    That’s a brilliant achievement @october82
    I’m sure we’ve all made unwise spending decisions at some point in our lives. At least you’ve learned and are now putting your money to much better use.

    My own pots (I have 3 of varying sizes) are still filling up very nicely

    Congratulations to you october82!! You've done brilliantly and achieved so very much, you deserve to be so very proud of yourself. 👏👏😊
    You and I both burned so very much over far too many years, but at least we did give it up, for me I was stupid enough to smoke for 35 years! I'm still so very proud of myself and I hope you always will be! 🤩
    Imagine how much you'll have saved come October!!

    I quite agree with you Ant, very wise words indeed. I'm so pleased your pot carries on getting heavier and heavier!!😊

    What a really beautiful day! Our younger granddaughter gave birth late on Tuesday, a darling little girl called Violet. The've called her Violet and she was 7lb 3ozs!! o:)<3

    Congratulations to you and the family Sue, another gorgeous baby girl. Such a beautiful name 💕

    I've just recovered from another head cold.......very grateful to my grandson for sharing 🙄 Really hoping my immunity will improve now we are seeing him regularly.  DH didn't catch it, which really makes me cross 😅 Celebrated another birthday on Tuesday, how do they come around so fast?  Five pounds in the pot again. Enjoy the rest of the week 😊

    Oh, what wonderful news, @Sue-UU !  A beautiful name, too. 

    Payday was earlier this week, which means that I was able to pot around £100!  And today I've had a TopCashback payout of £3.73.  A good amount to keep my pecker up as we head into spring.

    Hello SPCers! I hope you've had a good week, now enjoy the weekend.
    To all those of you who are poorly or low in any way, take very great care and get well soon. Very best wishes from us all here on SPC  <3
    Thank you so very much Siju. I have to admit to not liking the name at first, but as with all names I've grown to loving it now. 

    Oh dear, not another cold you've suffered from! Your grandchildren definitely don't like keeping them to themselves! Let's hope your immunity does improve if you're seeing more of him. Are you still taking your vitamin D? I am, mostly because of the COPD etc. However, the Met Office say at least the next 2 weeks are going to be really lovely!
    Very well done with your £5!

    A Dr we saw in January said she wasn't B12 deficient, but that she was taking 1 X B12 pill every day as a precaution against dementia as it's on the uprise. 
    The conversation came about when T told her that our Dr had stopped him having his B12 injections for Pernicious Anaemia and as yet we've no idea why, yet he was found to have PA just over 28 years ago and told he'd need to take it lifelong! He's unable to absorb B12 naturally in food or via tablets so relies on injections. 
    Our daughter is B12 deficient but thankfully absorbs B12 via tablet form, thank heavens so with her MS! She has done a check on FB and found several people are in the same position as her dad and elder daughter who has 3 children! It's frightening as we all think it's due to price cutting!
    At present T's absolutely shattered and has been for months as he hasn't received any B12 for 7 months, one of the many symptoms!! 😯
    He was meant to go for it 2 different times, but when going on both occasions the Dr said he didn't need it anymore and needed testing to see if he still had PA!! Both our granddaughter and her granddad are both furious as the symptoms of not receiving B12 when you suffer from PA are quite frightening! 
    T's got an appointment to be tested on the 1st April, he angrily asked the receptionist if it was an April fools joke.

    PLEASE TAKE NOTE:  
    I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT THIS JUST IN CASE ANY SPC MEMBERS ARE SUFFERING IN THE SAME WAY BUT AREN'T AWARE OF THE THINGS INVOLVED!!!!

    Fantastic news Vicky, she's adorable!! 😯 Along with spring on arrival those amounts will help a great deal!! 🥰 Many thanks for

    Many thanks Lost, she's just gorgeous. Terrific news for you on your potting amount too!! I think we'll leave baby sitting duties to the younger family members unless they're desperate.

    £20 transferred from our account to the SPC account!!

    Enjoy a WONDERFUL WEEKEND folks especially with the beautiful weather coming!!

    Declaration Day for SPC 0025 is October 23rd.............BEFORE --- BUT NO LATER, please!
