    H i Sue-uu, thank you for the new thread. I am hoping to check in at least one a month, just need to remember to do so lol.
    For first check in of the year, have two pots one for anything 50p and below and one for £1-£2 coins. I have added £2 to the 31p already potted.

    I probably sound a bit mad but I have a recurring reminder on my outlook calendar at work to update threads. :o

    I've been potting away - must be a couple of quid so far :)

    Morning all.

    Lots and lots of new members - welcome and good luck to you all. May all you savings be big ones.

    Plenty of £2 coins being potted also, but scarce for myself. I'll have to hit the s/scan tills ................................. they're normally reliable. lol

    4 x 20p coins potted.

    Good for you, EchoDelta, I wish the same could be said of all our LATE SPCers!!!! :mad: I was a lovely shade of brown post November, I'm sure I'll soon be ruddy silver at this rate with so many begging threads everywhere, though some lovely angels helping me with them, bless them all. Well done with the cash injections.

    Hellooooo again, skilly!!!! :dance:It's marvellous to see you back so quickly, here's hoping it's a sign of things to come; though I do understand all too well that last year was so difficult for you. A brilliant £10er potted eh, excellent.

    A super sum, purple angel, good for you.

    Slow and steady.. indeed, Helen, and there's yonks to go yet. :j

    Good luck with those £2s, Lynsey, I love em, but usually jakes-mum gets the lot. :(

    Morning nanto3girls, early pottings for you too then.

    Right, off shopping with DH, see you later folks.

    Have a great day, all, and save well.

  • Wow this thread moves quickly, lots of eager savers!

    Had to go to the bank this morning and got 2 x £2 coins in my change so in to the pot they go.

    I saw a lady in the toy shop last week paying for all her gifts in £2 coins, I thought well done and also that will be me next year!
