    Jo, I take mine to the bank - if you go in beforehand and get the little bags, you can bag it up and then pay it in to your account. It's easy. I think they take up to five bags at one time.

    Mummy, I've just realised that you've banked some money so I will put that next to your name on the first post, well done!

    Well done guys for adding to your pots, I think I've got about £3 in change to put in as I popped into the village this morning

  • Hi All, I've just found this thread and i have been doing this for sometime, I use my loose change as a PAD and put it into my sealed pot, and at the end of every month i add it up and pay it against one of my CC's. I think the most in a month i have had is £33, but if you add that up over a year, it all adds up.

    I have added/Padded, 62p to the tin today,

    Just to let you know, I've not disappeared but I've got some kind of horrible virus and have been in bed all day. I'm fine, just feeling really tired and weak.

    Sorry, not up to reading what you have all been up to, I will catch up when I get better. Please carry on posting and normal service will be resumed asap!
