Thanks Sue-UU!! I will definitely save half, treat myself a bit, and leave the rest for sale shopping to indulge myself. I never ever buy clothes full price, but I have my eye on a gorgeous dress which is £45 but would be timeless, so I think that + the perfume will be my treats. Rest into savings/for holidays spends next year:D

Re: bags of coins - I've taken as many as eight in to the bank at one time and had no problems changing them. And if there is a problem then I'll just spread them around several different banks. I don't know about you but I'm really looking forward to just counting it all.

Hi oppalah, I didn't mean that it was us possibly having problems with taking our change into the banks, it's the fact that shop keepers have to pay when they go to get change from the bank and if we could help them out, all well and good. I suppose that's what makes the world go around though, so maybe it's the norm, though it never used to be years ago. Ah well...just a thought if folk live local to shops.:A 8 into a bank at a time eh - jammy devil you!!!

Hiya Sparky, good to see you again. IF we don't see you before then have a wonderful time in NY and really enjoy yourselves. Just come safely home again and give your puter another kick! :mad:

Good for you jamtart6, I bet that dress is a stunner - so if you get the two, you'll certainly look and smell divine!

Puzzled - that is what I call a good day's catch, hope you get more like it!!!

Hey moneypooh - is that what's referred to as laundered money!!! :eek: :j

After the shopping today I ended up with £1.62, not bad at all, though I was hoping for more....:rolleyes: Happy savings people, not long to go now as mickey mouse points out. Well done with your pot being ready for use mcjordi!! :T

Where's stunty these days? He on nights?

Well folks, not long now although I've lost track of the counting days thingy.

Puzzled well done on finding all those coins, I managed to get 3 £2 coins in my change today - so Christmas is coming and the pot is getting fat!!!

Have a great holiday, S!

Phil the Pig has survived a house move and I've only just got my Internet connection sorted out. Not long until the big 'opening' day - Phil got quite a few extra morsels over the past week or two, as we found a few pence whilst packing & unpacking boxes

From an 'outsiders' view even I can't wait to see how much you all have saved. Can't wait to join you all on Dec 2nd already have my tin ready to roll!

brummiebabe

Hi all - can I join you all on the 2nd December?

Sounds like a great idea - we do save our change at the moment, but it tends to get dipped into every so often:rolleyes: - so a sealed pot sounds like a great idea - some extra cash for Christmas 2009!!!!!!:eek:

Can I be added to the list please???:D
