The "Loose Change Pays Your Debt 2009" Challenge

piranhalikethat

Could I have a member number please? I've saved my change for years and have always used it to buy something I didn't really need, my baby savings would have been massive savings by now!

I have a Ghost perfume box for my coppers, a Bombay Sapphire bottle for my 5ps and a Badger Balm tin for 10s, 20s and 50s.

If I'm feeling naughty at work I'll put a pound in the chocolate machine then put the change in my pots, it adds up so quick!

So far this year I've put £33 in our online savings account to go towards our wedding

I'm not doing very well with this so far! I've had loads of NSDs and then didn't have any cash - asked hubby to get me out £10 last time he went out and he has it but hasn't given it to me yet! I went for a stroll round Tesco car park but didn't find a penny! I think all the men who clean cars there must nab all the roadkill!
Well done Piranha sounds like you are a good saver! When are you getting married?

Thanks Rose, like I say I've been saving change for ages but am only now putting it to good use and seeing how much it adds up to.

Hopefully getting married back end of 2010, it'll just be a small do so hopefully won't cost too much, we've decided not to have the sit down meal, just a late afternoon ceremony and a buffet

Hey guys, we have 2 pint glass that is full of change...does anyone know where one of those machines are, that you tip it into, and it counts it for you, that is near Brighton? I know, I'm being lazy but I hear about them but have never seen one.

Can I join too please? I found one of those money counting money boxes at my back door that someone anonymously donated to me a few months ago!! I put big change in that and have a JD tin with 1s 2s & 5s in it which I haven't added to my total yet but will start counting now. I luckily paid my debt off last year thanks to MSE so now I am saving for a well-earned holiday.
