£2 Savers Club for 2021

Gem-gem

DH has been coming home with plain £2 coins. No picture ones for me.

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all well and avoiding the dreaded lurgies that are out there.
I have decided not to set up a £2 Saver's club for 2022. I first joined the £2 Saver's Club in 2014 with Purplemumof2 and then took the forum over a few years later, when she stepped down. With the reduction in the overall use of cash and my change in thinking - to only make mindful spends and focus on FIRE. I, like many others are receiving fewer and fewer coins. I am still going to look out for the picture £2 coins for the ones that I am missing. But won't be collecting them as a general rule.
If anyone would like to take charge of the challenge - please feel free to do so. 

It has been great saving / collecting with you all.
 If anyone wants to say hi - you will find me on a couple of the boards in the old style area. 

I will continue to monitor and award medals till the end of the year. 

Best wishes, 
Gem-gem x

Yay, £30 added to the pot so far this month.  That takes me to £224 - past the £200 mark finally  .  All plain except one rugby world cup coin, but all very welcome.  Bingo tonight and Tuesday night so who knows - there may be more to come!

Wonderful, thank you Gem Gem.

Any idea who will take over the reigns from you next year?

Hi Claremylove, 
No, I do not know who will take over. Hopefully, someone will volunteer. 

If no one steps forward, this thread could always keep running as it doesn't have too many posts. I would just change the title to 2021 - 2022, but it would be better to have someone who oversees it.

Another £20 added - all plain but all welcome and safely potted.  Now up to £244 so steady progress in the last couple of weeks.

Just one stop in town today to get satsumas which seem to have flown off the shelves before I make it into the store so I may get another one later on (here's hoping).

Well, I didn't expect 2 more this morning - courtesy of the lovely post office lady as had sold 2 magazines on E shop!  One plain and one was London underground.
