    Hi all

    I've stumbled across this forum and have decided to also save my 20p coins. Have delved into the depths of my purse and found £1.40, so that's a good start. It will be interesting to see how much I can save by New Years Eve!

    Hello, please can I join? I have saved up £2.20 so far. I haven't decided what I'm saving for yet, or how much I'm aiming for. I think I want to buy something frivolous with it when I have enough, like a new top or some make up.

    can I just ask where the best place to change this money is? I have a jar of just random coins and don't want to use a coinstar machine as they charge. My bank will only accept 5 bags at a time and that would take me weeks to do!

    Anything free would be good. I reckon I have a few hundred quid so the percentage a coinstar machine takes would be a bit of money!

    Cheers
    This is WAY more fun than monopoly.

    I have been saving 20Ps, but forgot to post my results here! Ah, well - I've updated my sig accordingly, but I'm up to £13.80 now. :D
