    Hi there peeps- just wondering where I'd post as I save all my lovely £2 coins (and 50p's too) in a 'sealed' pot (it's not sealed at all- but I don't look in it and I don't filch out of it...yet!!)- am I just confusing the issue!!?
    Putting them all into a lovely (very tall) Hobgoblin 'Beer and Glass Gift' tin- I guesstimate that when fulls of said £2 and 50p's I'll have enough to buy a small Island in the Carribean- it really is that big a tin!! Want to be able to give it to my hubby on Christmas day and just say 'have fun with it'- makes me smile just thinking about it and positively euphoric when given the coins (but at the same time skint ;-)
    Who knew saving could be such fun??
  • Hi sheba,

    Nice to see you over on this thread, added you to the list.

    I like your idea for your OH for Christmas.

    Happy saving :)

    well i went through my daughters money boxes and they had enough to make a roll of €50. so they gladly took my paper money off me.

    i have now rolled up the €50 and it is tucked away in my biscuit tin with all my other little rolls of brass.

    i have now sealed a drinking chocolate pot - it is only a small one so i will know when i have enough to break it open.

    i have just added another 3 coins
