  • Just had a quick count and am up to £9.00 today and my tube is nearly full!!!
    My mantra is "Never pay full price!" ;)

    OOOOOOOOOOh I'm in. I know I'm starting a bit late with a grand total of 0! lol

    However I've thought long and hard and realised that I've got much more chance of some sort of success on this one than the £2 coin task!

    Thinking theres gotta be more 20p in circulation than £2.
    I live in hope

  • Grrr.... I keep dipping into mine for bus fares. My bus fare is £4.80 and won't accept notes (i.e. £5) so its either give them 20p too much (£5 in £1 coins or 50ps etc) which I am loathe to do - robbing barstewards - OR dip into my 20p coins.

    Once Easter days off are over, then I can get a weekly ticket to hopefully solve this problem.

    Well done everyone! I'm proud of you!

    Well, bought some smarties to de3corate easter cakes with dd today and having not done so for a long time, what is up with the new packet?!!
    (I had visions of getting the old style and popping all the 20ps in and then putting the lid on, now I realise that would not have worked!! :rolleyes: )
    Anyway, another 20p today...

    Hi, i have what we call a stacker in our house. its a wooden savings block for 20p's, 50p,s and £1 coins, with a lock on, which is always a good thing. We dont touch it til its full and then cahs in, which is usually about £135.

    Can't remember where we got it from, a cheap shop though if I can remember, about £2.
