    I have an old pencil tin. I looks like a yellow dustbin, but it's too easy to get into, though I haven't so far.

    I've asked my boyfriend for a Terrimundi for my birthday!!

    I was thinking of getting one of those petty cash boxes, with a lock. That way I can put the money in a bank account when it's full - and I can be sure my hubby can't get his sticky mitts on the cash! ;)

    We already save coppers (the coin type not the odd policeman that we see! :p ) and 20p's but this would be handy towards any holiday we might be able to manage this year :T

    I just started saving my £2 coins, in January I saved £10, a good start!

    Where does everyone save their coins? Do you have special tins?

    I use a Coca Cola tin which used to house Coca Cola coasters! It has a lid, so stops my OH dipping in!

    Hello everyone, I love reading everybody elses progress.

    Have still not decided what to save towards, really should as I've had nearly a year to think.

    For my own personal challange I refuse to ask for them in my change or to buy them from people, but all donations welcome - BIL very generous with donations :D

    I try to bank (seperate account just for bonus savings) and update my signature monthly.

    £22 this month :j
