    Please can I join up - have been hoarding all our spare change for a while now so jar is pretty heavy - am going to go to bank on Tuesday and get a load of cash bags and then count it all in (is that the best way to do it? am with hsbc) - want to pay off credit card debt asap and every little counts.

  • Most of the HSBC branches have a coin sorting machine that you can just drop the money in and it goes into your account in a couple of hours.

    Good to see you by the way.

  • I know I'm supposed to wait till the end of the month but I can't wait so I counted my jar today and have over 12.00!!! Yay, that's more than I had for the whole of last month!! I'm still gonna wait until the end of the month to pay in the whole amount but might keep a check on it every now and then.

    Sorry I've not been about lately, not been too well and am still not quite right. Terribly tired and weak feeling, nearly passed out in Tesco this morning and had to get a first aider! It was so embarrassing, they pushed me to my car in a wheelchair (DH was with me so I wasn't driving before anyone protests!). Anyway, sorry for neglecting you all, I will try to get on in the next couple of days and update the lists.

    I see we have lots of newbies, I will come and welcome you properly when I'm feeling a bit more with it!
