    Hello to all in here. I'm pretty rubbish at saving change as there's never any spare, however, Phil is filling slowly. I can't keep up with all the threads, just never seem to find the time, so feel free to update me on anything important. Are all the papier mache animals still intact? :)

    I am still doing this!

    All change & £2 coins go in.

    My tin is so heavy already.

    The kids want a DS each for xmas. This money should hopefully cover most, if not all!

    Yeah, I'm on lates til 11, then get to spend some quality time with my DW, been playing with the snowball calc tonight, as I've got a loan (last payment this month), and if I throw the £138 ontop I can shave 26 months off my DF day. Also done the budget palnner & that tells me I should have more cash left than I actually do :confused: , looks like the spending diary is going to have to come back into play again.
