    Thats so lucky! Very pretty!

    Well i gave in today and got £10 out the bank to buy a couple of magazines (been good for 2 weeks!) so change is going into my pot and i have 2 lovely £2 coins to feed it so it will be pleased!

    I still get so excited when i get £2 coins, its quite pathetic lol! I just can't bear to spend them, had to spend one around christmas and was nearly crying :o

    Kisto that's a lovely terramundi, what a lucky find, bargain price too.

    I'm saving all my 20p's in my sealed box now, £2 coins seem harder to come by. I've got my 5p and under pig on the go too. He's getting heavy, but the sealed pot isn't :rolleyes2
    A penny saved is one you don't have to earn! :wave:

    I know! I was so chuffed with myself for finding it. I guess they didn't have any idea of its value. I've found it on a terramundi website, selling for £17.50 :eek:
