Hi please can I join? my target is £500 and I am starting on 1 Jan.
I won't be able to put in 1p's, 2p's or 5p's though as I already save these in an old MASSIVE whisky jar for charity! It's amazing how they mount up. I usually take then along to cancer research or macmillan nurses etc each Christmas. My aunt used to do this (it is her jar I use) but she sadly passed away a 2.5 years ago, so I have carried it on for her. Even my 6 year old puts his change in!
Good luck everyone.:rotfl:(vegetarian & vegan family: me, DH, DS11 & DS 7, 3 dogs and 3 cats (not veggie )

Hello again
Just got back into a nice warm house after walking the dog, only 2p in road change, and I've just counted my road change jar just over £41 in there, this will pay a bill on 1st of April 2009, so effectively other people are paying something towards my debt, hoping to have £50'ish in there by my target date. My sealed pot is getting heavy, and to everyone who's using a chocolate tin to save you'll have the added benefit of chocolate smelling coins when counting your change. Mmmm Chocolate (in Homer Simpson mode) lolSparky0107 - Sealed pot challenge member #002. Total for SPC3 £1,030.57 Total For SPC 4 £2247.00 Total for SPC 5 £2574.62 :T Total for SPC 6 £4552.91:T
