suprising how much it all adds up to really.

I think Roneo Tesco still has a machine in there, charges you a little bit I think but not sure how much.
If you can be bothered to count them yourself but them in money bags and take them to the bank

Ive got a couple £100 I think in a big bag in my room. Tend to chuck all my change on the side out my pockets when I get in then never take it out again as hate having change in my pockets - so it has quids and everything mixed in.

The machines normally take 7.5-8p per £.
Suits me because I used to hate standing in a queue all day at the bank then having the burning eyes of a pensioner (who can't use the paying in machine for 10 fucking pounds), burning into your back

I might do it this afternoon. Part of it all is bagged up already after I last counted it so wont be a massive job.

buying that would mean you will have spent all your spare change before you have even started

That seems a bit shit as it runs on batteries so it actually costs more money to run than on a plug.

I've just counted what was in my pot. Got about £160 in there. Theres a mix of everything in there 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 but only one £2 coin!
Isn't their many £2 coin's around. Not had that many this year!
