    Evening :hello:
    I'm still putting money into my sealed tin, it's almost full :D
    I've started throwing copper & 5ps (from work) into last years sealed tin, which got its lid removed at opening time and using the new sealed one for bigger & better stuff. (are you all with me so far)
    Now, do I open said sealed tin when full and pay it off my CC and start a new tin :confused:

    Lovely to see you mcjordi and remember to try dropping your change in, you might even pass your target!!!

    Aha whatatwit, not often I say this, but if it'll help your finances now then use it to pay it off by all means. Balance out in your mind when you'll need the money mostly, to clear that debt, or part of it, or do you need it more at Christmas? Up to you entirely as I've said on the 1st & 2nd post of the beginning of this thread, I don't want to see anyone go into debt or similar when they have money in the pot. If you decide to pay it off, do so with no regrets and start saving again asap!:)

    Wash you mouth out Our Elsie with such thoughts that everyone might be busy counting their pennies! Course they're not......?!!!:p REB where the heck are you??! Put that pot down!!:mad:

    See, now she's even got you pondering MSFC!!! Naughty Elsie!:confused:

    Me too LC, I even have pineapples, mangos and bananas hanging all around mine and a great big coconut hat! If they have to hang around much longer they'll be going off!!!:( Surely he's too quiet for too long though, I reckon sparky knows summat but is keeping mum! Typical lads sticking together!

    2 x £2 coins in the pot for me!! :j

    Have a good day all.

    I'm innocent guvn'r, I haven't heard from the big fella either & I've tried to PM him ;), you know what they say, no news is good news :D. Checked online banking this morning & found a refund from eon, so I've paid £50 off the credit card bill :T, it was a bonus I didn't know I was getting, so it won't be missed (and neither will the CC when it's paid off :D)

    Have a great Thursday everyone, keep saving & stay safe ;)
