I've been on MSE for years but don't often comment on threads, I just read, so now I've decided to take the bull by the horns and really get on it this year, then couldn't remember username or password and just started a new account so I'm a newbie to the SPC but not to MSE :-)

so please can I join you and share my saving experience with you all x

Can I join please? Really trying to make more of an effort than ever this year with things.
Can I just ask? Do people keep a running total so they know how much they have in their pots, or is it just chuck it in and wait till you open it. Mine will just be copper and 5ps that I have in my purse each day.

You're most welcome to join us, dawnyblue SPC 109 and ploppy57 SPC 110. A very warm welcome to you. :grinheart Have fun saving and enjoying the chat on the thread, it motivates us all. You'll find your number on the the 2nd post of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. PS. We empty our pots and declare our savings in October, please make a note of this year's date: 31st Oct 2019.

Please also subscribe to the thread by clicking on "Thread Tools" (lower green bar) and clicking "Subscribe to this thread"...or you may lose us! To put your SPC No on, go to "Quick Links" (right side of top green bar), click and then click on "Edit Signature" and you're away.

*Please pop your number on your sig, it really helps me.

Hello all Potters, I hope you've all had a good Thursday, no doubt preparing for the weekend too! :j
To all those who are not well or who are low in spirits, take great care of yourselves. Get well soon and {{{{hugs}}}} from all the SPC family. :grinheart


A shiny gold star for you both, Frogletina :staradmin and swimminginaseaofdebt, :staradmin thank you so much for helping me out.


A great start made, hummingbird! It's good to have you back with us.

I quite agree, mummytummy, though no doubt a lot of us will still have challenges through the year or it wouldn't really be 'life'. Still, we can but hope. That's a good plan you've made in order to get a lovely sum by October! Well done on the 30p roadkill!! :dance:

I am here :j:j:j.
Happy New Year everyone.And many happy potting returns .
So far I have potted 12 x £2 coins (there is another one rolling around in the car to add to it),and 6 x 50p coins.
Really must ramp up my game if I am going to exceed my last year's total .

So there you are, Saver-upp! :hello: A happy new year to you too! Very well done with some fine potting already achieved!! Please note that you now have a new SPC No 108. I've had to rearrange the entire lists as a lot of members haven't returned over the last 2 years. Please swap your Nos over. Thanks so much.


Another one with a good plan of saving a little each day, Purplemumof2, all the best for you!

It's lovely to have you, Peony. Whatever you manage to save throughout the year will be a bonus, a blessing too! Do your best, that's what we all aspire to!

A lovely amount, Vicky!! :j Where's the cash courtesy of your hubby these days! I know he loves to think of it as being safe in your pot.. I think!!


Oooh how good you're getting, weenapoops, excellent work!! :dance:

Well done, Whatshername!! I see you've been giving saving a lot of thought, coming up with great ideas too!! :j

Ah... you've made me go all coy now, Choccygirl.
I quite agree with the reasons why you love SPC so much, though why not encourage each other whatever the amounts we save. It does us all good to know that no matter how much we save it really does help us all. Motivation is key to helping us all!! :dance:

<<<<<<creeps back in Hi Sue Hi everyone
Im sorry i have not been in for so long but i am still saving in my bottle just trying to get hubby on board. i do save all change and £2 coins aswell. i have one of those big whiskey bottles and its a quarter full been a long 2 years. i dont want to open it till its full. is that allowed Sue and sorry cant remember my number xx

It's wonderful to see you back with us, gettingbetter, though you have a new SPC No 111, an easy one to remember for sure! You open your bottle whenever you want, it's perfectly ok.


Don't worry, NannyG, even I can only save ONE day a week, so don't feel sad about it, just be pleased you're not spending cash!

Fantastic work, Robin!! :j You really are so consistent!!
