i have a empty coke bottle 2 litres i know its crazy, i dont know when i will fill it up, should get a decent amount in there. Only saving 5p and 20p cos thats all that will fit in there. but im excited, its gonna take along time to fill up but once ive done it it will be such a accomplishment

lesley do you always fill yours to the top before you decide to cash it?

Morning everyone,

Thank you so much for the good wishes - it means a lot to me!:T

I have had my wobbly moments but this could turn out to be a great thing in the long run. I might end up debt and almost mortgage free with a nice new home. But for now everything is up in the air so I'm just getting on with things as best I can.

I did repay my €2 so no raps on the knuckles needed this time And I finally went into the bank with my change and lodged €60 against my loan. So that was a nice feeling. The balance is reducing slowly but surely!:j

So now my little jar is looking empty and sad - I will have to get to work on filling it again!

Hope you're all having a nice Saturday.

i am dertermined to this time focus the way i do it all coins that i collect are as follows

all £2
£1 (only with the 3 lions on)
2 x 50p a week
and all of 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p, 1p,

i put them in a glass jar from the first of the month and on the last day of the month count them up and transfer to the carlsberg jar, then put totals on a spreadsheet, so I know how much i had for each coin, how much has gone in and the grand total.

So at a given time I can tell you what I have in the carlsberg bottle

I've been doing this for a while, collecting all the 1, 2 and 5p pieces I get in my purse.

The only thing is that I have been collecting them in an unopenable money box which won't be opened until it is full. I therefore can't actually tell how much is in there!

When it's opened I plan on paying the total off my CC.

It's between a third and a half full. It has taken several months to get to this point.

I wonder how much is in there?

I added another £1.24 today from my purse.....

Really depressing actually.....I took £80 out in cash from the ATM to pay off other things and that was all i had left.........
