    I have a confession to make - I know I left the challenge because 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:

    Since the above post, I got up to £62 but am now back down to £16 because I bought a greenhouse! It's 10' long and it is going to be my summer retreat in the garden this year, waiting for my tomatoes to grow. It cost me a whopping great £45.99 including P&P via eBay and it's due to arrive on Monday. :j Just thought you would like to know that it does help to stash some cash, even if it takes you months. :D Keep on saving those £2 coins!
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

  • Can I join the club?

    I've been saving £2 coins for a while now (as well as 50p). Original plan was to save them for holiday spending money, then forgot to take them! I've saved about £120 so far. Got a freebee to Pontins in June so will take some there!!
