Saving for Xmas 2017 - A pound a day

Ellieseleven · 16 February 2017 at 11:25AM

Hello,

Totals all updated where requested;)

I'm wondering how to convert my old ££'s when the new ones are released? I keep my ££'s in a tin so might have to swap them over to a new tin when the new coins are released:huh:

In the meantime, some great totals as usual from us all:cool:

Morning everyone,

As Jo Blogs has reminded us, we do need to remember that the old £1 coins will cease to be legal tender in October.

"Everyone with a piggybank or coin jar needs to turn them up upside down and shake out all your £1 coins, because as of 15 October the current £1 coins will cease to be legal tender and will soon be un-spendable. They are being replaced with new 12-sided £1 coins from next month and by 15 October, shops will no longer accept the old pound coins."

But the banks will so really no reason to panic, I took in £1000 in old £20, £10 and £5 yesterday, years after they were removed circulation.

One of the three TCB's now confirmed and a friend request submitted which will hopefully boost my total shortly.

No 3: £116 / £650

Haven't been able to get on here for a while but I'm still saving!

#66: £50/£365

Now I need to find a new tin to put my money in as I've to change the £1 coins I've been putting in:mad: Not a happy bunny as it is one of those ones you have to break to open and I refuse to buy another one to put new money in

I wish I'd known about all this before I'd started as I wouldn't have put in coins at the start:mad:

Hi there
Sorry I've been absent for a while but it's great to see all the saving. I've got a little ahead of myself and have now put aside the whole £28 for February, so that makes me:

#40. £90 / £365

Take care everyone. Miss DM
