Hi everyone
DH has finally sealed up the whisky jar and big glass jar with that gooey white stuff that you seal around the edge of a bath with!... and we're off to a flying start with 4x £2 coins in just a few days. :j
In 2011 we managed £428.67 so the aim for 2012 has to be £500.
£208 was in £2 coins and there was £50 in £1 coins in the whisky jar. I'd like to put at least 2 x £1 coins in the whisky jar every week so we get over £100 just from those.
All loose change this year will be going towards the mortgage capital repayment. We're saving for a summer holiday and DS MIGHT go to uni in the autumn so the loose change is going to be a big help.
Happy saving everyone.

He (Mr. Tumble) used to stay on top of the wardrobe overlooking the bed mudflower. I have to admit he looked a little freaky late at night, in a certain light with his grinning bright teeth....
Think Mr Tumble should be sorting out the Euro financial problems myself.
Evening all, just 10p today i'm afraid, but payday tomorrow - hurrah!:T
