  • Hello everyone, Think challenge great way to save...count me in. In the past when I've used money off tokens from magazines I've put the equivalent money in a jar, it mounts up really quickly.

    Okay, I've just counted up and I'm starting with £1.80 - hopefully there will be a lot more change to come?
  • £1.46 for me today, mostly from OH it has to be said... but we are spending WAY too much money to be getting this much change:eek:

    I haven't added much recently as I have been paying my £1.50 bus fare and that's usually been it! So no change has been coming my way.

    However I think 26p went in today :rotfl:

    I really have to get to the bank this week and deposit what I *have* saved. I meant to go last week but he foul weather kept me indoors at lunch times. I think we're in for a fairer week this week in LA Land so....to the bank I must go.
