    I have 3 jars - am just saving them for savings sake. I haven't counted them yet, I shall wait until just before my birthday next month and buy myself a lovely treat.

  • hello - I've put £2.06 in my Branston Pickle jar this week - so now at a total of £5.31 (I've only been at it 2 weeks). I'm really pleased. I'm also unofficially collecting £2 coins in my pickle jar - and I have £8 in those - so I have got £13.31 in 2 weeks that I haven't even noticed not spending :j
