    I rounded up all the £2 coins I have squirreled (ahem 5 locations) & there are 17 plain in piggy! The 6 pretty are safe somewhere but the penalty for squirreling is that sometimes you just don't remember where. (I'm #15, I think)
    Ah well, I may besooch the offspring to check their change for swaps, as it is universally agreed I must have hospital car park change. 
    Son much smitten with star, thank you!

    You are lucky that your bank will let you deposit 10 bags. My bank will only let me deposit 5 bags at once.

    Glad to hear that you felt safe at your resort Grumpyoldmoo. I bet it did feel good to get abroad and see the sun. 
    Hopefully you will obtain some £2 coins in the last third of the month.
