    Is there not a machine you can use (we have one at our local Sainsburys') or do they charge?

    Hi, these machines do take a percentage of your cash. I'm not sure how much but any is too much.

    Potted £2.87 today. I haven't seen any £2 coins for ages, I bet that Sparky has been having them all.

    Welcome to our newest potters. It's lovely seeing how many people are joining us. We'll be making the headlines when we all open our pots. :rotfl:

    Samtoby stay away from the c*instar machines they take almos 10% of YOUR money, I use the machine in the H$BC and the money goes straight into my account :D

    Ooh ModestyB I've got to confess to geting a lot of £2 coins and potting them into my Chicago & New York 2013 spending fund tin, which also gets fed 50p's and is getting nice and heavy and that horrible empty clunking sound of "the new tin" has stopped now ;)

    Both you ladies have a nice Afternoon/evening :)

    Little_sweetie arn't they!

    But I hope I end up having more of my own one day :)

    That would be lovely samtoby and the baby would have a smashing big brother too :)

    sparky is quite right about that. I looked up the % they take before I use it and it's way too much at 10%. I only wish my local H$BC had a coin machine too then I would use that. Good old sparky for sound advice :D

    Happy Birthday Eliza :party:

    A super fantabulous £21 into my 'mummys fund' terramundi pot (after a slight tiff with DH about his spending ;) decided that my january sales pocket money pot could do with some love ;). 50p in bratfinks pot and a random 29p out of the bottom of my brand new and free purse that my mum gave me after getting fed up of me rummaging in the bottom of my handbag for change because my old purse zip had broken and I refused to pay for a new one :o
