    I'm up to £30 worth of 50ps so far.
    I don't seem to need to dip in to mine as I also save £2 coins, £1 coins and 20 pence pieces. So I dip into those if I need to. I also have a jar for shrapnel-10s,5s, 2s and 1s.
    I hate having a purse full of change so I sort it out several times a week. I only leave in about £1.80 in change, in various denominations so I always have change for parking-should I need it.
    I am also very lazy and if I'm in a hurry, instead of putting my change back in my purse, I just drop it into my bag. So every week I find a few quid in the bottom of my bag.
    This is just an insight as to how I get so many so quick. :)

  • I will need to make more of an effort through the later part of this year to get myself geared up for the 2017 thread.

    Next year I am not going to dip into my tin at all - pinky promise!

    Well done to you all for getting more 50ps this month. :j
    I bought something yesterday and they didn't have any notes so they gave me over £10 worth of change. I now have over £30 in 50 pence pieces.
    I have had a very expensive month so far and I need to cut right back.

  • I've been the same tattycath.

    I have started my Christmas shopping though so don't feel so bad about it.

  • It's good that we had them to dip into.

    Otherwise I would have added that to a credit card.
