    Well done Gem Gem. I've had no luck at Mr T for several weeks.

    My pot is going well but have transferred £100 (as already mentioned in a previous post) to my emergency fund. I'm half way to getting another £100 in the fund so lets hope for a very successful May coin hunting.

    Hope everyone else's pots are filling up nicely :o

    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.

    I haven't lifted my pot for a few weeks now but the sound is getting quite different now each time I drop in another coin. I don't think I'm quite at the half way mark yet.

    I got 2 more coins today, bringing my total to £132. I'm pretty sure last years achievement was around £170 for the whole year so I'm pretty chuffed to be almost at the same level already! Definitely going to be a bumper year for me :)

    Hi All,

    I'm still here. I've lost count of my £2 coin collection so just popping them in my tin. I got one in my change today so I'm thinking of it as a good luck charm as I had a job interview this afternoon.

    Happy hunting

    Well done Twiggy. I would be chuffed too. Hope the next seven months are as fruitful as the past 5 months.

    Hi Naomi, good to hear from you. I always find that I lose count, so I haven't bothered this year. I hope you get a nice surprise.
    Hope your job interview went well this afternoon.

    No shopping = no £2 coins. Bit of a double edged sword!

    I used to keep a record of it on my savings spreadsheet but that all went a bit by the by too! lol
