    Just curious - what's everyone going to do with the money when the pots are opened?
    I'm using mine to pay off a credit card debt. (I've got to be good and not just spend/waste it!)

    Mine's part of my Christmas fund - I only save small change and then I give the whole bank, complete with cash inside, as a special pressie to someone :D Christmas just past, the telephone box bank was filled to the top and had just over £44 in it, so it isn't a bad pressie to give.
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.
