    November's total was £12 and for December I am up to £58! I work in a school and for our party day and Fundraising I got £20 worth of £2 coins! I swapped these for a note and then the bursar asked if I wanted any more as she was about to take them to the bank so swapped another £18 worth! 
    Only one picture in that haul - Brittanica.
    Happy Christmas everyone!
    Wow! 19 two pound coins. You lucky person.

    Well done Claremylove, hubby and I went shopping last night too. We came home with 4p in change so no opportunity to gain a £2 coin for me.

    Another plain £2 coin. 
    £18 now in the pot. 
    £364 + 2 = £366 total for the year.

  • Emptied my pot this morning and looks like my darling hubby has been feeding a few £2 coins into it.  So, I can now declare that #3 has managed to save a total of £358 in 2020  :)

  • December total is 3 coins all plain.
    I have added up my haul for 2020 & it comes to £880  :) The majority of that was collected in the first 3 months of the year when I was still working & a cafe owner would swap with me. 
    I’m now retired so won’t be as lucky in future collecting as many.

    Happy New Year to you all, take care & #staysafe  :)
