Hi all, thanks for the shiny new thread my target for 2012 is going to be £1,000 ,it feels a bit odd having no pennies in my pot I don't like it so I had better get saving

dizzybee

well done to all those that completed the challenge last time round.some really good savings hope mine will be over the £200 mark but not going to set a target just keep adding and will look forward to the surprise on the 1 Dec 2012.
I have found my self walking a long the road with my head down found a penny and got really excited my mate thought i had lost the plot.so 1p road kill and empited my lose change into pot.

£6.30 potted tonight. Money left over from School Xmas Fayre funds as we queued to see Santa so long we didn't get a chance to spend loads of money on other stalls. Result!

Hi Sue

Thank you.

Yes will make £100 my target for now. And will see how it goes. I probably won't keep a running total, so will see if i get a nice surprise next year.

Oh my goodness, I forgot how fast this thread moves!

I have put my total in SPC4 and I have just put 5p into my empty pot. Not empty any more I know I set a target but I don't intend to count along the way, just gonna wait for a surprise on 29th November.

Thanks to Sue and Sparky for all your hard work.

Im new to this as well and at the mo Im using 2 empty pickle jars with masking tap over the top, shabby chic (actually forget the chic bit:rotfl:)
Im guessing they will fill up quiet quickly (fingers crossed) one for coppers one for silver.
I will take them to the "coin counter" machine at my local supermarket, bank it, then start all over again!
Good luck:beer:

-You do know that the coin machines in the supermarkets TAKE 8 to 10% :eek: of YOUR money for the privilige of counting it for you. Better off if you have an HSBC account their larger branches have coin counting machines which pay the money straight into your account free of charge, or try changing it at your local shops who will be happy to take it off you.

Another 22p in tea room floor change this evening, the young lads in my work just seem to not like having change, so they throw it on the floor, must be waiting for some old fella (me!) to come along and pick it up
