A cery good Christmas Eve to all!! I hope you're all ready for Christmas, and are all ready for the BIG DAY!

Have a good day today and a wonderful day tomorrow as well as Monday, Boxing Day!

For any one poorly or low in any way, do take very great care and get well soon! From us all, best wished

I quite agree with Ant, Hummingbird, and was so tempted to advise you to pay by DD for gas & electricity, far cheaper. If you can do, please do!

The forecast is for the cold to be back on Monday, so beware!!

Thanks very much indeed, Ant, though £28 is the least the Total has been for many years! We've Totalled at around £49,000 for several years, last year was a lot less, but to me this year was way less but not our faults!! I'm still immensely pleased and proud of what we achieved, but can't see it being any higher for as long as the COL continues! 

Hi MrsShazbat, I'm pleased you've got Christmas all finished with, good for you.

It's good to hear you're still saving well in every way. I'm really pleased the colds have gone. Enjoy your Christmas! 

Wise words to Hummingbird, LMD! 

40p is very good potting so never knock it, it's 40p more than I added! 😂

I'm so pleased the Grand Total has inspired you on for 2023, Keedie, that's all that matters for all our members, and it's definitely the most important thing for me. So many thanks for your very kind words. 

I so agree with your words about that missing person in loved ones not at the table when the table any longer. I find including them when relevant helps so much. Our dear friends have lost their 2 sons during the past 7 years, one 50 to cancer, the other was downs syndrome, was 57,  their only children! They incorporate them so much in normal conversation that it's really quite wonderful especially with things they used to do when they were young. 

Excellent work in potting what you didn't spend!! 

Bad luck Ant!! 

I'm so pleased you had the money potted to help you out, Hummingbird! I quite agree about message boards and the comments made, it's the same with YouTube. 

Ah just got you before I shut up shop so to speak, Vicky! An excellent sum not potted!!

This year's Grand Total was 

£28.353.16!! 

A really good amount considering the year we've had, and the members who have gone, possibly for the same reason. We've still a great deal to be proud of. 😊

Please note: From this year on, the last day to Declare savings by will be the DECLARATION DAY, You can declare before by all means, but no later!

*******************************************

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, folks, 

A SAFE HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

 🎅🎄☃️

Awesome total!  My jar for this year is nearly full already!  We have Pringles for our usual Boxing Day buffet so a new pot will be ready by then!  

Merry Christmas to all

I wish you hadn’t mentioned the Pringles @hickles69
Our Pringles are on top of the kitchen cupboards ‘out of reach’ but I’m the one in the house who can reach them! Must make do with a cup of tea for tonight!!

Well done on your potting so far.
I’ve added four more one pound coins to my pot today as I had change from buying some last Minute Rosemary.
Merry Christmas all Sealed Potters

Evening all.  Just potted a £2 coin, Plum is saving away for me and is now at £130.83 for the new saving year.  I also banked some overtime this month so that also went into the 'pot'.

Xmas shopping is all done and mostly wrapped, we're both recovering from colds - which we could've done without - but we're off to visit DH's family for Boxing Day dinner (which means travelling Christmas Day afternoon).

Hope everyone is/stays well and have a good festive period  

Well as the saying goes, this post didn't age well.  We didn't end up visiting DH's family.... he spent Christmas Day being ferried between our 2 main hospitals and I ended up gatecrashing my family's Christmas at my sister's house.  His recent op wound is now infected and we've got district nurses coming every day to re-dress it until he has an appointment in clinic next Tuesday!  Ironically, perfect Christmas for him not having to go anywhere or do anything - although he did manage to miss out on food at either hospital!!

Sorry to hear how your Christmas plans fell to pieces MrsShazbat, hope DH is recovering well and that the post- OP wound will start to heal properly. Good that you were able to go to your sister's on Christmas Day.

A lesson to us all @MrsShazbat about not taking anything for granted. Hope DH gets properly sorted very soon.

nu1isit?

Hope you're all having a canny Christmas 🎄🙂🎄. A few more two pences for the pot today 😇😜😇. Sorry to hear about your DH MrsShazbat, I hope he starts to get better soon 🤞.

Off to do the jobs now. 🙂

Around £10 potted in the last couple of days
