    TheBees have done our 3 monthly count and disappointingly there was only £94 in the Puffin!! I say disappointingly because I was aiming for £100 and from January to March we collected exactly £94 too. How weird is that... exactly the same amount! :rotfl:
    So that's another £94 towards the Pay off the mortgage account to be used for the capital repayment at the end of the year.
    Haven't seen any £2 coins for weeks...:mad:

    I have decided to also start saving 5p coins as I'm just sick of them rolling out of the side of my purse! I'm too MSE to buy a new one, so the 5p coins will have to settle into their new piggy bank home for now!

    I'm still here, still saving £2 coins wherever and whenever I can. I just don't get around to posting very much on here, sorry :)
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

  • Hi everyone,

    You are all doing fantastically well.

    I got another two this morning from the post office so they have been hidden away.

    Keep going you're doing great.

    Off to work now...but when I get home, I'm going to open my tin as it's full :D:D:D

    Back later to update on how much I've got and how many little darlings are being released back into the wild.

    I'm starting to really think there are less £2 coins in circulation. I bought something worth 90p today with a £10 note and they lady said sorry I've just handed over the last £5 note, so I thought great, here come some more for the tin - but I was given nine £1 coins!

    After going on holiday I seem to have wandered back in to a £2 coin drought, am hoping some more will start to turn up soon.
