    Paid the paper bill and got one in my change! :D
    Pity the paper bill had got so big before I paid it :o
    If you can't take responsibility for it, you'll always be a victim.

    Another one for me in the change I got at the dentist. Getting ever closer to cashing in the beastie... :)

  • Hi, can I join please?

    I've been saving my £2's since January, in one of those sealed tins from poundland, it feels heavy but my guess is it is probably only about a quarter full :rotfl:

    I wanted to open it, count them and put them back in a new tin but my OH says that's cheating and not allowed...

    Expensive night last night in the pub as we ended up putting 6 of the wee shiny devils into the Mad Catter :D

    6?!?! I very rarely get more than 2, but on the odd occasion it does happen I don't seem to get anymore for weeks afterwards...

    You've been saving roughly the same amount of time as me, any idea how much you've got in the Mad Catter?!

    Well it wasn't just good luck! I had garnered two during the day, and my fiance one, and then we got another 3 in the evening....but then I've nobbled the bar staff in our local pub :D If they have £2 coins...and our change is enough...they give them to us! Simples! Although, as you can see, it gets a tad expensive sometimes :cool:

    You know I have no idea what's in the Mad Catter's belly! We're up to his neck now though, so not long before we can empty him out. I wouldn't be surprised if there's about £200 in there though...here's hoping! :D
