The tin opening ceremony

[carol0912]

£990 for us plus o/h's £50=£1040 plus £200 in £2 coins.
Been putting £50 a month by each since last year and can't understand the 1040???????
Well chuffed

Don't have a 'tin' as such, just my wife's large piggy bank. We've been saving £2 coins to turn into Lira for the initial day or so.

I've been putting £500 a month into a savings account for a few months and have amassed quite a bit so far, should be quite well off this year. We do have a large BBQ to attend 5 days after we get back and a trip to Plymouth (340 miles away ) for a friends 25th wedding anniversary boat cruise and will need a few hundred quid for that (2 nights in hotel + diesel, food & drinks).
