Hey peeps, congratulations to everyone on their pots. It's been an up and down money year for me (education, wedding, moving out etc etc.) so I'm leaving with a small amount of £25.03 which I'm very happy with. I'm not likely to sign back on here for a bit due to wedding on Saturday but thank you all for being a positive light on the internet, this has been lovely.

Morning, I'm checking in to declare £8038.51 as my total this year.
I have been lucky enough to be able to save this and it's far more than I had anticipated. As you probably know from my previous pots, this funds my travels and Christmas, plus a treat for me at our black Friday get away. It will all start again tomorrow for me and I will be including my dice and envelope challenges again. Saving definitely feels better than spending.
Thank you so much @Sue-UU for running this again, keeping us motivated and caring about us. We really do appreciate it
Well done everyone!

#20 Getting in early (for me!) and declaring £1752.64 from a combination of Plum virtual savings, Quidco and Top Cashback which I remembered to cash out this time, actual pot of loose change from my purse clearouts (£75.79), a People's Postcode Lottery win and eBay payout that was just sitting there so they sent it on, as they do.
I believe Metro Bank allow you to use their coin counters even if you're not a customer so will be trying that in the next couple of weeks when I'm at the office and my £1.10 in 5ps is going in a little RNLI pot that I was given last time I was in one of their shops, for next time I'm at the seaside (and I remember, of course!).
Signature updated and ready to go again - can't believe I've been doing this for 16 years! Overall very pleased and well done everyone!
Thank you as always @Sue-UU for running it and keeping us in line

I'm sorry Sue, I'm going to be late, I literally landed from Florida at 6:48am this morning and my pots are still at my dad's house (placed there for safe keeping). I am just too tired to drive over and get them, but will go tomorrow and declare afterwards.SPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £2470.95/£1000 (19) £0/£10002
