    I'm up to £3.48 which I think is an increase of.........45p! :rotfl:

    However I have to say this is good in a way as it means my spending is down overall cos I'm not getting any change to put in...so money saving in another way. :)

    Hi all im new to all this but i already save my change so if no one objects i would like to join the challenge.

    I dont usually bank the money i end up with, but now up till xmas i will.

    just totted up all my change and already have bagged up ready for the BANK £21 and in my hippobank and sheepbank (dont ask) i have the grand total of £9.77.
    so i am gonna really challenge myself and go for the £150 target.may get tough though as im off work at the mo and dont get out much. Oh well ,will have to do my best puppy dog ~got any change~ looks at OH see if that helps ;)
