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!
