    Hi Gem Gem and everyone :D

    Just wanted to say I started collecting £2 coins on this challenge a few years ago now. Stopped posting a while ago but still cant spend these £2 coins so continued saving them :D

    So I am just letting you know I am now up to £2058 :eek::eek:

    I bank them once I get to £100 and now have £2000 in a bank account I use just for them :D I still cant bring myself to spend out of this account so it is a great way to save :D I am still excited when I get one in my change after all this time so keep going and in another £42 time I will be releasing my coins so you can collect them ;)

    Hi MavvyMoo,
    Well done on your savings. I cannot spend the actual coins. But I find it very satisfying when I am able to buy something big e.g oak headboard.
    Let us know when you reach your milestones.

    <grumble> Just one this week, and the first of the month.

    I suspect it is going to be a very lean time.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Not posted in a while due to my holiday and being really busy but since my last post I think I've had a very disappointing 2 coins in the tin! As we were originally saving for our baby, we should technically break the pot in October but I want to keep going until it's full. OH wants to open it when the baby arrives as he thinks what's the point in saving for something that's already here? Don't know what to do!
    #27 £2016 in 2016 = £763.61

    #42 £2 Savers Club = £160

    *Savers Club not included in overall 2016 savings until the tin is opened and my estimates have been confirmed later in the year.
