    Morning all,
    24p to the jar today #18
    hope everyone is having a good day 😀
  • Yay thanks @elsiepac! :smiley: Just transferred £3.00 in, to bring me up to date as of 24 Jan. :smile: No.36!

    I love that - 'doesn't do change'! Well, we do! Popped into Mr. T today and paid on the self-service till and the person before me clearly 'didn't do change' either - 10 pennies for me, yay! 

    I think the banks still give out the money bags. If I remember rightly, it's £20 in £2s and £1s, £10 in 50ps and 20ps, £5 in 10ps and 5ps, and £1 in 2ps and 1ps. As a big fan of the sealed money tins, I've filled many a little money bag!

    :D Kids eh?!!
    Thanks for the come back on the bank bags. Now just need to get some!
