Just an update - not doing so bad at all

So far only one this week. ONE!!! Ha! Pathetic!

Even attempted to cheat by buying a newspaper with a crisp new tenner yesterday in the hope of some interesting change. I got interesting change all right - NINE £1 coins! Ooooh, I gave the cashier SUCH a look! :mad:

Maybe I'll have better luck in Asda tomorrow?

In a pickle now - I knew I would be! I've taken £20 in £2 coins in the last couple of days into my work cash tin. I've been umming and ahhing about swopping them out, and have decided to do it. I can swop £20 across from my personal account to the business one, but I just sat there last night with a pile of £2 coins going "I can't pay them in to the bank, I just can't" So bad, I was there for ages debating it!

I know exactly what you mean...hee hee ... :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hubby has just counted our babies and we now have the proud total of £136. and we are going to fill the ginger jar so we know how much it holds. It's 8 inches high by 8 wide we cann't find a tape measure for the circumference but when we do I will let you all know. This is so exciting

Hi, think this is a fab idea. I've been putting mine in my pigsback piggy bank. I have 3! Thats £6 towards a much needed break in the summer

I've got a confession to make :$

When I was collecting my coins in the Lidl olive jar, it was too easy to "borrow" one for something silly and last night I got so guilty at myself (I'm saving for my little monsters and I felt like I'd let them down) that I slightly went off on one and did something about it.

I ditched the olive jar and opened a new Dove soap from the box. I taped the box back up, made a slot for the coin then spent 2 hours in photoshop measuring the soap box and making a pattern to print out and glue around it. On each side of the pattern is a picture of one of my cats looking lovely so I think now that if I ever got the urge to "borrow" a coin I'd have to confront the images of them staring at me looking helpless.

I still feel really crappy with myself for what I did in the first place Hopefully now my savings should creep up a bit quicker :-\ Please don't judge me, I just needed to get that off my chest :$

Hi Amosworks,

Do not beat yourself up, we have all done that at some point. And if those savings helped you out when you needed them than its a good job that you had them there eh?

I view mine as a sort of petty cash and although I am saving it for Christmas I know its there if I need it.

Good for you for getting right back on it today.
