    I'm doing so well with this but then I have a cash business so it's more likely that I'll get them passing through my fingers.

    I'm up to £72 so far in 2013.
    Can't wait for the month end to transfer them off my CC debt.
    I'll be emptying Penelope Pig too.

    Hello everyone! Hope your £2 collections are building niceley! I deposited another £20 last week so I'm a sixth of the way to my target now.

    I'm starting to wonder if I would be better to leave my £2 coins in the pot rather than bank them in small quantities as I usually do. My overdraft just swallows them up and they inevitably end up re-spent!

    Hi Starhut,
    Can you open an online saver account and bank them into that? That way you can see the total building but it won't disappear into your overdraft.
    Having said that, it's not good MSE practice to have OD and savings so maybe not. Just an idea!
