Yeah just empty my pockets every day with what ever change is in there. That was over about 4 months roughly. Started again now and must have over £100 already. Next lot is for a holiday I think

I stick it all on a pot and then give the smaller denominations to my nephew (he's only 5 so loves it even if it is a handful of coppers) and anything else just gets spent on things that require change with the odd lottery ticket thrown in.

we both empty our wallet and purse at the end of the week. if we've got a few coppers its all goes in. if we've got £100 in notes it goes in.

adds up very very quickly last time we emptied the jars we had £475 after only a couple of months

It's bad enough when a dunked biscuit breaks off and falls to the bottom of my cup, without finding 25p of spare change in the bottom of the cup as well
