Morning everyone. Hope all are keeping well.  With the preferred choice to use contactless payments, £2 coins, even any coins, are a bit of a rarity now.  However, 6 little gems are now residing in my lovely pot.

i did take £200 out at the beginning of the month and banked them.  That £200 has been added to my EF (premium bonds) to see if they will generate further savings 😀

Hello, everyone! 

Oooooh claremylove, I'm a big fan of the old Premium Bonds too - and tomorrow is what I call Little Win Day, the second working day of the month which hopefully brings a little win! I've had a run of good luck and I'm hoping it's here to stay! Hope yours do their bit to generate some further savings!

I too have no coinage to report but agree that it is a good opportunity to save money and hopefully we can turn a negative into a bit of a positive. My thoughts are with you all though, and I hope you and your loved ones stay well xxx

Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. 
Just one more coin to add to the collection. I swapped it at the Post Office!

Good evening claremylove,
yes, £2 coins are a bit of a rarity these days. What a good ideas - changing your coins to Premium Bonds. I use to have PB before hubby and I bought our current home but I had to cash them in to help fund the move.
Fingers crossed that they will generate further savings for you.

I haven't posted for a while as cash hasn't been flowing. It's getting harder to collect due to the circumstances but would like to report my pot has increased by 7 coins in the past fortnight or so! Another bonus to this situation is the saving of money in general. By the time it's over I should have enough saved to continue with the home improvements! 

Good evening Nellie75,
Yes, one of the few plus points is the savings that we are making in general saving a fortune in petrol and going out BUT the heating, electronic bills and toilet roll bill will increase. Thanks for keeping us all posted.

Good evening Westie983,
Thanks for checking in and keeping us updated with your £2 coin saving.
Hope you are okay and that self isolating isn't sending you stir crazy.
I have been working from home, but have finished today for the next ten days. I have only been leaving the house once a week for food and once a week for exercise. The back garden has been keeping me busy.
Stay safe and pop in once in a while to let us know that you are okay.

Good evening CazzieLT,
Thank you for checking in and letting us know how your £2 coin collecting has been going (or not).
I hope you also had a little win day on your PB and keeps your winning streak going.
Stay safe.

March total was 85 coins before lockdown occurred, most were plain, only had 1 St Pauls’s & 1 Richard Trevithick. Have been using my debit card since on the rare occasion I venture out.
My mum passed away Monday eve, 70 miles away in hosp, a victim of Covid19, she had underlying health conditions. So please everyone, stay safe

Dear Grumpyoldmoo,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mum. 

My thoughts are with you and your family. It must have been hard to have not been with her. Take care of yourself and stay safe as well.

I called at the Post Office on the way for our daily walk yesterday to put the Lottery on. I had a little Euro win and received a £2 coin and also got one in my change! 2 more plain ones in the kitty!
