Total is now at £11.18 getting there, me & DH have decided that this is going to be our Christmas treat money, some nice food and wine/beer so this should help us along the way!!
Also is it cheating if I have a 50p in my purse and I change that into 20p or less from my sons money box so I can put it in my change jar but also to be able to sort my sons change out so I can bank it? i was thinking if I do this with any 50ps then I can bnk his money too? What do you recon??
His money was saved prior to Change jar Challenge is it cheating??

I should have more change this week but shopping challange may have gone to pot. I am all over the place with so many places to go and so many bowls matches to play now that the sun has appeared at last. Instead of planning for month I may do it forthnightly instead but may be still on target. :rolleyes:0
