Best Coin Forward Challenge (Formerly "Bear Essentials")

emsikins

Ha ha, I know how you feel Sarah... after this challenge and my loose change challenge I have only 20p left in my purse!... but it will all be worth it in the end. And I work on the basis that if it's not in my purse I won't spend it!

Hi, i'd like to join the challenge .

I've just had a look in my purse and to my shock found a £1 coin :j. Not a bad way to start a new challenge :beer:

Plus, i found 10 pence on the dining table. That's going into the pot too .

OMG had to use a £2 coin today :eek: Did get another one to replace it but still not happy about it!

£1 for me today, my first one

Sarah you brave girl - I would be distraught!
back up to £1 for me today - hoping the 20p was just a glitch :cool:

Welcome to the challenge coffee-break and well done on such a good start! Unfortunately for me I have had to save 20p again today. I've had no cash for the last few days so have been wittling my coins down! Lol! Hopefully be back up again tomorrow

£1 for me today

I now have 4 different pots £2, Coppers, Change Found & This one . . . . My mum thinks I'm crazy!

Hmmm thinking of joining this.... will need to find a piggy bank - where's the cheapest place to get one or what can I make into a money box?

Most of mine are glass food jars that I've washed out, it's all about saving money not spending it

Thanks Emsikins . I know what you mean about having no cash, today i have 10p! in my purse to donate but i also found 18p in loose change, so that's going into the pot .

I've 2 pots at the moment, one for Coppers which is getting quite heavy :T and one for Silvers, £1 and £2 coins. I want to separate the £1 and £2 coins at some point, but i hardly ever see £2 coins so i don't think it'll be worth it .

Well, everyone seems to be doing really well. And hello to all the new comers! I don't know about anyone else but I'm itching to see how much I have saved towards my CCs!

Back to the higher coins for me today at last with £1 . I had a choice so I picked the brightest, shiniest one I had. Also had a few coppers to add to my loose change pot so a good day today.
