    Slowly adding various coins to each of the 4 pots most days. The £2 coins are impossible to find but we have been putting in the odd £1 into the whiskey jar whenever possible and by peering through the slit in the top I think there's about £20 in there. 20p's are easy to find and they're going in my "Mum's Saving Tin" for a special treat later in the year! Coppers and other odd coins are going into the glass jar.
    Hoping to retire earlier than 67!

    Hi everyone. As its the last day of the month I emptied my and OH's money boxes. Anyway I had £36.49 of which £16.00 went in Bertie the Bottle & OH had £24.35 of which £15.00 went to Bertie . I have kept out the note & £1 coins incase we need them during the comming month because once Berties got the dosh theres no getting it back. If however they don't get used Bertie will have a feast at the end of Feb.
