Finally banked my change today! £8.09 for these first few weeks.
I took great pleasure in updating my signature with that!
Starting again now....added 10p earlier...it made a sad lonesome clanging noise in the bottom of the tin I have to say! :rotfl:Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
Sainsburys Loan: Cleared July 2010
Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly

daft question maybe, but when doing your weekly totals do you just tip the jar out and count from the beginning or do you keep a running total throughout the week?Payment a day challenge:
Capital One Credit Card - £7.55/£1306.560 -
