Loose Change Pays My Debt version 2

Dorastar

Went and investigated and our HSBC doesn't have the cash paying in machine so have sat with kids "helping" count out the cash in our huge money pot - I know we're not supposed to do this till the end of the month but the jar was full, and it is my first time. Can't believe there was a massive £57-90 in there! and a few foreign coins as well (grrr).

Have just re-jigged credit card debt so it is going straight in there tomorrow - want it all paid off as soon as humanly possible and figure every bit helps.

its amazing how fast it mounts up really isnt it dorastar. no set rules about when you count up, count as often or as little as you please is the only rule well done.

Well done Ruby, glad you used the money from your pot to pay a bill. It's much better to do that than sticking it on a card and getting more in debt. I will add that to your total on the first page.
Yes, the holiday was great thanks. We went to the Somme region in France, and the weather was warm and sunny the whole time which surprised us a lot! My parents, sister, and grandparents were all on the same campsite as me and hubby (actually we were in mobile homes next to each other) and some friends of ours who live in France came up for a few days, so we had a really wonderful time.
How are you? Love you sig about being like a postage stamp!

I would like to join in!! I usually end up spending loose change on food so this will be great if I have something else to aim for! I can put it towards my other challenge. I know I am near the end of the month but I can still start now! Going to raid my handbag!!! lol..... :j:j

Thank Rosepink! So do we do a total of change saved at the end of the month? I wish I had seen this earlier! lol, I might just start now until the end of next month. Only a few days left of April really!
