    Thats great Serena.

    I have forgiven her afterall she didn't know so she didn't do it on purpose. Still it did hurt LOL

    I realised today that if i really wanted i could pay one of my CC monthly repayments just using the £2's i have saved, money i would normally just shove back in my purse or in a pot to be then mislaid, gave me great motivation to keep going.

    OH was particularly cruel yesterday - delighting in telling me he had been spending his £2 coins! He was muttering something about not wanting to break into a note, so he HAD to spend it! :mad:

    However he did give me a coin today, so I suppose he is forgiven! :)

    Hi all - I have finally added funds to my £2 club - £4 in total... hooray! But the coins are still 'naked' with no vessel, so I will place them in a jar for now to keep them from tempting us!

    I also started doing 'Online Odds & Sods' which is my term for when I am online banking, transferring any 'odds & sods' amounts into my saving - last night as my balance was £422.42 I transferred £2.42 to savings. It doesn't seem much right now but if I do it a couple of times a week, it's something ;o)

    That way is quite painless too, whereas sometimes placing £1 or £2 into a pot may be harder, but I'll be doing both in earnest now.

    I'm quite proud of myself as in 2 days that's £6.42, with help from OH!

    2 more this morning. I love Morrisons, they always give me £2 coins in my change.
    There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word which means more to me than any other. That word is England.

    2 more today - hooray!

    Have to say I'm feeling a little unmotivated today when I look at my goal!

    I don't have any credit or store cards so I am lucky like that. I have an interest free loan from my employers that gets paid off at £170 per month until November 2009 but I feel like screaming!!!

    2009 is so long away!
    Saving for a deposit on a house!!! :www: :cry: :laugh: :question:

    I'll get there eventually but hell may be starting to freeze by then!!!!! :confused:

    Overall savings
    ISA = £213
    Regular Saver 1 = £100
    Regular Saver 2 = £1000
    Other saver = £1,115
    Piggy Bank = £39

    Total = £2,521


    Goal = £15,000 by February 2009 by the time I'm 35!!
    Left = £12,479
