    Chucked another 66p into our tins yesterday. Got a bit of a dilema tho. Little un was playing with my purse n pulled out a £20 note n has stuck it in my tin. Dont want to open it up just to get it out but dont wanna be left short either. I'm hoping to forget about it n get a nice suprise when i open it at the end of the year.
