    Well done - hope you washed your hands afterwards.

    I've put a few coins in my piggie-wig this week as I've had to take a few cabs up to the hospital:eek: I fell over and broke my jaw - but the upside is I've been working from home all week:j:j:j
    I've paid another £1600 of my cc this month - £600 was from my sealed pot - really wish my debts would shrink more quickly tho:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Does anyone else get bored of paying off their debts???
    :grin: Save me from spending...

    How do I join, is just loose change or does it have to £1 or £2 coins ? Sounds like a great challenge.

    Had another lucky find at the washing machine again. This time I found a £5 note and a 50p coin in my son's shorts before they went in the wash. I felt a bit guilty taking the note so I gave that back to him as he's only 15 but the 50p went in the jar! :j
