    Hello to another first-posting newbie
    MSY-moneysavingyoungster

    And a nearly first-posting newbie
    Lisalollipop

    And a very welcome non-newbie
    Katey1980

    Welcome to you all. Hope you enjoy your time with us! I’ve added you to the members list on post two. Have a quick read of post one as well and you are up and away. Hunt those £2s! Oh and Lisa, did you see Lemonpopsical's reply about adding a sig? (post #346) Thanks Lemonpopsical :T

    First £2 is always a blessing Scotmumof3

    Welcome back mummytogirls. Don’t worry about starting ‘late’ as long as you start at some point it will all be worth it in the end. I’ve added your target onto post 2

    Definitely official Nifty50! And it is normal….honest (at least I hope it is?!)

    DizzyBG I know the problem! Hopefully it will just make you think more carefully about how much you REALLY need something. If you do it is still there to spend, but if you don’t then all the better for the pot

    Awww never mind Keys. It will just go to a few places before finding its way back to you, no worries. But meanie taxi driver I’m sure you wouldn’t pick someone up with no change at all??

    Hang on Mandz1. So your mum is paying for your Avon order in £2’s and then wants £2’s back? Can she not pay in £1’s and you give £1’s back??!! If she wants £2’s tell her not to spend them in the first place!! (In the nicest way possible of course as she IS buying your Avon lol:rotfl:)

    Aww no loudmouth. What a shame! (the upside down bit) At least he won’t spend the next one in such a light hearted manner!

    Yippee nanto3girls And dark^knight and tailz03 and hay77 and me (1 in my pot)

    No shame involved chocolatedrinker. He wants them safe in their home doesn’t he?

    I think you need to go on a £2 treasure hunt Dmouse

    Self-service tills are fab for £2s kobrakai
    Beans are very nutritious sams247. Lots of Iron I think.:doh:

    Perfect way to look at it miele. It’s all win win in the end

    Oh no wannabee_in_credit. We need a plan for these situations – any ideas anyone? (DD starving doesn’t count as a legitimate plan….)

    Happy saving people x

    Finally! I finally have a £2 - woohoo!

    I am ignoring the fact that I got it by default (I swapped coins with someone but shh!!!)
  • Hello! Newbie debt free wannabe here... One of my new year's resolution is to be debt free (except car loan and student loan : / ) by the end of 2012.

    I'm up to £6 in £2 coins so far! Can I have a number please?
  • Bought a tin on Ebay to put my shineys in. Can only open it by using a tin opener, so that should calm any temptations to dip into my stash... :)

  • I can't beleeeeeve how slow this is - I'm trying so hard to be frugal that I'm just not spending money :Twhich means I've amassed the grand total of 3 coins.:(.... was given the third today in change at the SM.....looks like our romantic weekend away will be postponed! :angry::angry::angry: (although perhaps I'll have lost some weight by then and it will be even more romantic!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)
