    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:

    I went to the canteen at lunch to buy a coke but they didnt have any. I saw this as a sign and so have put the 50p I would have spent there into my sealed pot! Yay! :)

    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) lol

    Hi mommyof4,

    This month is slow, but still the occasional coin going in the tin. Keep it up everyone.
