    I posted about this beginning Jan :( x


    You did monz, it was you that put it in my head. I think we should all be ok as the banks will take £1 coins after October 15:o

  • I think people will still be able to change the coins for some considerable time after October 2017 though.

    I will definitely need a window after October to change some of mine - I found a £1 coin down the side of the sofa last week and also one under the bed in the spare room......clearly the little so and so's are preparing early and going into hiding now :rotfl:


    This made me chuckle:p

  • Hello everyone,


    Just popping on to update our totals and I have to say how well we are all doing:D


    To say we are still in February, there are some fantastic amounts but it is only what we have come to expect...big pat on the back for us all:T


    All totals updated where requested.

    £2.15 added from Quidco and TCB,

    been a little slow on this front, but I have some large payments waiting to go to confirmed status, so that should bump me up
