    I love this tin of money i have at my gfs, its so addictive. £25 notes + a handful of change already, cant wait until its filled right up, hope to get a good sum from it and put it in my account. By then i should be debt free so it really will be mine and savings :D

    Can i ask how you got into debt ? , if you don't want to answer its fine.

    You had a good savings and all, i remember when i first posted you had quite a bit i did a few posts, then stopped coming here.

    Brave man, leaving a tin of money at your girlfriend's. My boyfriend gets suspicious if I so much as look at his wallet, or even if I innocently ask (with no ulterior motive, naturally) if I can study the pattern on his credit card.
