't sell on Ebay with no computer. Methinks this is going to be expensive 🤔 C'est la vie I suppose.
Have a lovely day all. Hope you, T and the family are well Sue x
Happy Monday SPCers. I hope you all enjoyed a lovely weekend. Have a very good week ahead! Take care everyone and stay free from COVID!
For all those who are poorly or low in anyway, take great care of yourselves. For now, love and best wishes from us all.
Great potting Ant, enjoy the week ahead.
Not to worry, LMD, have a good week, but.... keep potting!
Oh dear little_sweetie,
typical of both to be on the way out. If you don't need another PC, why
not stick to an iPad alone? A lot cheaper for sure. C'est la vie indeed
my friend. 😵💫 We're both very well thanks A, I hope you and G are
too. I was concerned about you as the last couple of times you were here
you were poorly, I really do hope all is well. Take care with the
current wave of COVID, please!! xx
Take great care folks, and beware of being too close to others who may haveCOVID!!! 😯
Enjoy a good week ahead Potters!

Potted some more travel savings this week. Feel like my potting is going well at the moment. Keep going everyone. Very penny counts.
