    Yes very true about the double edged sword Gem Gem. But I will be pleased at the end of the year when I get to bank them all :rotfl:

    Yes, it is lovely when you get to bank them or spend them at the end of the year.

    Popped another four into my pot today. Hubby went and did the shopping whilst I started the house work.

    Had a days annual leave today. Walked to the gym this morning and had a swim. Then after the house work, spent the afternoon in the garden, weeding the strawberry patch and removing dandelions from the lawn. Sheer bliss. Hope everyone else has been able to enjoy a little of the sun today.

    Hubby came home with another £2 coin for me today. It was a London Underground coin.

    As we are a quarter of the way through the year, I thought I'd see how well I am doing, compared to past years.

    I'm 50% down (am usually around £150 by now) but I am currently focusing on reducing one of my credit card balances so tend not to have as much cash available as I would like. Also, I gave up my A@0n round last year and my customers used to pay me in £2 coins once they knew I saved them. So, that said, I actually seem to be doing ok :rotfl:

    Actually, we are all doing very well :j
