    Hi all!

    Have been away for a couple of months due to working a LOT of overtime.

    Haven't added to my pot for a while as I have been concentrating on my debt. Stayed the same for now. Back to it this week.

    No. 47....I think if my memory is correct.

    Well, yesterday I was going say I was jacking this in
    A) I just wasn’t getting any
    B) I dipped into it a couple of months ago
    C) two pound coins were just nowhere to be seen since I said I was doing it and figured I had jinxed by plan by saying it out loud...:D

    However, I decided to count it before I posted, and have £300 in there which I am pretty sure is more than I started with ( haven’t searched for original post), plus since saying to myself I was going to ditch it..........I have come across 3 in a day.... :rotfl:

    So...i’m sticking with it. I will not make my goal to fill the jar, as I think that would take another 1K....so I have maybe been a bit rash with the size of the jar, but will carry on.
    Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.

    :mad:Grr,I am so jealous of all you people snaffling coins left right and centre. I have been shopping 6 times in the last fortnight,and never got even one!:mad:Still stuck on 68 coins,£136

    Plus I havent been to the family history group for weeks,I normally get a couple of coins a month from there.
    Will I reach my target of £150 by end of October? 7 coins,so it would be a doddle for most of you,not so much for me. I am so not a £2 coin magnet:rotfl::rotfl:

    Good morning Calicocat,
    Glad to hear that you are sticking to the savers club.
    I obtained one yesterday but let another three slip me by. I went out for a meal with some old work friends and when it came to paying £2 x3 appeared. But I only had a £10 note and a £1 coin with me. I had spent my change that afternoon in Lidl. (All coins were plain). I was so cross with myself!!!!!

    Dusty digger, that is just so much bad luck. I hope it won't be long before you receive one.
