    I desperately needed washing powder so sent the children to the local shop. They came home with a plain £2 coin in my change!

    Yay! 👏 another £2 coin gained.

    6 coins potted today. Think they are all plain ones but will double check.

    1 was in my change from work canteen and at end of shift had £10 left in my purse, as it is payday on Friday and I am not in work now again until then , Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be no spend days so swapped the note for 5 coins.

    👏👏 Well done on achieving 16% of your target. Only another 2 coins and you will have achieved a fifth of your target in 2/52 (or 1/26) of the time. At this rate you will smash your target by Easter. 👏👏

    My son gave me a £2 coin from his money box today, well I swapped him for it! I was changing a note for something else and he offered it me. I have just remembered a staff member at work said she had some if I wanted to swap - will have to remember to ask her tomorrow! I will keep you posted!

    No 17 checking in. Got my first coin today. Yay off the blocks, just 124 coins to go....
    I agree with others I'm definitely not using as much cash to buy things
    LBM 02/01/2021 (£52,000) + (£27,000 2023 home repairs)
    Now 24/02/2026 (£13,478)
    83% of debt cleared

    HSBC Mortgage = £42,502 (4.69% 103 repayments to go)
    HSBC loan = £604 (5.3% APR) £302/mth (2 repayments to go)
    Admiral loan = £12,874 (2.7% APR) £321/mth (40 repayments to go)

    Emergency Fund = £2000/2000

    New front door fund = £1000/1000
    New bathroom fund = £0/£2500
    New windows fund = £0/7000
    Living room refurb fund £0/800
    Front garden refurb fund = £0/600
    Total refurb funds = £0/13,600

    👏👏 You are doing well with swapping up £2 coins with other people. Well done. It is good to let people know you save them:
