What a brilliant idea to grow savings! It's even better than the £2 jar. Every time I look at my online statement from now on I'm going to chuck the pence into my savings.

Brilliant!

I'm the same with my debt figure. I have to round it off each time I pay something off or it annoys me! Sad but true!

Verbatim

But why not find a higher rate ISA and leave the cash there? Once you've withdrawn the cash from an ISA you can't have another one. And if you leave it in you keep the cash tax free for ever(or until the rules change lol) and can have an ISA for each tax year.

Boomdocker

I do the same.

At the end of the month after my standing order pays in and I have transferred my ebay/amazon/change funds across I round up my balance to an even amount in my savings account. I pay myself a small amount depending on funds a couple of quid and what ever the pence is to make a whole number.

As mad as it is it kind of encourages me to save (a bit more)

I check my co op cashminder account online everyday. All "loose change" gets transferred to my nat west step account - this is my account for unexpected expenses, Christmas etc.

:rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl:
thought i was the only one who couldn't stand the amounts being "untidy" i always pay off the extra pence on cc payments to get rid of it and move money into my savings acount to round off my current account.
I just like to see nice round 00 balances on everything.:o
Just when you think it is all straight they add interest or take out a payment from the current acount and mess it up again:mad: :mad:
Must get a life:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

then when its the end of the financial year i withdraw it all (its a nice little pot then) and stick it in my ing accounts... so what do you do with you odd pennies in your accounts?

I generally save my pennies by a big pot by the side of the bed, then every Xmas eve I go out and get smashed out of my skull on a bottle of cheap Vodka from costcutters. Got into a spot of bother last year though, the filth caught me weeing through the neighbours letterbox!

:eek:
