Welcome to the £2 Savers Club ready for the start of a brand new year.

I did hear back from Purplemumof2 (who ran the 2011 thread) and she is happy for a new thread to be started in her absence. She does hope to be able to contribute to it at some time in the year.

Soooo…..

The aim is to collect every £2 coin you can lay your hands on! It is entirely up to you whether you want to:
A) Save for a particular length of time e.g. monthly or till December 2012,
B)Save for a particular reason e.g. to pay the car insurance, to pay for a family holiday or to buy birthday presents throughout the year,
C) Save until you have a specific amount e.g. £20 or £100 or a pot full!
D) Save for any other reason you can think of...
You are also welcome to do what you wish with the money. Either bank it as you please or at the end of the year or spend it as required.

Above all else remember this is a fun thread, but the aim of this website is to SAVE, so any encouragement, comments or help you can give to others are always very welcome.

I have compiled a NEW ‘members’ list from everyone who has posted since September 2011 (in no particular order) so please look as you will have a different number to last year! Anyone who wishes to join (or be removed though I hope that isn’t the case!) is always very welcome, please just ask and I will add you as soon as I can. Also if anyone wants to add anything to the list such as a target or a date to aim for etc. then let me know and I will add it. However there is no pressure to do this as many people just wish to be able to save as and when they can.

So that’s it. Start saving, comment regularly and hunt for those £2s. Any questions or comments please ask. This is the first thread I have started so all assistance is welcome. :D
