    Oh pants!!! I've been putting change in the pigsback piggy since Sunday and now when I go to see how much is in it so I can keep a weekly tab....I've gone and lost the bloomin key!!!!!!:confused:

    Anyway I've had a root around in it to see roughly how much is in there and I estimate so far there is £3.13 so I'll add all the money going into it to that estimated balance and take it from there!!!

    Then I'll spend the money on buying a hammer to try and get the money back out!!!:rolleyes: (Would that be a paradoxical timewarp scenario?):o

    Wow! The money really is mounting up already! Shocking really :)

    I'll be counting at the end of the month I think - or at least 3 weeks - should have a nice little amount saved by then!

    Fab idea! COUNT ME IN.

    Hmm, think I'll start with the Jam Jar to start off with.

    Have just emptied the 2 change jars I normally use for silver & coppers as I know nothings gone in there since the end of June. Coppers went to my son (only a tiny bit more than his pocket money for the week) & the silver will do for the schools Summer fayre on friday. Then I searched the house for change (normally OHs change dump piles), & my bag for the change from todays shopping, the result:-

    £2.70p
