  • Wow - This sounds quite exciting. MAy I join in please?
    I've been saving loose change for a while, but kept spending it, but since I have moved into a new place Im determined to give it a go - and I already have 2 £2 coins in my purse!

    Good luck for 2008!

    I have been umming and arring about trying this challenge as all my spare change goes into a spare pot which gets used to fund my float for the business. But seeing as £2 coins aren't a necessity I figured I can play a separate game for them and join in this challenge.
    So can I be added to the list please. I will bank it every time I get £20 worth and will aim for £120 for the year. I dont spend much cash so dont often get any £2 coins.

    welcome to the forum vbeardmore.
  • I think this is an awesome idea, may I play too please? I would love to think I could save a big chunk of cash toward my husbands visa cost (£750:eek: ) which is due this Dec, not the best time of year for such a large sum, but I will be determined to shift as much of my debt and pending payments as best I can in '08!

    I did this before, and spent my savings, but I'm going to start again. I don't think I'll aim for anything, other than don't open the pot!!

    I can never think of anything I want from my parents for Xmas, so for Next Xmas, I've suggested they save a certain amount of £2 coins (whatever they think) for me, so I can add to my total. I know it's not an original idea, but we won't have the normal question in December!!!

    All my £2 coins are being put towards a new kitchen
