Piggy Banks

[Georgiesmum]

Piggy banks/money boxes indoors used to very popular. Do you still use one, or are they just a thing of the past?

[boxtops]

Still very much alive and grunting in our house - different ones for different purposes!

My children all have one each, unfortunately three are the same design but different colours. We also have a big, plastic bottle for the holiday fund.

[boxtops]

How was your holiday, sher? ('scuse me, GM)

[Sam1960]

(Boxtops, it was fabulous but hard work! Knackered today as we have been up since 7.30 yesterday and I only dozed a bit in the car from Gatwick. Really long days, baking hot and loads of lovely food - I've never eaten so much! - thank you for asking.)

Mine is a Tigger one rather than a piggy - all four Grandchildren have them.

No piggy bank but charity box for pennies and tuppences.

On a Sunday night, once the weekend is finished, I put all left over cash under a certain denomination into a secure place, as the next weeks allowance will be drawn on Monday morning.
To be honest, when I say secure place I actually mean down the back of the Settee, I mean it's gotta be safe, no-one's gonna look in the front garden for it, are they?

[boxtops]

I'll be round with me shovel, balders :-)

[Butterbun]

Large coffee jar for coppers, which when full (or nearly) is given to the charity shop. You'd be surprised how much it can hold.

[marval]

I have a tatty teddy one, just for copper and silver change.

[Baldric]

The Settee's not buried Boxy!

[beattie819]

sorry I am slightly inebriated, due to spending contents of sealed tin

[gness]

I collect two pound coins in a glass handbag......used to give it to the daughter to help her out when she was at uni ......now I spend it more wisely on shooze and booze.....☻

[paddywak]

We've three but not piggies, we each have a tin you need a can opener for for two pound coins,I use mine for the up front payment on my new motability car,Trish users hers for anything she fancies.The other is a big bottle for change which we use to pay for holidays or special treats.

[catswhiskas]

We keep all our small change, and about once year put it in those change machines they have at the supermarket , and get a tidy sum off the shopping.
