to open and count my money tin? or not?

postingalwaysposting

I have been saving 5ps in a money tin (can only be opened using a tin opener) for just under one year. Its bigger than the 'normal' money tins you can get and has a picture on the front rather than a goal. Anyway its over 3/4 full and its so heavy now that the base is starting to bow. I dont know if i should open it or wait untill it is full so i can fit no more in. When i do open it i dont know what to do with it debts/car savings so this is putting me off opening it. But i want to know how much is in there :rotfl: Any opinions/advice... thanks pap

Hi PAP!:D

I was wondering where all the 5p's had gone:rotfl:

Personally, i'd wait until it was absolutely full, but i can see its tempting.....

I think I would wait until the year was up or it was full..... Do you have any thing to start your saving's again in.:rotfl: :rotfl:
Mind you as you can see from my sig i'm not very good and keep counting mine!!

*zippy*

I have posted wait until its full....sorry!

I think you will feel even better opening it if you have managed to fill it.

mrs money :rotfl: 5ps are my obsession... i hunt for them everywhere

jet i do... i have 5 more tins the same size :T my local pound shop were doing them buy one get one free so i stocked up i am just dreading when these all get used up

mmm zippy you do have a point there... but it sat here waiting for me... i think i will put it back on its shelf... they make great book ends :rotfl:

*still undecided*

pap dont open it till you have a plan hatched with what your gonna do with it ...you dont want it to suddenly disappear in a fenzy of cd buying or something....and try try try wait till it's full...and also get one to replace it so you can start again...i'm looking at my whisky jar just now it's looking pitiful as i emptied it the other month (we had absolutely no money ) i'm lucky if i got £10 out of it ..(but atleast that £10 got use bread milk etc).....and part of me is wishing i'd left it for my hols in july

sured

sorry double post.

thanks sued

elantan if you were desperate then needs must but i am not i am just impatient and as i am doing the no money challenge till april the 13th then it wont get filled till after my holiday... but i think i will wait... not looking forward to counting it just knowing how much is in there it will more than likely go into my car savings :rolleyes:

Wait til it explodes..the tension waiting for it to happen will be really exciting and the you get a dramatic end result!!!
