    Just got my first £2 :j

    Was getting so desperate to find one that I asked a colleague if she had one that she could swap for 2 x £1. How sad is that?!

    I was on the tills at work yesterday - there's loads in there! This only happens if we're short-staffed and the first time since I've started collecting them. Makes a nice change for me as it makes quite a sociable evening and time passes quickly so I can get back on this site when everyones gone to bed to catch up on the evenings postings! Lucky I left my wallet at home as the temptation to swap some coinage for a few would have been huge. Would that be cheating? We don't give too many in change though as they are not very popular :laugh: I don't understand it myself *reformed character* :A lol
  • Woo hooo - got 2 £2 coins at lunchtime so I'm officially joining the £2 savers club! Going to put them towards school holiday treats!
    I've learnt that life isnt about what you have it's about who have.:T

    Woohoo I have got my first £2 coin I'm so pleased :dance: . Not sure how much I have though I will add it all up a bit later as I just kept adding coins of late and didn't keep track of it.

    Yeah! Got my weekly coin in change at the hospital (bought a cuppa cos of long wait to see doc). BUT my hospital has now put up it's parking charges - £2!! everyone pays, even the disabled! Disgusting or what? Put in two £1 coins, not my PRECIOUS! This is near Crewe. What are hospital parking charges like around the rest of the country?

    Can I join as well.

    I'm afraid I cheated by changing 4 x £1 for 2 x £2 in the petty cash at work. :rotfl:

    Is anyone short of £2 coins, then this may be easier for some, join the 20p savings club.

    My OH has been laughing at how excited I am when I get a £2 coin. I asked him if I could give him 2x £1 for the one he had and he had the cheek to ask for £2.50! After teasing me with it for 2 days (I refused his extortionate exchange rate) he gave it to me today for nothing...who's laughing now
    Holiday Savings = £270.00
    Credit Card = -£903.41
