Hubby buys me a scratchcard each week when he does the lottery, I won, not a lot but a win nonetheless. Winnings have gone in to the pot

A very Good Morning all Potters/Saver folk! Enjoy yourselves everyone and here's hoping we can all save well and keep healthy!! Save in a way that's best for YOU! 😄

If any of you are feeling poorly or perhaps low in spirits, please take care, and get well soon and come back with us.  For now, here are love and hugs to help look after yourselves ❤️ 🫂

Hi 32b3, darned chilly down here yesterday too, especially with the wind! 🥶Not so bad today but up walking in the field there was a cold wind!!

I'm well thanks and certainly hope you are too.

Well done on the few pounds potted.

Well done to have started off, little_sweetie, always a good feeling.

Still more potters to declare yet, they'd better hurry up too if they want to keep their names and numbers on the board!!

You be sure to have a lovely weekend too!

Wow what a brilliant day with your £80 gift for the water board, bless em, dizzybee!! The £10 the survey too, all safe in the saving account, excellent work!! 

Hi MrsShazbat, did you want to add the Plum money to the amount you've already declared? I'll gladly add it if you'd like. Well done on sorting the Eb!y & PayPal monies out.

Enjoy your Sunday X

Hi Peony, an excellent start with your£5 potted!! 

Please NEVER WORRY ABOUT HOW LITTLE OR HOW MUCH YOU'RE ABLE TO SAVE!!

The main thing is that you're saving and that's all that counts! If it's pennies or pounds, it'll still benefit you come next October!!

Ah a brilliant find with the £8.64 from an old purse, you've got a great start there!!!! 😯🤭

Fantastic however much you've won, mummytummy!!! When's DH going to win the lottery?!!! BTW, your SPC No is 006 and you're not on 011 as well. An error of mine, many apologies.

Have a LOVELY SUNDAY folks!

Keep safe and do STAY HEALTHY and keep on potting!!

Good luck everyone with your pot savings. Putting in a £1 to start my savings off 😀

Evening, I’ve been busy decluttering/cleaning our sitting room today, and found £6 which was holding up the now unwanted projector.  So £6 now sitting in the savings pot.  I also had £10 savings to put in my online savings pot from my weekly shop (special offers etc.). Most of my savings will be online as I very rarely use cash these days.

Evening! Rather than fashioning a pot out of something, I found my trusty old pot that I used when I did my last successful SPC!

I found £3.75 in small change in there from the last time I attempted it. There were two VERY shiny 1p coins from 2016, which I suspect may have been the year I tried to do SPC and then my husband and I just ended dipping in and it didn't work out. I am keeping it away from my husband before the "But I haven't got any change for the car park!" conversation causes a spiral effect and ruins it again. I'm not having any of that this time, I must be firm!

I've also potted the £9.30 I collected since I signed up to the challenge a few days ago. Very pleased with that!

So that's £13.05 potted today

Hello everyone. So good to see so many savers. 

I cadged a lift the other night when heading to the rugby instead of taking the train, so I’m potting (transferring into my SPC account) £17 of unspent fares. I call that a win! 😊

That is a great win @VickyA_2. This is a great example of where the sealed Pot Challenge is so good. That saving could easily have ‘disappeared’ but potting it means it ends up counting for something. 

We were given 5 pounds off our coffee by post order, so that saving was potted. Over the course of a year these savings here and there can really add up.

Morning Potters, is it me or are the weeks flying by at the moment?  Had a busy weekend, DH was trying to clear out the garage and shed, it's amazing how much stuff we collect isn't it?  It always seems like a good idea to keep it at the time and then before you know it, you are overrun.  I pretty much kept out of the way and let him get on with it.  I finished knitting a little red and white Christmas jacket for the baby (very cute  ) and we were lucky enough to be given a gorgeous cot that we assembled and which is now installed in the spare bedroom.  Just need to buy a mattress and some covers for it now, oh and they need to come and stay!!!  All in good time, I'm sure.  I'm off to stay with them for a couple of days and so looking forward to Nanna cuddles.

Another £7.86 in the pot this week. Enjoy your week Potters, keep safe and warm xx

A very good Monday Potters/Saver folk! I hope you all had a really lovely weekend, and here's hoping you all have a good week and can save as well as possible!! Save in a way that's best for YOU! 😄

If any of you are feeling poorly or perhaps low in spirits, please take care, and get well soon and come back with us.  For now, here are love and hugs to help look after yourselves ❤️ 🫂

Hi welshspendthrift, it's good to see you here, but do take a look back on SPC 14 where I've put a message to you.

A good start. Don't forget the Declaration Day in 2022 27th October! See you soon!

Very well done, Peony!! I'm glad you've taken notice of various ways you're able to save here on SPC and acted accordingly, keep it going as online is fine by me!

I love the way you sound so determined this time round, dinglefoot, you'll be absolutely thrilled with that determination on the 27th for sure!! 😀

If you need cash to use then keep some in a purse/pot each month so you've always got some if necessary. If you don't need it - pot it!! Excellent potting so far!!

I call it a win for sure too, Vicky!! That's the way to save as much as possible! Keep it going!!

That's the way to pot/save, Ant, good for you!! I completely agree with what you've said to Vicky, it makes perfect sense to pot whatever we manage to save in any which way!

It's not just you, Siju, they're flying by for DH & I too, maybe it's Christmas looming, although DH is positive it's since Covid! Our very lovely neighbour is critically ill in intensive care at the moment as he has it even though he's been double jabbed! He's 68, and is little on the larger side mostly due to comfort eating as his younger daughter is very sadly dying from cancer. I do hope he pulls through as she'll be totally lost without her dad. Lately, he's been taking her to Cornwall as often as he can and to places she loves. After begging and pleading, the hospital did allow her to see him last week due to her condition. Very very sad indeed. 

The busier you are the faster it goes too, as your DH will have noticed clearing out the garage, why do we save things that never do come in handy!!

I'm so pleased you had such a lovely cot given to you, very wise to have a cot for when she comes to visit - and VERY good her parents have a spare bed for when you go to visit too!! 😉 Have a wonderful time at the weekend and please give her a cuddle from me. 😊

Ooh I do like the sound of what you're knitting for her, in true Christmas style! ,☃️

Excellent potting and have a very good week abd weekend!! 

Have a very good Monday folks!

Keep safe and do STAY HEALTHY and keep on potting!!

Evening all,

Popping in quickly before I forget details, potted £1.04 in cash that I found while tidying the sitting room.  Also, online potted 65p which was for an online grocery refund received today.

Sue, very sad to hear about your neighbour and his daughter.
