Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Been saving in my tin since we came back from Icmeler in August last year, going to open it tomorrow , cant get any more in. Going to Altinkum on the 14th August for 2 weeks with the family, but coming back to Icmeler 23rd Sept with hubby for a week, fell in love with the place last year on our first visit.

Wahay just opened ours.

1 tin notes = £1100.00

1 Tin pound coins = £96.00

1 Tin small change = £65.00

big suprise for me only estimated £500.00 amazing how it builds up over 8 months and how you forget how much you really pop in.

Away on monday ........its been a long wait but its worth it.

Well done bighands, ive been saving £2, £1 and 50p coins in one tin and notes in another, keeping the notes tin till we go to Icmeler. Have a great holiday,.

After reading this thread I started one in July - £1.00 per day + any £2.00 coins, feeling quite heavy already

Thank you sunny lady and have a cracker yourself.

We have just counted our money jar and tin for the October holiday,

Big whisky jar - £130 which was a mixture of 5p's, 10p's, 20p's and coppers.
Tin held £285 notes, and £180 was a mixture of £2 coins and 50p pieces.

We dont go out of our way to get £2 coins, but when we do get them we never spend them. We also put the winnings from the lottery into the tin too.

This has been saved from January this year.

A total of £595 towards our next holiday in 3 weeks

I so love this topic so I thought i would resurrect it for all the newbies(I hate that expression)and those who are lucky enough to be heading of on their holiday soon.Unfortunately i still have a good few weeks to go before I can open my tins but they are getting really heavy How is everyone elses tins coming along

Oh mines slow starting I'm afraid but still have another 11 weeks to go so I'll have to put a £1 a day away ha ha

Mine was full by Xmas,£200,decided to treat the 3 grandchildren with it,saving up again now

Dont use a tin, but my wife is magic at hiding money in envelopes all over the house, always saves enough for our "spends" .Rog.

Our tin is for airport spends and is getting heavy. Hoping for a nice surprise when we open it in june.

We keep our tin for the second trip to Paradise, the adults only one. Have one that reads how much is in it to date we have £385 that means lots of Efes

I've got two tins this year - one which is for £2 and £1 coins, and the other for 50p and 20p. Both are feeling pretty heavy, so I'm looking forward to opening them in about 4 weeks time. Will post the results.

How is everyones savings going?Dotty have you opened yours yet,as I notice you are going soon.

I am tempted to open mine to pay for next years flights which I booked this week.

I save mine for our trip in September, it's starting to feel quite heavy

Opened ours this morning, including the copper jar, we had a total of £481. Well pleased with that, I never thought there would be as much as that in them.
