    One coin from yesterday. I tried to get some £2 coins in my change at Slimming World but the lady on the till collects them herself so beat me to it!

    I also made the bold decision to use my gorgeous terramundi pot to save them in. I have had this a year and haven't used it yet as I don't want to have to break it :D

    Speaking from experience let me tell you an evening spent with a ruler, a butter knife and much patience can get all the money out of a terramundi without the need of a smash! Mind you, I enjoy the whole 'lets break it open' thing :)

    One for me this week as I've tried to have as many NSD as I can and live from the freezer/cupboards.

            A Darwin one for me! :j So that brings me to £18.00.

            And as for the terramundi break-ins - I used a corkscrew to drill into the bottom of mine and have then taped up the bottom to reuse it! Sooo :money::D
            2019 will be my year!!

            My sister had yet another coin for me yesterday and I finally got a couple of my own today :j

            My piggy bank is now full so I'm going to have to work on finding a new home for them, before I'm tempted to spend them :rotfl:

            I'd let him out on his own to do the shopping AND he got back safely AND he put my £2 coins in my tin (notice how they are my £2 coins even though they were change from notes out of his pocket) :o
