    Hello, can I join please?
    I have only just discovered this thread, but had been saving £2 coins anyway, got £60 stashed away, keeping it for holiday in the summer.
    I've even got the kids handing over their £2 coins (in exchange for other coins obviously), they think I'm mad! :j

    We use ours for holidays too! Up to £132 now!
    I'm tempted not to use it for Center Parcs in June because we just got £300 back from Atlantic for overpaying gas & lecky so might use that instead.

    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.

    I have a confession to make - I know I left the challenge bcause I don't see that much cash (all plastic here nowadays) and ran out of space in my signature, but I can't bring myself to spend any £2 coins on the ocassions that I do get them! So, despite having banked what I had saved so far and called it a day, my head is still counting them! I've got to £56 this year, so far, because of 2 more over the past week. :rotfl:
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.
