  • Got 3 £2 coins in my change this morning :D

    Well I actually only got 2, but my sister got one but was happy to exchange it for a couple of pound coins :p

    Good Afternoon sealed pot gang,
    Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas, and received everything you wanted from "your Santa". DW and I have had a good few days together, but she's back atwork today looking after you shoppers lol. Quite a few coins into my celebrations tin over the last couple of days. Also quite a few "Road change" coins into my other pot. Unfortunately no £2 coins this week.

    Will cath up with everyone later or tomorrow, keep safe and keep saving.

    Pop me a number on please! Two 50p's from my drawer put in today (post Xmas office clear-out!) so making a start today! No target for me, just want to have a cushion for Xmas and if my other Xmas fund and savings chalenges go well then it'll be into savings as I currently have none!

  • Hello all!!

    My poor Bertie Bassett and my Terramundi have been a bit neglected the last couple of days! So today Bertie has had a handful of coppers and (because I was feeling guilty) a 50p and my terramundi has had a couple of heavier clunks!
