    Sparky-what kind of dog is your pup?

    Morning shelley,
    She's a Jack russel Terrier, mad as a hatter, won't let anyone walk past the housewithout barking at them, her favourite place is sitting on the back of the arm chair watching the world go by the living room window. Plus we didn't find any coins while out walking

    Bagged up some coins today and I'm at £19 and an annoying 20p off another £10 bag. Grrrr!!! I sense my other half is going to get mugged for his last 20p the next time I see him.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Tin is almost full - hence the reason I'm banking it. It goes into an account which is with an impossibly out of the way 'only branch in Glasgow and I'm never in Glasgow' bank so it becomes unreachable! As I'm in Glasgow this week and not due back there for another few months, it seems a good time to put it in the bank.

    The money is going to be spent in LA when I'm there in June.

    Definatly mug your hubby bath! that is so annoying - just 20p!!!

    I managed to put a fair bit in today - around £2 maybe £3 - also i spend £1,99 on a proper sealed tin - its one of the ones a lot of other people are using that you have to open with a tin opener and therefore i cant possibly count what i have.

    Also tin taked £500 in £1 coins so im going to increase my total aim to £250 rather than £100 (as im putting in anything and everything) and see how i go
