  • Can I join in to please??? :j

    I have a pig that I put all my spare change in but thats not working as I keep taking the odd pound out every now and again when I have no money for bus fare - whoops!!!

    Asked for a terramundi for Christmas so that will stop me from getting the money out before the 1 year is up!!

    My aim is to reach around £400 - so thats around £33 a month in change! I think I can afford that!!

    Roll on 1st December so I can start saving my change!

    I'd like to join please. I only get out about once a week so don't often get a chance to get change, so I'll set my aim for £50!

    I also do "Save The Change" with my bank account, so if I used my debit card instead of cash, the bank automatically puts the change to the nearest pound into my savings account. I've got £12.50 in there! :D

    So however I spent, I'll be saving my change.
  • Please count me in too.... I have large empty scrumpy bottle and a tube of superglue on standby (book me an ambulance for about 3 mins after I open the superglue!!!)

    Will go for £200 as a rough guestimate but not much of a clue really......
    ..... story of my life!!!

    Good Luck everyone.xxx
