Happy birthday for last Friday @MrsShazbat 🍾🥂 I hate going to garages and usually leave it to DH as he's very knowledgeable about cars and they don't talk down to him, as they often do to me. If you find a good garage, hang on to it!
Small amount of change potted. Enjoy the weekend 😊SPC 16 - #09 Totals: 2014 - £264.51 2015 - £207.50 2016 - £396.79 2017 - £369.49 2018 - £484.24 2019 - £309.90 2020 -£282.06 2021- £1839.89 2022 -£1627.833 -

I'm a petrolhead so pretty good with cars and having had the same make/model for over 10 years, know how they behave. Reviews are also good and it's a family business so I'm pretty confident they'll be fine, but yes fingers crossed anyway!SPCNo.18 #20 (17 £562.86 16 £678; 15 £1120.92; 14 £416.53; 13 £191.52; 12 £260.48; 11 £480.95; 10 £682.31; 9 £442.64)

Ah so you’re an Owl then @MrsShazbat
Have enjoyed both my long trips up to Hillsborough. Although my team lost both times the chip shop on Leppings Lane is superb (I think I had some kind of potato cake which was blooming lovely) and the locals in the pub were very friendly
Added some more change to the increasingly heavy pot today27/5/17 Mort 64705 BTs 1904031/12/17 Mort 59815 BT 1673007/04/20 Mort 49208 BT 1572128/07/20 Mort 47387 BT 1263414/11/20 Mort 45905 BT 10134 20/05/21 Mort 42335 BT 686811/08/22 Mort 32050 BT 2915Sealed Pot Challenge 16 Number 54 -

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 SPCI'm not at all sure what the difference is from what you've written above MrsShazbat and why Ant has referred to you as being an Owl?! 🤔 🫤One thing I am sure about though is sticking with the ones who have treated you well. My hubby's the same and sticks with the garage he knows to be the best, has done for many years.Well done with your pot Ant, the heavier the better so keep on filling it! 😀Flipping heck LMD, I've got to say that you do brilliantly with your dicing! So, is it more skill than luck or a bit of both or...?! 🤔 Fantastic work either way. 😀👏Have a great day folks, a great Friday too, and take care!Declaration Day for SPC 0025 is October 23rd.............BEFORE --- BUT NO LATER, please!If anyone would like to join the thread, please just ask at anytime and you will be made very welcome!Sealed Pot Challenge 001 My Totals = 08 = £163.95 09 = £315.78 10 = £518.80 11 = £481.87 12 = £694.53 13 = £1200.20! 14 = £881 15 = £839.21 16 = £870.48 17 = £871.52 18 = £800.00 19 = £851.022021=£820.26[/SizeGrand Totals of all members (2008 uncounted) 2009 = £32.154.32! 2010 = £37.581.47! 2011 = £42.474.34! 2012 = £49.759.46! 2013 = £50.642.78! 2014 = £61.367.88!! 2015 = £52.852.06! 2016 = £52, 002.40!! 2017 = £50,456.23!! 2018 = £47, 815.88! 2019 = £38.538.37!!!! :j1

Sorry @Sue-UU for the seemingly strange words. Mrs Shabbat’s favourite football team play in a district called Owlerton so they are known as the Owls
Anyway, I am going steadily onwards with my potting and looking forward to a good total in October, albeit nowhere near the small fortune that LMD is managing to build up.

Ooh I'd like a magic money washing machine 🤣We had a peahen roosting in our garden for 28 days and 4 out of her 5 eggs have hatched. Mum and babies have been safely relocated back with our neighbour. Peacocks are lovely to look at but they can be destructive in the garden. There are 5 naughty ones that keep wandering in and eating my begonias 🙄
Five pounds and a bit of change in the pot this week 😊SPC 16 - #09 Totals: 2014 - £264.51 2015 - £207.50 2016 - £396.79 2017 - £369.49 2018 - £484.24 2019 - £309.90 2020 -£282.06 2021- £1839.89 2022 -£1627.832 -

Very best wishes from us all here on SPCAh I see, thanks a lot for that Ant, it's always nice to know what these things stand for.Don't worry, I can't see any of us getting anywhere near what LMD is bound to achieve somehow. Still, good luck to her. Keep racing on though Ant, as you never know!Ahh a magic money producing washing machine eh? We haven't got one of those, brilliant with the 50p Ant, though what's the betting it was yours in the first place!! 😀You and me both Siju! 😉What a tale about your neighbour's peahen producing 4 out of 5 little'ns in your garden! 😯 Beautiful birds, though the noise from a nearby peacock would drive me cuckoo, especially if it was next door! 😳Is there no way you can protect the begonias?Very well done with your potting money!£20 transferred from our account to the SPC one.Enjoy a wonderful weekend folks!
