    My sealed tin is sounding very healthy :D

    Not entirely sure I understand the mentality of those of you who know how much is in your jars - it's not nearly as much fun as the wonder of a mystery amount :p
  • a few more pennies in the jar today - nothing exciting really but i just love putting coins in even if its just 1p :)
  • Yay - got a £2 coin in my change today! It's gone in the pot!
  • Have decided that along with my £2 coins, all the money I save either from offers or coupons will also go in my pot. Although I haven't got a tin yet, but I heavily hinted to MIL that i wanted one for Christmas.

    I saved £11.66 in Mr T's today with offers and a few coupons. So with my £2s I have £24.66 to go into my tin! :D

    So far so good!!!
