WOW!

Think I am going to do that with my £2 coins from now on..

 

[wayneg]

Great amount, never mind spends & extras that would almost pay for our flights, hotel and car hire if we go Nov.

 

[catherine]

That's great! I would never have the patience to wait that long, we have a change jar and I'm always counting the money in there!

 

[laura_<3]

Wow that's fantastic, enjoy spending it!

Thanks everyone.

We were only budgeting about £900 for 'spends' as we are on the DDP and only doing Disney. I had thought we would need about £300 for tips, £300 for extras like alcohol and little souvenirs and £300 for spending money for the girls.

Our 'extras' so far:
MNSSHP / MVMCP £400
Photopass £100
BBB £68
Premier Inn £64

We also need essentials like ESTAS, insurance and new passports. £1280 is going to go a long way to ease the pain.

The plan is to start saving £2 coins again, starting mid-June. That will help fund our return trip to WDW in 2015/16.

Very good total

Were also £2 savers, Just short of £1000 saved.

 

[Nubbedy]

Congratulations - that's a great total.

No wonder there don't seem to be many £2 coins about - it's all us Disers that have got them at home in savings tins!

That's amazing! Well done on saving all of that! I might start doing it too!

 

[bex7583]

thats amazing u are going to have such a fab time , its always good when you have more then expected in the money tin !!!

!! im tempted to open my money tin now lol ( well just give it a shake at least )

 

[loobzuk]

I save £2 coins too but my tin never gets very many - probably because I pay using my debit card mainly!

That's a great total and I'm sure it will help ease your holiday spending.

Now if you bank it all Joolz think of all the £2 coins back in circulation ready to be saved again

That's what I was thinking although more along the lines of "yay more will be in circulation for me to get!"

Well done!!

[tinkerpea]

Im so pleased that it was more then you thought!
No wonder it took so long for you to get done counting.

 

[irongirlof12]

Wow, well done! Fab amount saved! We did it a couple of years ago, we had around £600 in ours, it was our alcohol savings, we called it the Rose and Crown fund

 

[tennisfan]

An amazing amount, well done

Have just taken it to the post office and it is now sitting in my Barclays current account. The first withdrawal will be for the kids' passports in two weeks.
