  • The shop assistant in Boots actually apologised that she had to give me £2 coins as she didnt have a £5 note. Almost bit her hand off. Another 2 for the piggy bank!

    I was at the post office this morning posting ebay stuff and the cashier was going to give me £4 in pound coins, but I spotted he had £2 coins and asked for one of those... It was my first time asking for a £2 coin, I feel enlightened and almost like it was a christening into the club proper-like :D;)

    Although not enlightened enough to accept the £2 x 2 he was goign to give me - can't save that much in one go..
