    Evening all - I've been reading the thread though not had time to post for a couple of days, you are all doing so well and isn't it going to be fabulous at the great reveal - I can't wait. Tonight I had another £2.80 for the tin and I think I'm going to call it full - I'm now trying to decide what to use for the remainder. I've been saving my £'s in a separate tin which isn't full but not sure if I want to sully that with other coins, but don't want to use one of the tins I've bought already for next year as I know at this stage unless a miracle occurred I'm not going to be filling it. Decisions, decisions. I may just use a jar with a lid but cover it so I can't see the contents - don't like temptation staring at me.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm still here not potted a lot because I've not used the cashpoint in a while. I had a hunt round the house and 10p added to the pot.
