            Have just filled my third coke tin, so have started another. Did three the last time so on target to beat that. Still only putting in the loose change, no big coins so the totals won't be great but every little helps.

            Kepp it goining everyone.

            Hi all
            not posted for a while but I have been filling my tin. I did allow the kids to have £1 each in 2p for the arcade on holiday so I'm £3 down but they can play the machines for about an hour or more with that so it's worth it:D

            Found £1 coin on bedroom floor today so it's in the tin. yesterday I found 40 odd pence doing the washing and I cleared my purse 48p.

            Hope you are all well and have bulging tins.

                    Well i have to say I only joined this challenge a couple of weeks ago and I am completely hooked!! :D
                    Usually the odd pennies would probably end up going up the hoover (when the kids do the hoovering anyway) but now it's just amazin how much change I am collecting and putting in my lovely little tin. Its also helping the kids to put any spare pennies in too so I have made them one just for coppers and mine just for silver (and the odd pound when i am on payday!!)
                    This is a brill idea. Can't wait to see the results in December.:T
