  • Ive got £92 so far, woo hoo! I teach dance so when my students give me £2 coins, i swap them for notes in my purse (OH said thats cheating but i dont care!) I was going to bank them when i got to £50 but havent been able to take them out of the jar! I keep them in a crisis ceramic jar that i got off ebay, i really want to fill it but i reckon it would take me forever! Good thing im saving 5s, 10s, 20s (banked £17 last week) 50s and £1s too! :-)

  • I think we are all so busy squirreling away £2 that there aren't enough left in circulation for me to add to my tally. It's over a week now since I had one in my change and as I plan a no spend day today my total isn't likely to increase today either. It's almost enough to tempt me to go shopping ........;)
  • Another one for me - up to £20 and then I set them free in the bank!
