    Another two coins for me. One from hubby and the other one when we went out for 'date night'. Or early evening!

    Just been to my local corner shop and the girls were all smiles behind the counter - more than normal i have to say. It turns out that they've been saving the £2 coins they get so that I can have them :D

    So, I have the joy to report that another £20 of little gold bullion are now sitting safely in my pot :rotfl:

    Thx Gem Gem. Have to say I was rather taken aback as they hadn't said anything.

    Unlucky you not getting any today - you just never know when they are going to show up.

    Yippee!
    Did a boot fair this morning and got five lovely £2 coins. (Lots of people who bought things from me also collected them). No special ones.

    Yes, and hubby also came home with another two for me, so a bumper crop for me today.

    We are now 1/3rd of the way through the year. How full are peoples' pots/tins?

    My pot is definitely feeling heavy, but I can see inside.
