  • I don't believe my luck...managed to pick up 3 today! My total is £36 now, which I can't believe, there must be a glut of them here. I'm looking at my target of £1000 and was thinking I'll be lucky to get to £150 by the end of the year.I only need another 482coins in 357 days....can it be done?

    i got one yesterday. went in a few shops hoping to get some in my change even asked for them but no luck they seem to be rare round here.
  • I'm going to start getting hate mail....my hubby and I got another 4 last night. It was a blue moon last night and my hubby and I got a babysitter. We haven't been out in ages so we went to see a local band play. My hubby was in charge of the money and the beer buying as per normal. I think he told the bloke behind the bar he'd be on a promise if he got a couple of £2s. The boy done good and got another 4 for the jar. That's a total of 7 in one day.


    Has anyone ever beat it? There's a mini challenge if anyone's up for it.

    When I set my target, I thought I'd be lucky to get to £150. The last few days have been a great success so my total is adding up nicely. I told my hubby this morning that I wanted £1000 in the next year. He laughed a lot....grrrrrrr:mad: He told me I'd never do it, so I'm out to prove him wrong. 22 down 478 yet to find. I think I'm going to suggest he matches what I find:rolleyes: and I'm sure he'll be in for a shock.

    Good Luck PammyJ!
