  • Managed to get another two last night and one this morning. Hope this doesn't happen all the time or I'll have to start spending the little fellas.

    why do u tip someone for doing their job? seriously?

    Will

    I know, but I kinda feel it's expected!! My mum is a hairdresser- and when she worked in salons she was quite poorly paid - the tips really helped! I suppose that's why I do it!!

    Eventually got my first £2 coin yesterday in Woolies but had to resort to asking for it. Next challenge is getting it into the tin before spending it.

  • Mr Wuzie not well - finished small(ish) bottle of laphroaig last night - it came in a sweet little cylindrical container (part of a strange 'golfers' gift at xmas - guess what? - have recycled my jam jar and am now aiming to fill it with my coins. Must keep it away from Mr W as he may be tempted to spend it on single malt! No more £2 coins yet this week - mind you, haven't been spending either.
    Weight loss - here we go again - watch this space!

    US...........And them............
  • up to £12 now, hubby has started to put his in instead of charging me for them so hopefully it will grow even quicker now.
    £2 coin savers club = £288
  • Well it's been a few days since I had any to add to my pot ( I haven't been going out of my way to get them, but am pleased to announce I now have 3 to add! It is great to see the total increase as I add the coins and is an incentive to add to the total; thank for starting this gf!
  • 1 more at last!!!
