  • I started doing this when I first joined the airforce in 2000. I have a VERY large plastic Heinekan bottle, which I regularly throw my change into. It's not even half full yet, but I counted it back in 2005, and there was over £450 in it!! :j Was well chuffed.

    No real point to this post, just wanted to say a very good luck to all taking part.:rudolf:

    (s'pose I should count it again soon:cool:)

    My aim is to fill my terramundi. I'm not sure what coins yet I'll be saving, still need to think about that, but I'd just like to fill it and then it will be a surprise at the end depending on what sort of coins it is ;):D
    My budget is usually fairly tight but hopefully along the way I'll find odd bits to chuck in ;)
