    I'd love to join please! I did SPC a few years ago and I would love to save again for Christmas. I have a ton of coins in an old piggy bank that I would like to bag up and start afresh.

    Got the hubby to sort out all the change he had in his van and it totalled £13.40 - all added to the pot.

    I'm not going to be spending much this coming week so hoping to get a few cash sales via FB marketplace to help.

    Hi Sue-UU

    Sorry I've been missing for a while but I've had several health problems and I lost track of my finances 

    I am starting again as it is now the new year and hopefully will keep things up and keep posting updates

    Thank you AutoMac

    Unfortunately I am still not ok. Had my third blood clot last year in February, along with other health issues and my leg is causing a lot of problems. Currently in hospital since New Year's Day.

    A very happy Tuesday Potters, what bitter weather!! Please STAY WARM folks!

    Very well done in potting ThriftyPrincess40!! 
    Of course you pot the change in the bank in the bank, just be sure to put the amount on your siggy so you don't forget to declare it with whatever else you save by October!

    Very well done with your hubby with the cash he found in his van Tattypud!! Good luck with your sales on FB!!

    Hello Frogletina, so sorry to hear about your health problems, but I really hope you soon get better soon. Little wonder you lost track of your potting. 
    It would be good to hear from you more often. (BTW) I haven't forgotten you and will be in touch soon. 
    Oh my word you have had problems, take great care and I sincerely hope you get well very soon!

    You're so very right Ant, nothing at all is more important than your health. I hope you've recovered from your fall last week? If not do recover soon. 
    Very well done with filling your pot!!

    ❄️🔔 A VERY SAFE, HEALTHY AND happy NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL 🎅🦌

    Thank you for the welcome - I popped into the charity shop this morning and found a Dusty Bin savings pot. I always wanted one of this when I was little which probably gives a hint to my age  :D I've just glued the rubber bung in place as the slot is wide enough to get money out later in the challenge. 
    56p added to the pot today.
    Could I possibly be number 14 on the list if no one else has taken it?
    Tattypud So did I, but never managed to find one -  3-2-1 :D
    Not much change being slung in the savings pot at the moment because I've not been out to spend or find any roadkill - Far too cold and certainly for babyface even with a padded Harris Tweed coat, woolly hat, and boots on - Yes, babyface is a miniature Daxie who absolutely hates the cold  :D Besides, the likelyhood of finding any roadkill is very slim and if I did, I'd need an ice pick to get it  :D
