Always wanted to make one and see how much I could save in a month, £1 a swear word I would charge but £2 for use if the c word.

Have you got one? :D

    Nope, though speaking of swearing, does anyone else just love the phrase 'get to f**k'? It's brilliant! :D

    Do people genuinely use them? it could fill up quickly, depending on how strict you are. I remember being told off for saying bloody once but I don't really think of that as a swear word, or certainly not a strong one.

    In my old office when I fell pregnant my boss decided to invest in one to stop me swearing when the baby came along (just as a bit of a joke). For a while anytime one of us swore we put 20p in. It filled up pretty quick but in the end one of us would end up taking out change for the vending machine so it didn't last long :D

    You'd have to ask my primary school head mistress (lol). I'm not keen on constant heavy use of strong expletives but using the ocassional swear word really doesn't bother me.

    Yes, I do. It was set up by my daughter, who was tired of overhearing me swearing.

    I actually do make an effort not to swear in my children's presence, but they have sharp hearing. I usually swear on phone in my office upstairs, to colleagues who swear as well.

    I put the money in each time I swear, even when the kids aren't in the house. £1 per swear word.

    She donates the money to a charity, which is why I don't mind the swear box. It's helped me to cut down my swearing, too. Last month cost me £18. The month before was £21 and before that, £34.

    Compare those with the first month almost a year and half ago: £202. Embarrassing, but I'm improving all the time.

    I only swear when I'm writing software. I tend to do that, on average, about 5 hours a day. I'd be skint if work had a swear box.
