    Happy Sunday peeps.

    More coin collection congratulations to orange fairy, joyanne, syms, mandz1, polly wolly doodle, welshone27, and linzight :money:

    NSD congrats to scotmumof3! I think you need a ploy for DS2. How old is he? Maybe suggest he collects 50ps or £1s instead as there will be lots more of them (hint hint;)) and then YOU get all the £2s. :p

    Sounds like you need NSD congrats too sams247

    £70 is good going lemonpopsical and you too Cyril :T

    Thanks for the kind words Naomim – you all make it what it is – a lovely place to be :D. Definitely need coffee in this cold cold weather. Hopefully it is going to warm up a bit now.

    Thank you too loudmouth. A break is always good. Doesn’t matter if it is 20miles down the road; away from home is what matters. Hope you have a good time.

    Hi Nanto3girls – did you not get any on holiday? Yippee for yesterdays!

    Ifmypennieswerepounds it doesn’t matter how full the pot is, it’s the fab jingly sound it makes when you shake it that matters!:T Keep searching.

    Forgot lashley? What is the world coming to…. And I think you must have been giving out the twos to the wrong people. Now if you see an orangefairy walking up the street, get a £2 and call out, I’m sure you will get fairy kisses too!!!

    Wow loveabargain, that was worth being thirsty for!! And thanks for your lovely words too, I enjoy doing this and love talking to you all. :beer:

    Orangefairy (again, you are getting lots of mentions today!) you do not need to ever break the fab terramundi. The idea is to get a knife or something similar to put through the hole to help slide the coins out. Takes a bit or patience but I am assured from other threads on here that it works a treat. Terramundis are way too beautiful to smash unless you really really want to (aptly pointed out by sams247 too)

    Your technique sounds fun kayleighpea! And it didn’t crack at all?

    Hang on blackcat I’m sure that isn’t fair! Maybe they can be hers one week, and yours the next!

    Deeleybopper don’t sound so down. £2 in a week is seriously good going generally. Remind yourself of your own sig – Taking positive steps forward. :money:

    £24 is atrocious alwaysthebusybee. Hopefully you can keep the money this time.

    Piggy hunting is almost as fun as £2 hunting joyce63. Let us know/show us a pic of what you choose!


    Hope everyone is well and enjoying finding these little coins. Thank you all for contributing so much to the thread :j Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and have a good week xx

    Ooh I SO read that wrong! :o:rotfl:

    Not a bean for me this weekend. Sat was an NSD as I did my Tesco shop but am chasing points so paid with my clubcard/credit card. And today I used 50p to help get us over the QE2 bridge back from Essex & my 3 year old God Daughters birthday party.

    DS has a nasty cough so it may be a day indoors tomorrow too.:(

    Hi all

    I went out Saturday night and I spent way too much money but came home with 4 shiny coins for the pot so I dont feel too bad.
