  • Got two more today, up to £84 now.... dying to bank them, but they are in my terramundi, so I will have to be patient!

    Is it OK to join in please? I registered today but have been lurking for a few days (hope I'm doing this right).

    I've been collecting £2 coins since my birthday in February and have £76 so far, have a lot of debts to shift ASAP and am looking forward to the challenge of paying them off.

    Thanks

  • I got another 6 today. That's me up to an amazing £142. It is easy for me to get them though. My target is £250 for the end of April that will pay for a quarter of the fancy hut, sorry Summer House that we are getting.

    Hi everyone, I'm stuck on the £50 mark but now have a nice, shiney new account for paying them into so that there's no way I can spend them.
    Mind you, the only place I ever get change is when paying cash at the post office, as almost everything else is on cards, but I've told everyone else to watch out for them and, if paying me cash, to try and include a £2 coin. :)
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    Up to today I have £100 of two pound coins in my bank so I am going to free them and use them for housekeeping for the next 2 weeks and maybe a treat or 6 :j Then I will start collecting them again.

    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.
