I’m loving Vernon but me I have to have it a jar or tim or several tins. I have to count it bag it and feel that I’ve done something. My virtual piggy was easy to put into but with the app on my phone to easy to withdraw out of. I don’t put anything bigger than a £1 in the tin so I have to tip I’m out go to the bank and change it to notes. I need barriers 🤣DF by 2023 No 17 £1,644 /£6000 Total debt £18,000 at the start of DFW Journey. 201814TH JULY 2021 DEBT FREE now in control365 1p challenge No 491

I'm sure elsiepac will be along soon to add you, Hurdler - stick with us!
I used sealed tins in 2019 and put in the exact change every day from my spare change pots or my purse but last year and this year I have gone virtual. I liked saving cash and I LOVE a sealed tin and still have many on the go for various funds, but especially in this rubbish time in which we have found ourselves, there just doesn't seem to be much cash out there anymore. I hope cash doesn't disappear, I love collecting my coins and popping them into my tins!xxx
