  • Oh, can I join too? I want to save some money up to pay off the CC - the sooner it's paid off the sooner I can spend money (wisely of course) on more exciting things! :-)
    Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.:p

    Hi everyone!
    Me and my hubby already do this, it's great fun. We have big pint of Guiness piggy bank (we once got from someone as a present) and there we put all the change that is in the pockets when I do the washing or on the table etc.. You cannot see in so you have no idea how much is in. Once in a while when we are bored, just watching TV or something we get it out and count it! I then bag it up and put it into the joint account, then the banks don't charge you a fee. We then have little more in for nice bottle of wine or something!

  • Hi,

    My name's Tom, I'm from Birmingham and I haven't posted on these forums before. Just wanted to let you know you inspired me to count all the coins I had in jam jars in my cupboard (which I thought were mostly coppers).

    I now have £93 to carry to the bank :j

    Thanks for the encouragement!
