    I read what I thought was a good suggestion for this. Write the amounts down (1p - £3.65) on separate pieces of paper and put in a tub. Evey day pull one out and that is the amount you put in for that day. In theory it should spread it out, unless you are unlucky and all pick all high ones at once!

    I might try that method myself only I won't be putting in every day, but I could still pull 3 or 4 tickets each week.



    Ah, thanks for the advice. That sounds like it will spread the load a bit. £2.01 in this morning so off to a good start. I have a party tonight and the living room is still full of kids presents so a lot of tidying ahead of me. Hope you all have a good day x

    Could I please join? I'm intending to save the new £5 notes and have managed to find 2 last week that I've put away.
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

    Just noticed this article about the new 12 sided pound coin that is due out on 28th March - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38480180

    The older round pound coin will only be legal tender until 15th October!!
