I'm going to keep going until I fill up a jamjar with any change under £1's
When it's full, I'm going to put it into a new account that will go towards the cost of having little LP's!
I'll update sig but I'm only going to record how many coins I put in, but not the amount!
That way it'll be a surprise at the end!
I will know when I've finished because my rule is, if I can't do up the lid, time to visit the bank!
starting today I am putting in...
17 coins!
LP
