    Hi guys,

    How is everyone today? Soooooo cold here, been out all day and frozen! Left about 9am (it’s my day off) and it was still -6oc – what is that all about?! Hopefully Siberia will take their weather back pretty smartish.

    Hi mummytogirls. Congrats on another coin whilst shopping. (I hate shopping so that would be a good reason to do it again lol)

    Hello nifty50 pleased with the £2 and ignored the other £18, ha ha ha just the kind of response I’d expect now you part of this little club!:rotfl:

    DBG thank you so much for that. It makes me feel very appreciated so I will continue to answer you all as I do like giving the ‘personal’ touch….:A .and I am glad you are enjoying the forums as I know a few of them can be less than friendly sometimes.:mad: Also, did you manage on this week’s budget? I hope so because those coins like being with your mates in their pot.:D

    Hi SandieD you seem to be doing well! I too am on holiday in May and really looking forward to it already even though it is still months away. Keep up the collection, and sometimes bills come first, so forget that and move forward.

    What a nice mum you have mandz1. No £2s is fine if it is because you had a NSD:j

    Lemonpopsical your mum is good too I see! But oh no for your poor friend. :eek: I hope her foot is getting better now?

    Another for golly1 yippee! Your daughter will be happy. :) And no worries about leaving one for dinner money, needs must sometimes.

    Did you manage a NSD scotmumof3? And does DS2 trust you again yet?!

    Aren’t dreams wonderful Dorsetgirl?:think:

    Fantastic there joyanne

    And how about your NSDs loudmouth? How many did you manage? Big shop day tomorrow, so fingers crossed for £2 discoveries.

    And how is your plastic cup naomin? I hope it isn’t accessible to passers-by? Try your best to hang on to them as you will be much more pleased with your efforts if you have a decent total to pay off your debt. And just keep thinking it is for the future dog fund. Hopefully that will stop you dipping in. :naughty:

    Oh no Lashley82, I’m sorry you didn’t pass. But just think that although it costs more, the extra few lessons will ultimately help to make you a better and safer driver. Hopefully next time you can keep out of the way of other idiot drivers:T

    Come on deeleybopper, a bit of positive thinking there if you please. Some will find their way to you, don’t you fret..............................................................................
    See, read your second and third posts now – what did I tell you!

    Yes Princessdawnie, every little helps. After all if you don’t start off with one, there is no hope you will progress to two. Ah, I also see you now agree with the ‘like buses’ theory!

    Fab savingmonster, you keep that there pot sealed up nice and cosy.

    Not cheating katey1980, just using your initiative. :idea:

    Thanks to you too L2W. And good luck for the Feb collecting.

    Whoop whoop retiredandskint

    Yippee Palema. Pot enjoys food!

    Hurrah pollywollydoodle.

    Enjoy your week away nanto3girls

    Congrats on your first coins of the challenge cakeadoodle. And well done on the MSE pot. My pot is a tall thin one that originally had chocolate chips in it which I obviously had to eat so I could have the pot. Best way to do it I reckon!

    Keep looking sammy246. They will appear.

    Fab total so far Dmouse.

    You too Cyril. Christmas looks more positive if its only Feb and you already have £40 saved.

    As I just said sam247, sometime I know bills (petrol) have to come first. So don’t think that you had to spend it, just concentrate on collecting more. At least the pot was there when you need it. See how useful it is?

    What a nice nice milkman igamogam

    Well done richy23. Adding up fast I see.


    Last but by no means least a fantastical welcome to:

    Cakeadoodle who has been waiting patiently since Sunday for a number.

    Orangefairy who has the method down to a tee already!


    and

    Ournewhouse who is saving for holiday spends

    Welcome to the thread folks. I have added you to the list on post two, so after having a quick read of post one please join in the chat whenever you can and most of all, have fun collecting £2s. :money:

    Have a good rest of the week peeps, see you all soon xx

    I don't seem to be able to find you on the 'members' list on post two. Was wondering if you would both like to be added? Please correct me if I just haven't looked hard enough though! :o

    I'm glad you're feeling appreciated. :) This is definitely the friendliest forum I'm on, so thank you to you, and everyone else! :T

    Yes, I managed on this week's budget thanks, and even had £5.23 left today (with new budget starting tomorrow). Added this money to my pot along with other money left over from previous weeks and am now up to £27.32 saved, £14 worth of which is £2 coins.

    All the £2 coins are off limits so they will definitely stay with their friends in the pot! I am being good. :D

    Got an expensive month this month though... turning 30 a week tomorrow... eeek! Cue lots of dinners and drinks out... March might end up being a case of getting back on the MSE wagon! :rotfl:

    Well done everyone with the £2 coin saving... some of you seem to have huge stashes considering we're only a month down! :shocked:
