    Get them in to £1 bags and take them to a bank. So long as you don't have too many and / or you go at a quiet time, they are usually ok with it.

    Do NOT under ANY circumstances go to the machines in Supermarkets :naughty:

    Oh thanks Lurkio. I knew the supermarket ones were supposed to be a bad idea but I wasn't sure people still went to banks to change up coppers. I will be one of "those people" in the bank.:rotfl:

    (I'm never keeping my coppers again, why did I ever do it.;))

    10th AF day for me today!

    I'm not doing too bad this month. I'm trying to focus on the hours between 5pm and 10pm as that is when I normally drink. I read a CBT book about cutting down on alcohol last summer but it has only really hit home with me I think.



    Sounds very similar to me. Read the books, read the thread etc etc. Then one day it finally hits home.

    Good luck.
