Hello Potters

Just popping on to log my pennies for the past few days, been a busy bee socialising, but made sure I remember the pennies for potting £4.04.
Nite, nite all. Will catch up with reading through very soon.

I'm not declaring yet for this year, sorry! We are saving for a holiday at Whit next year, and the pot is about half full, so we're going to keep going and open it in May.

Thanks for the suggestion Sue, I'm going to try that. I've made a slit in the lid of a large jar and taped up the jar lid and i've found another jar to use as the holding jar.

edit - cant get link to work, its the sealed ones out of B&Ms with money on the side - think the £1 shops do them too

Hello - does anyone know how many £1s these jars hold and also 50ps?

Sorry if its answered already, I've started a £1 one and a 50p one this week

Hello :santa2: If it's quite a large tin then I know which ones you mean as I got one of those for my SPC last week. I have no idea how many it would hold but it is quite large so I would estimate it as LOTS :rotfl: Helpful aren't I!! Mine has everything going in it but if you were just putting £1's and 50p's in then it probably would add up to some serious money! :T

Very excited and so just wanted to pop on and say I did something great today (yep already and it's only half past seven!!). We don't really have any debts as such but I did have one bill I was paying back. As it was interest free I paid £100 a month and it was going to end in February but I had some extra money and decided to get rid of that debt as a Christmas treat to me!! :xmastree: I know it probably sounds like a trivial thing compared to what some of you are striving to clear but the feeling of clearing something that's been hanging over you like a nasty reminder is probably the same! Now every little extra can go into our deposit ISA. :T

I don't count my pot but this year I am thinking of emptying it every now and then at the bank and instead of popping it into my regular bank account i will pop it in my ISA, that way I won't touch it and it might get some interest, who knows

That's a good idea suzitiger if you can pot a decent amount. My pot usually only gets fed small change and the occasional £1 coin so I will be leaving it in but on the rare occasion I can pot a note I will be putting it into my ISA too. It's an instant access one so I can get to it if necessary but it might give me a few pennies extra at the end Any money from eB*y sales will also get banked and the amount added to my siggy so I neither forget it nor spend it We're good souls aren't we :A :rotfl::rotfl:

I've been potting stuff as it appears in my pocket (wish that was by magic rather than just change!) I've got £2 to go today from the change I got from buying a Christmas present
