Blimey - I just went and changed up a big jar of coppers and small change and managed to add £46 to my holiday fund! :beer:
And I get the warm feeling inside from donating a little bit of it to charity as well!:j :j :j
A good day (it doesn't take much does it!)

I go through my husband's wallet and grab all his spare change for our coppers pot. It's great- he doesn't miss it but he always appreciates being given spending money when we go on holiday.Debt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24
currently: £13,353.25DFW Nerd 178Proud to be dealing with my debts0 -
I save mine in one of those huge coke bottle type things. I emptied it about 6 months ago and I had almost £200 in there which was bagged up and banked and used to pay off the balance of a store card.
Hooray for saving coppers!
:heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0
