I have a money jar too, empty it every few months and usually get about $150:thumbup:

I put mine into money bags, take them to my bank and they exchange them for notes for free. If you go to a bank that you don't have an account with they may charge you 10%.

Come back an hour later, it's counted and deposited into my account! :rofl:

And yes, I trust them!

Same here..well at least I've seen it happen in banks. I don't have a coin jar, wifey does and pays the rates bill with it at the shire office. I refuse to go with her. :D

I've decided I'm going to slap you next time you refer to your wife as 'wifey':frown::sneaky:

My wife doesn't have a problem with being referred to as 'Wifey' here on BE or anywhere else. Is it a bad term? :confused:

For us it's Hubby & Wifey. Nothing wrong with those terms.

I just don't like it. :D He who would like to be obeyed occasionally refers to me as The Wife, err, I have a name darling :frown::lol: Never been called a violent feminist though, not even sure what one is but presumably it's an expression used by someone who has some psychological issues with women.

"The wife" makes me cringe. I hate it. Wifey has become a name of endearment indoors.

But do you have heavy shoes? :D

No, thongs or converse. Do have a couple of pairs of boots, one with hooker heels and one cowboy style, quite light though.

Bernie refers to me as "old timer" (see above) but I never call him "that 12 year old."

We put loose change into one of those big old whisky bottles that used to be in pubs (MIL worked in a raffa club) and when it is about half full sort the coins into bags and put them in the bank. I didn't know the bank would do all the hard work for you- mind you this is Sydney, so it might be different here.
