  • Wow I'm very impressed with the totals so far! I'm definitely going to join in properly on the 2nd, no cheating this time! Last year I had to keep taking money out, oops!

    The Bees, what a fantastic total!

    Mummytummy wow!

    Had been banking as I went along but am amazed at how much I have managed to save this way and I have been very good and not touched any of it - I opened a savings account specially for it!

    I did save almost every coin I got in my change however...doubt I will be able to do that again but certainly I would like to do it again next year...probably will stick to £2 and 20p coins, along with smash!

    Congrats to everyone on their totals too :j
