    As soon as the kids saw me scouring for loose change they promptly brought me all of theirs. My grand total now stands at 307 pennies, happy days...
    Everything is ok in the end. If it's not ok, then it's not the end:)

    Hello all!

    I am also a bit late on signing up to here (as well as the rest of the challenges currently taking my fancy) but think this thread is a great idea, so would like to be counted in! :)

    I've been putting all loose change < £1 coins in a sealed tin, currently have the majestic total of 106 pennies :D I've not decided whether to save it until the end of the year as an xmas bonus, or use it to pay things off sporadically, but time will tell.

    Good luck all,
    Bear

    Went shopping with the Mr today, and he bought a washing machine and a laptop and various other things that made me wince. He did however give me the pennies he got in change from his purchases! That' another 257 pennies to go in the pot!

    "Every penny's a prisoner" is a great line! I don't like saying "every little helps" since it's been hijacked by you-know-who - I can now use this instead.

    no pennies found today but virtual pennies saved during the power cut, so I guess that's something. :)
