    Hi All

    Only 51p - very poor week again, I only spent cash on Wednesday last week when I took my distraught friend out for a drink - her dog was put to sleep earlier in the day. Otherwise it would have been a good deal less :eek:

    So the grand total so far is £4.37 at this rate I will have saved about £37.00 by Christmas.

    Good luck everyone

    Saw your challenge and as a spur of the moment thing, while it was fresh in my mind emptied all the loose change from my purse into jar...

    Two hours later I park in pay and display car park with only a £5 note!

    I only need to go to bank to pay a bill.. do I?

    a) Ask someone leaving for the remains of their ticket?

    b) Ask someone for change ?

    C) Risk leaving the car for 5 mins without ticket and possible fine?

    Well sat in car for 10 min, saw no one so option a and b were no good....

    Luckily I got away with option c

    Just be careful and put a few coins in your car before you empty into the jar!
