    Has anyone else got into a habit with their pot yet? I just walk in an put all my change in (without counting) its become a habit in just a month!!!

    i will do soon, i use to do it all the time early this year, but i tend to use my debit card a lot know so never have cash. i think i will start taking cash out of the bank on a sunday for the week, then put all small change in my pot every night. at least with my seald pot DS can't help him self for school anymore.

    im only putting £2 and £1 coins in so i make an effort to save at least one each time i get change :p

    all the little ones get put in another pot, they then mount up and i put them in my sons saving account.
