    Just got started on this and from 25th Oct - 1st Jan have collected £20.60! Am amazed how much this is and how little I've tried and how little I've missed the 20p's burning a hole in my pocket.

    Have also got dh and the kids on board - according to dd we are saving up for a loft conversion so she can have a huge room - is going to take a while if we're only using 20ps but it is a target!

    Have just banked another £7.80 in 20p pieces, so that's 85.00 so far this year. Really beginning to add up to something.

    Keep going everyone. We're only half way through the year.
