    Happy.gifGot another 3 over the past week, only need 2 more to bank another £20 and then that's me hit the magical £100 mark! (umm... except I've spent £80 of these savings already :D )
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    Good on you! :T I wish my DS was more money orientated - I'd love selotaped boxes of money all around his room...:rotfl:

    Learn about money while you're young and like you say, you can remain debt free when you're older... Well done :D

    Don't get many nowadays :cry: as I keep away from the shops so have to re-home those that I find in otherhalves change when I can. However up to £92 so feeling pleased. :j
    Just wanted to say :T well done/congratulations :T to thmaga you should be very proud of yourself - The £2's mount up fast and at your saving rate you will soon double/treble what you have saved already.

    Welcome to NW-ANGEL - rules ! just find a box - tape it up- (with a slot in the top) like thmaga above, or a jar or tin or money box or whatever comes to hand (some people have teramundes (can't spell it but do have one) they are jars that you can't open so you can't get at the money inside unless you have a lot of patience and a large flat palet knife to slide them out -then just pop your precious £2 coins in and lets us all know how your doing - as simple as that - its very addictive. I got to Happy.gif£400 Happy.gifin my terumundi and then had to empty it as I could not squeeze any more in a nice little bundle :rotfl:

    Can I join? I'm brand new!
    I started saving £2 coins just before Easter because I wanted to treat myself to a new purse as my old one was looking a bit ratty. By May I'd saved £40, banked it and bought myself a lovely Radley purse that should last me for years!
    I started saving them again but since May I've only found £6! It's a bit slow! I'm going to use them for a "Fun Fund" - in other words, all those things you want but can't really afford! This way I can justify them more! It would be for things like days out and concert tickets really.
    Because it's fun to have money!

  • Hello everyone

    Gosh I may have to get myself one of those terramundi things or at least a bigger pot, I think my little glass pot may be too small! - I didnt get any 2 pounds for ages and then today I got 3! brings my total to £8

    Heres to many more for all of us!

    Evening all,

    now up to £18 as managed to collect another 4 on holiday - at the moment they are looking rather lonely in the giant jar I have optimistically put them in!
