    Is it me or do £2 coins seem to have been wiped off the face of the earth?:confused:

    I'm of the same opinion. although it could just be that I shop on plastic too often, so never get any change. :rotfl:

    I'm still collecting my £2 coins whenever I can but have been dropping them into a sealed pot, so I haven't a clue how many are in there. Last year's got spent on a greenhouse that got wrecked in the winter storms after we moved house. :o This year, I'd like reinforcements for the new greenhouse, so my £2 coins will be released by autumn and, hopefully, work their way to someone on here. Would it be wrong to add a drop of pink nail varnish on each and then you could let me know if you ever got one? :rotfl:
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    That's not such a bad idea, you could then see where they end up and whether or not you ever get one back that you released earlier.

    Okay....I think that I am now losing the plot.

    Sealed Pot Challenge # 007
  • The Bad News - I was tidying the shelves on the bookcase and move my money pot and didn't put it back properly and it fell to the floor scattering coins everywhere :(

    The Good News - I have counted up what was there and in £2 coins alone, we have saved £156 so far :D which I have now bagged up and will bank ASAP

    I need to find somewhere else now to stash the coins :cool:

    Evening all, I've decided to leave to £2 savers club and stick solely to the sealed pot challenge. Goodbye and good luck!
