  • welcome waltzingmatilda - this is a great thread, it's amazing how quickly those little coins build up to a nice tidy sum!
  • Paid for a £4 exercise calss with a £20 note - the lady was thanking me for a note as it means she can out it into bank as she ends up spending the coins. I eyed up her change bag and told her she could pay my change in £2 coins saving her the £5 and £10 note. She was delighted and I was delighted. Another £16 into the pot making it £170!!! Yippee! :j

    If you can't take responsibility for it, you'll always be a victim.

    I had 4 today taking my total to £46 :)
    Boiler pot £30.92/£1000
  • Due to a disaterous year this year my terramundi got broken in to a few months ago. Wasn't too bad as I had £300 of them stashed away in there.

    I will be doing this again next year and it's good to see so many that have joined and are still joining.

    Buffy - If you aren't running this thread next year, I'll happily take over again as I enjoyed doing it last time.

    Well done everyone.

    Happy saving :) xx

    Welcome to Waltzing Matilda, Cancerianmam, Watalie and anyone else I may have missed recently! Its never too late to join a challenge like this I reckon! I'm still collecting away, got another £8 recently so added to the pot.

    Purpletea - did you actually smash the terramundi? I hope it was just a figure of speech?!

    I'm still collecting and got £8 recently. All gone into the pot. Congrats to everyone who keeps finding a little £2er!!
