I’m been seriously drawing a blank with anything to write recently. A serious blank. But at least it’s not a blank large enough to make me quit (*nudge nudge those who’ve quit*).

So I’ve decided to run a little contest for people – or at least those who actually read this…

At with most people I tend to acquire a bunch load of small change from the shops, which gets gathered together at home and eventually – and I mean eventually – gets changed into proper, more usable forms of money. Right now I’m using a ziploc bag in my room to hold my change until the time comes.

So here’s the contest. See that bag? Guess how much is there. The bag is about two-thirds full, and filled only with coppers – 1c, 2c and 5c. At some point in the future I will either get it changed into proper cash, or I’ll set aside an hour or two and tediously go through it myself so that I have some highlight of my day to talk about.

I don’t know myself how much is there. Could be very little (although that’s not very likely given the sheer amount of coins in it), or it could be a lot. Since I’ve nothing better to offer, whoever guesses closest to the actual amount in there when I get it changed – and bear in mind, I could still add my day to day coppers to it between now and then – gets the total donated to a charity of their choice.
As long as I can do it online.

So ummm, go nuts!
