  • I'm back, computer died and its taken 4 weeks (and £100) to get back online, but i've carried on saving and my total has now jumped from £68 to a £106 and i've also found £62 in my paypal account from various moneyback sites so i'm going to transfer to the bank then withdraw in £2 coins lol, getting ever closer to our puppy :T

    I haven't received a £2 coin for some time, but I thought I'd update the board. I now have £42, I'm also saving 50p as well.

    Some of my friends & family think I'm weird & can't understand why I get so excited when I get a £2 coin.

    Doesn't stop them passing them on to me though - or in the case of my 18 yr old son selling them on!!

    I can't believe how quickly the amount has grown. Just shows how much spare money I was wasting. Spare money I didn't even know I had!!

    Just booked a holiday in Kefalonia for later in the year & my stash of £2 coins convinced my OH that we can afford it! :cool:

    Another 2 today thanks to my mum. Think I'll bank them once I get to £80 and then it can earn me a bit of interest.

    Just one coin to add so far this weekend.
    There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word which means more to me than any other. That word is England.

    I was telling a friend recently about collecting £2 coins and all the other change I collect and she thought I was a nutter...lol
    I went to the local shop to school to get some change to get the bus home as I only had a £5 note. I bought some chewing gum for 31p and the kind lady gave me back 2 x £2 coins and the rest in 20p's and copper so I ended up walking home from school (3 miles) as I just couldn't bring myself to break into a £2 coin!!!!
    Then on Friday I needed some cough sweets for my sore throat and took a fiver to the shop. The sweets were 55p and I was again given 2 x £2coins and the rest in 20p's and copper. My OH couldnt believe that I put the lot away for saving....his words, not mine "those sweets just cost us a fiver"...he is right but I just cant seem to help myself.
    Is this complete dedication do you think??!!

    ...having just spent three days working in a paybox at our local Steam Fair. People kept handing me £2 coins as part of the payment - I must have had 2-300 these last few days! It was so tempting to swap five for a tenner every now and then... but I resisted! Still at £60.

    Ah well...

    I started saving all my £2 coins a few weeks back and I have been amazed just how many I've got in such a short space of time - £30 :j
    It's such a good idea and I'm hoping to have saved enough for all my Xmas prssies this year :T
