    Pleased with this so far. Some weeks we do have more change than others. Don't know if I will reach £75 by December but what I will have is more than I would have had.

  • Well I have a grand total of £6.05 so not too bad, would have had more but had to use some change for parking as I didn't want to put £1 in when it only costs 70p and the machine doesn't give change so it wouldn't have been very moneysaving to waste 30p as you don't even get extra time if you pay the £1.
    Credit Card 1 - £2900, credit card 2 - £6020 (0%).
    Mortgage £84000 - 17 years left without overpayments.

    Got to get organised, first credit card 1 £0/£2900

    Me too me too :T :T :T :o

    Have been challenging it up (seeing some familiar faces too!) and decided another challenge can ONLY be a good thing!! ;) Just banked a load of coins so have £1.79 left to start me off if thats ok?? :D Not really going to break any banks but makes me feel better!!!

    Shall tot up every sunday - with my change and other bits of cash I can sneak around the house (BF - not stealing off random strangers!) :rotfl:

    Has amused me greatly reading that everyone else steals other male's change as well -seriously where does it come from???

    Off to update sig... again... adding more joy!! Shall be going for piggy bank as the cash is going in a cute little Pigsback piggy that I got before I truely appreciated the joys of vouchers!!

    Good luck all - please let me join :o !!!!!!!

    Sorry that I have not had time to email my updated figure but I had my beautiful daughter Ava on Saturday. Also I need to re-add up as we had no change for hospital so had to use jam jar money. I think i'll replace this though at some point over the next few days.
    Hope your all well.
    Laura :)
