Good morning all:)I am also going to put euros into my sealed pot as i was on holidays last year and brought around 50 euro home with me:).....I also go to Dublin quite a few times during the year and having to pay at a toll bridge (i always forget to bring change with me) I always end up with a pocketful of euros in change......so im thinking i will just put all the euros into a sealed jar and they will do me for holiday spending money!!! (whenever im rich enough to afford one:))

Afternoon all,

Just changed the kids loose change in their pots for notes and rounded it up to £5 each and have put £2.48 in the demi-john.

Looks quite likely I'll be baby-sitting so that my DD can go out. But that depends on her asking again between now and then, as I've babysat last night and the previous Friday -- and enough is enough sometimes, especially at this time of year

I've only ever been out three times. End of 1982 I went to a 'friends and family' party with my (then) BF at the home of one of his parents' friends. End of 1987 I went to a nightclub. End of 1994 (or 95?) I went to the local social club -- my parents went down with my DH for the first part of the evening, then around 11pm my Dad came and babysat so I could joing my Mum and DH for the end of the evening.

Afternoon all. Well the bird flu appears to be releasing its grip on me (thank god). Hope all are well. Mrs S has been looking after me well. lol.

Re: The £5 issue. As a copper can I point out thats theft? As a human being I agree with Glendam, it's not in the spirit of DFW. Roadkill/change is one thing. Knowing that the woman left it is another.

SParky - yay! Well done on the PC sorting itself out!

Yes, most of us have. Why?

Because it is good advice.

And it's relevant to this thread how? We've had this conversation before with other posters on last years thread (which Martin himself gave the thumbs up to). This thread is about saving up pennies, getting a little sum of money and then using it for something (many of us will use it to pay off a debt. My sealed pot went into an ISA when it was full). It's a little bit of fun.

and it's precisely why I've never saved anything 'larger' than a 5p coin. If I were to start saving all the £2 coins I get in change, they'd I'd be nastily aware of the interest I could be earning by spending them and leaving money in the bank -- especially if I could then use the money in the bank to pay off debts.

but we all have to have some 'fun', which is how I see this challenge (especially the counting up and spending at the end of it) -- so if those who save the larger coins are happy to do so, then it's totally up to them.
