I have just filled my second diet coke tin. I have sealed it with sticky tape and put it away with its friend, number 1 tin. I am now about to start on tin 3 and hopefully this will be filled by 1.12.2008. I have not put anything greater in value than a 20p coin in the tins so although they are full it is very low value coinage. I don't care because this is money I would never have saved to will be really pleased when I open them. The tins are really heavy so they should have a good bit in them.
Keep going everyone.0
