Perhaps link back to my blog and we will see if we can get a few of us
I have been doing a little experiment of small change that I collect in a week or so.
Now since last payday I have been not spending coins or giving it to the kids or whatever. I have been using the notes that have been in my purse. I try to get money out once a fortnight and make it last but I have run out in my purse today, so only really have the coins that are in my draw in my bedroom where no one but me will go.
I counted last night and I had $73 OMG how can I accumilate that sort of money in less than two weeks.
I am trying to work out if this means I have saved $73 or just used up all my notes, would I have $70 in notes if i had spent these coins. DON"T THINK SO.
I wonder how long I can go without spending it and not telling any of the kids that it is there.
I am trying to be really good with money and any money I spend on myself has to be made first either through my knitting or selling stuff.
I really want to get one of these so will see how I go. Already over 1/2way there. With the rising cost of petrol it would be good for excercise and such. I already have a baby seat on my bike but I don't feel safe with Flynn on the back so don't ride it much.

I like the baby trailer :)
I save my coin for the kids school lunch. They only have a tuckshop here on a Monday.
I'm hopeless with cash and tend to spend that quicker than just using my card. If I have cash it's too easy to just pop into the bakers here and blow $35 on lunches (as I did this week)or pop into the local cafe for lunch.
I am the same Tracy so i am hoping that with me now having nothing in my purse i won't be tempted to pop out for coffee or shout the kids lunch like at hockey this morning.
We will see how the challenge goes.
Ohh, I really want one of those bike trailers too :) We just got some new bikes for the big girls - the trailer is nexxt on our list!
