    Hi Newbie here, am I too late to join? This sounds a brilliant idea and I already have a money box for my spare change so will just have to seal it

    Ooh.. Ooh.. can I play too??? Can I play too???

    I have a quality street jar which I'm going to hack a hole in for pennies and open it when it is full!!

    I have a piggy but it keeps getting raided.. but a taped shut jar won't!!

    PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEEE

    I reckon I'll get about £400 in mine.. but that will cover the cost of christmas presents for fmaily members.. but I'll aim for £200 I don't want to be overly confident!

    I have a savings account I am saving £100 a month in for next christmas as well.

    And continuing paying off debts at the same time! I CAN and WILL do this this year.. I WILL have them beat!

    So... can I play?

    Is it any change we can out in or just coppers and silver??
