    Happy Christmas everyone!

    Payday has happened AND some cashback has become payable, so I've managed to pot about £114 (and a little bit), which I'm delighted about.  Of course, Christmas this year has been paid for by the last challenge, which is always a wonderful feeling!

    May you all have a restful time this week.

    You need to click on your profile picture @Sue-UU and select Account and Privacy settings next to your picture, then scroll down to signature settings. This has changed so many times over the last few years 🙈 Hope it helps 😊
    Ah bless you Siju! I've tried so many times and was beginning to think it was me, but knew that couldn't be the case! 🙄 I wasn't able to put SPC 17 on last year either, but thought it would right itself.
    So very many thanks indeed, you're an angel, well almost. 😂
    Oh my giddy aunt Gert!! I managed it fine, but what a mess it looks once I was in with the siggy!  :o It's been so long since I've not been able to get in there that it really shocked me

    Have a good Monday SPCers. When not many sleeps to go now before the BIG DAY! 
    To all those who are ill in any way, or low in spirits at all. Take great care and love from us all
    here at SPC  3

    An excellent amount, Lost especially given this time of year!
    A very Merry Christmas to you and your DH! I hope he's feeling a lot better now. 

    Great sales madlyn and consequently, your pots so proud of you, especially when you have coins to add!
    A very safe, healthy and Merry Christmas to you too!🌲🦌☃️


    An excellent amount potted Vicky!! Little wonder you're so delighted!! Isn't it wonderful that Christmas is paid for for most potters, such a relief.  A very Merry Christmas to you and your DH, here's hoping yours is restful too! 

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

    SPCs GRAND TOTAL FOR SPC 18 is 
       
    an excellent sum of £39,45.16!!! 👏👏👏  

    I was quite thrilled to be honest as, yet again, we've lost members, a real shame, so please folks stay with us as however much you're able to pot, it's far better to save than possibly waste, especially as this cost of living crisis goes on and on!! BE SO VERY PROUD OF EVERY PENNY SAVED!!

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

    ❄️🔔 A VERY SAFE, HEALTHY AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL 
    HAVE REALLY WONDERFUL TIME!!! 🎅🦌

    A fantastic total @Sue-UU, what a great bunch of savers we are 👏 Definitely don't think of myself as an angel though 🤣 but glad I was able to help. Perhaps I'm more of a Santa's little helper 😉 
    Potted another £5 this week. Seasons greetings from me to you all, hoping you have a healthy and peaceful Christmas 🎄🎅🎁

    Morning all  <3 I just stumbled on this thread and would love to join in, please  :) My pot is sealed and awaiting  a load of spare uncounted change to go in it  :D I'll set an optimistic target of £400 but won't stress if I put away and/or save less  ;)  Any member number will do but I see that 014 is free?

    Thank you all for your very warm welcome & I really look forward to the Sealed Pot Challenge which has now been added to my collection of 2026 Challenges. 
    I've now started loaded my sealed pot with all the spare change I had ready and waiting along with a couple of £20 notes I found in jacket pockets this morning - I didn't know they were there, so won't miss them!  ;):D
    It's always nicer and sometimes easier to save when others are saving too - A little like the opposite to Weight Watchers as we intend to add the pounds, not take them off  :D
