    Somehow I've missed this challenge for 5 months!!!!:eek:

    Although I already have a 'penny' biscuit jar, and all spares/finds are put in here. I started it after Christmas and it's doing nicely, but I haven't counted it and will probably join the thread now if that's OK and leave it until 1st Dec.
    Everyone joins in and the children have found quite a few £s worth of 'dropped' coins.

    I'm also doing the £10 per day challenges for Ebay/clicks/bingo/cashback etc...

    good luck everyone:T
