    I have to confess when I get one of the special Shakespeare/Hamlet £2.00 coins, it won't be going in my tin. I used to save all the 'special' ones but this one will be part of my memories from last year's trip to the Barbican :smileyhea

    £2 in the pot.. not had much change recently

    I was annoyed I dropped £2 from my trouser pocket whilst walking to work, hadn't realised, so it will be someone else's roadkill.. but then I felt a bit better as when I went sainsburys after and someone hadn't bothered putting their trolley back (they put it in the trolley bay but didn't clip it in to get their money back!), so I got their £1 lol

    Well done to all you potters:beer:

    Had to post something by recorded delivery today so had to go to the village Post Office which has a small shop attached. Afraid to say I succumbed to the temptation of a small tin of Love Hearts from their Valentines display:o. They're not even a gift to anyone, except myself;). I love them but more importantly I was very taken by the heart-shaped tin. How sad am I?:rotfl:

    At least I had a small trickle of shrapnel to pot when I got home, plus my weekly £2 coin went into it's separate piggy:j
