    Well, I've not been too good with this challenge this week! Any money in my purse has been spent pretty sharpish but I dis manage a couple of coins. Hopefully I'll improve next week :)

    Sorry, I've been very much MIA myself...Just been a VERY up and down Month so far...at one point I had 25p left in my Purse...for a few days...

    But things are looking up now.

    So I've just put the change that I have left in my Purse into my Jar and that's for the Month so far.

    So my Total for March so far is ...... *DRUM ROLL*..... £2.95... :rotfl:

    Ah well, better something than nothing at all ;)

    Had to empty my pot today for some change and haven't managed to put it back yet, hopefully will top it up by the end of the month. All in all not doing too great this time but have managed to hunt down a number of £2 coins this week so it's not all bad.

    Hope everyone is doing better than me :)

    I managed to put in 35p yesterday. I know it's only supposed to be our highest Coin but some days I can't do any...so when I have some spare money I just put in all the coins I can manage.

    So, my Running Total is £3.30 for March so far... :T
  • £1.20 added - not been updating daily, will try and keep up now :).

    I've not been keeping track but 20p has gone in today... after 'borrowing' from the tin this weekend that probably makes 20p in total but it's all better than nothing. I had money to pay back in what I'd used but it was in £2 coins which I struggle to get so I added them to my £2 coin pot instead.

    It all goes towards the same thing ultimately.

    Have just re-done our snowball and am re-motivated now to bring down the repayment time on all our debts.

    And it's payday tomorrow so finally some cash :D
