    Two more coins,that makes £150,my target!:T:j:beer:
    Never thought it would be so hard to save £2 coins. I started off so well in January,then it all went downhill.I think we are definitely heading towards a cashless society,I am sure there are less coins around than say 10 years ago. And MSE folks hoarding them all away in their pots dont help either! :rotfl::rotfl: Of course I do most of my shopping online,or by card,so it took the help of Mr Dusty and my friend at the family history group to even get to this rather sparse level..Did much better with my Sealed Pot coins,around £270 there,and its all a big help towards Xmas.Half my Xmas budget achieved just from saving the coins in my purse! Brilliant:j:j

    Another 4 in the last 4 weeks, which is better than nothing.

    They are very few and far between at the moment , this is way harder than I thought, harder than when I wasn’t officially saving them...:D
    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.

    Well done on reaching your target. Saving £2 coins definitely takes the pressure off Christmas.
