    LOOPY! ME! Can't be me! Lol! I was wondering where the sounds of singing and dancing were coming from every night! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:As long as they're all happy together I don't mind. :beer:

    hi all,

    Firstly I will apologise if im posting this in the wrong place!! but cant find the info I need.

    I have got loads and loads of pennies to cash up but dont have anytime to go the bank. plus I havent got many money bags either. I have used the machines at asdas before and I know you lose a bit but I am trying to avoid that. any ideas anyone??

    thanks :)

    i would avoid these because they charge, you can get money bags from the post office or if you really can't bag it up you could start taking a handful shopping with you when you go and throw them in the selfservice tills

  • Another 29p in the pot tonight. My other half had left it lying on the kitchen table and my daughter potted it before I had time to even suggest it to her.
    Good!
