  • Right, going to sort out my change and put it in my rucksack. Sparky, do I need to sort it for the change machine or can I just tip it all in from my bag unsorted?

    The one's in supermarkets you do, they charge you 8%. if you have an HSBC account, there is no charge, and the money goes straight into your account hun :D

    Member 334 signing in....with £70.84 - not at all a bad effort (had to steal £30 earlier in the year for bills!!!) - and in the true MSE style, I have bagged the coins, and those that didn't fit neatly into bags have gone back into the pot for next year - so sign me up again!!!
    Why does nobody say Thank You anymore??:mad:
