If I need change for DDs bus fare or lunch money I take it out of the change tin and I keep a note of it and then when I put it back in I round it up to the nearest £. That way I have to pay a penalty for taking it out.

My thoughts exactly! I got a few junky bits for Xmas I might put on there, but if I know I won't get much out of it I always think, is it really worth doing??

 

[bex7583]

i put some loose change in my jar but also took £3.60 out for dinner money

 

[saddler andy]

Just checked my savings;
