    Can I join too please :D I already collect 1p,2p,5p,10p & 20p in the 2foot coke money box we have, when thats full we promised to take the children camping, (could take some time) but I'd love to join the £2 club aswell & I'll use my eeyore money box. I'll have to set a target for what the money can be used for when its full. After searching my purse I dont have anything to start it with yet, but I'll put all future ones I receive aside.

    hugs

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I was going to buy a money box but then my hubby took a large glass jar that had pickled eggs in it and he cut a hole in the lid and glued the top on it, so i have to smash it to get my money.

    Last summer i had £400 in it and it was still not half full.
    I was going to write in with that idea glad you beat me to it. As MSE should we be buying terrimundis or the such like I think it weaken the idea. I use a very large ginger jar which I brought from a charity shop just befor Christmas as I have alway saved my £2.00. By the way I have exactly £100. saved so far

  • I got a pickled onion jar from Netto so i enjoyed the onions, washed it up, MR HQ cut a slot in the lid then we sealed it up with electrical tape and signed it!!
    However for the £2 coins if you think that in last 12 months i earnt nearly £38 on mine in interest its worth putting them in an account regulalry, the onion pot is for loose change.

    i dont think it matters what you save the money in, its the saving it that counts. personally i liked the idea of a terramundi. after all its a beautiful piece of pottery, which once opened can be used to hold a plant or candle, so a multitasking item appealed to me. plus ive just had my kitchen redecorated and i chose one which looks lovely pride of place on my pine dresser and matches the rest of the kitchen.

    Only when the last tree has died,the last river has been poisoned,and the last fish has been caught,

    Me too please... none so far but am trying hard!

    Emptied my loose change jar last night and I had £133 in there... very chuffed
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
  • Yay! :j My first £2 coin!
