£2 savers club part 2
Comments

I succeeded in reaching £80 (so far) this year, which is far beyond my expectations when we still have 7 months to go, except... umm, I've only got £10 left now - but the garden is looking much better and it'll save me a fortune on veggies this year.
Ha ha, but that's the whole point isn't it, enjoy your veg and your garden and remember that at least you didn't have to take £70 out of your normal budget!

My thoughts exactly!
I didn't even need to take it out my longterm 'garden & livestock' fund, which is what my quit smoking money is for, eventually. Those precious little £2 coins allow me a practice run but also curb any rash spending. It still doesn't beat the caravan someone got, though! That's what really inspired me to keep going even although I hardly ever get £2 coins in my change. I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

I know what you mean, if you get something from it, it makes it all worthwhile. I need new hall, stairs and landing carpet plus two bedrooms so I am saving towards that at the moment... got a way to go yet, fingers crossed!LBM April 2013 - £29,000.00Vanquis CC's PAID - Debenhams SC PAID - A+L OD PAID - Asda CC £783.75Barclaycard CC £1400.78 - BoS CC PAID - Freemans Cat PAIDF/D Loan & CC £1458.96 - Santander Loan PAID - Mum Loan PAIDRBS OD PAID - F/D OD £1026.52Weekly Grocery Challenge - £95.00 budget / spend £-0 -
Had to pay window cleaner £6
BUT he gave me a £2 coin in my change 0 -
Well, not going to get my carpet at this rate!
Had to use £50 of my savings towards hubby's new motorbike - he's going to use that to get to work to save money on fuel bills - still, I suppose it wasn't wasted - so down to £6 at the moment.... :sad:
Ohh, just been told by hubby that he has £12 of it left...:j :jLBM April 2013 - £29,000.00Vanquis CC's PAID - Debenhams SC PAID - A+L OD PAID - Asda CC £783.75Barclaycard CC £1400.78 - BoS CC PAID - Freemans Cat PAIDF/D Loan & CC £1458.96 - Santander Loan PAID - Mum Loan PAIDRBS OD PAID - F/D OD £1026.52Weekly Grocery Challenge - £95.00 budget / spend £-0 -
Excuse me if I am stupid, but is this a scheme to save £2 coins whenever you receive them? And if so, where can I get a sealed can, and when can I join the club?LBM £18463.32 in debt 10th June 2008,£12470.99 in debt 10th June 2009.:jTime flies like an arrow.

Hi there,
I'm new here too, but yes, it is to save £2 coins whenever you get them, you'll be amazed at how they add up!
I haven't got a sealed pot for mine - I actually hide them in a vase in my cupboard as no-one ever goes there so I know they are safe (I don't get any flowers, boo hoo! ) and then I can also count them now and again - they're very shiny little preciouses... :rotfl:
Good luck, here's to many more £2 coinsLBM April 2013 - £29,000.00Vanquis CC's PAID - Debenhams SC PAID - A+L OD PAID - Asda CC £783.75Barclaycard CC £1400.78 - BoS CC PAID - Freemans Cat PAIDF/D Loan & CC £1458.96 - Santander Loan PAID - Mum Loan PAIDRBS OD PAID - F/D OD £1026.52Weekly Grocery Challenge - £95.00 budget / spend £-0 -

Hi all - I managed to bank another £20 on Thursday & just got round to updating, but it won't be long before I can bank again - yay!
