    Id love to join too please. I have a sealed pot for all loose change, so I'm going to add all £2's to that too. Only 1 in there so far.

    It's to go towards credit card debt at the end of 2011.
    I shall not give in to temptation ...

    2 more today! That makes £44. Only £6 short of my goal of £50 for Christmas. So I am going to up it to £100 :)

    Firstly welcome to Shopaholic2 and MissBadcrumble! :wave: Hello. Feel free to join in as much as you can. We ALL get excited whenever we so much as smell a £2 coin so Shopaholic I cannot Believe that your friends scoff!! They wouldn't if they saw the benefit when you open the pot to find what all the lovely £2's add up to :D

    Partlydave I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the count - but wow that was worth it, its adding up well :money:

    Drsqueeze congrats on finding your first coin......off out you go now to find a few more, it defo needs company!

    Linz, Thebees, Coolpaprika and gap things seem to be going well as everyone is finding at least one coin somewhere.

    And lastly Igamogam thats fantastic if you want to up your target. Change your sig to £100, go on you know you want to :rotfl:.

    I haven't got anything to add today, but then I haven't spent any money in the last few days so I guess that is also good :)

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend x

    Agreed :rotfl:

    I'm up to £6 now, got a couple of £2 coins in my change from the petrol station. I have to admit I deliberately made sure I put £26 in the car rather than £30 to increase my chances :p

    Just intuition - nothing is cheating after all they would have given them to someone, just have to try and make sure its you!!!

    Haha! :rotfl::T

    It's got the added advantage that I'm going to see if I can make do with £26 petrol rather than £30, by being a little more economical and walking a bit more - which will help me lose a few of the other kind of pounds :D
