    I'm up to £104 now WOOHOO!

    I find myself asking for a £2 in any change I get...does anyone else get strange looks when doing this?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    So much for my sofa - I've just used most of my savings to buy a caravan :rolleyes:. Left £100 in the account as a 'fall back'. The sofa is now going to have to wait - french doors first :p.

    My local post office counter gives me them in change without my asking now, as I told them about my joining this challenge a few months ago :D

    I've just booked a trip to london with my friends in May, so my £2 coins will be going towards that! Got another one this morning :)

    Got one this week and that's all! We don't normally ask for £2 coins because part of the excitement is the anticipation of waiting to check the change to see if you've been given one!!:D

    As we are doing all our food shopping with cash nowadays we can't understand why we aren't getting more coins?!:confused:
