Change Jar Challenge

Queen_B_3

me either, haven't counted yet what is in the piggy bank but it doesn't feel very heavy so I would say in total I probably save around £15 in total.

Still helps though as I'm going to put it towards new things for my house that I am buying, sure it will buy a kettle or summat

Hi all I am going to count my hoard of change tonight but have a few questions to ask if that is ok, firstly will a bank take all of my bags of money or is there a limit to what they will accept, secondly, some of my bags are not filled to the right amount so a few have got say 76 1ps instead of the full 100ps will these bags be accepted as they are or will i need to have the limit in them. thirdly do i treat myself with my mini hoard :rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl: or do i do the sensible thing and put it towards a cc payment :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: .

I've just counted my box & I have a grand total of £52.01 :)Not quite the £75 target, but then I don't have a "other half" to help out,m unfortunately. (I knew there was a flaw in my plan somewhere! )

Hey guys I know most folk are joining the sealed pot challenge but is this one still going ahead in Jan? I like seeing the amount adding up every week gives me a boost think I'd give up if it was a whole year. Also was planning on using the money towards oufit/gift for brothers wedding which is in the summer.

Cheers

You're welcome to use my suggestion that I posted in the sealed pot challenge thread... grab one of those bargain OH's in the one day clearance sale on 29th February 2008 :rotfl: I guess the downside (or upside, depending how you want to look at it) would be only one anniversary every 4 years!

Added afterthought!!! Apologies in advance to 'Flowerofthewest' if you are male! No offence meant
