    Hello everyone, what a great thread :)

    Could I possibly join in too? I have an Ikea flip lid glass jar which I keep my change in and I normally cash it in every three months, but I could keep it going until December. I would love to have £500 saved by then :)
    Pay off all my debts before Christmas 2015 #165.

    Purchased a £10 book token from my daughter (was a school award) so I popped that into the jar. Have added a few more quid on and off as well. I'm looking forward to seeing how much is there on 1st December!
