Yummy dessert rewards for successful coin collecting
The third weekend of 2025 is here and with it the second weekly report of my Saturday Savers Club participation for 2025.
I am publishing this in our Silver Bloggers community as we do have an interest in crypto and this involved two cryptocurrencies!
Reward Yourself
As far as I am concerned you should reward yourself whenever you like.
So I took Mrs T with me when I had to do a spot of business in St Andrews on Friday.
We wandered around and saw some of the sights....
But balked at the fluffing price of these flowers.
Twenty quid and even forty-five quid! Lord only knows how much this florist would charge at Valentine's time for a half arsed wee droopy rose!

I don't think Hamish McHamish would be best pleased!
You can scan for his story...
Rewarding ourselves
Mrs T is a pizza fan, and as she had minor foot surgery on Monday I thought I would take her to a pizza restaurant.
I am not a big pizza fan, probably because they are pretty crap over here!
This though was fuffing outrageously good and deserves a post all for itself!
The pizza above was the Chef's Dare. You ordered it without knowing what you are getting!
It was ridiculously good.
The ice cream was good old fashioned Italian ice cream complete with a chocolate flake.
The spoons made me chuckle, did you see the spade and shovel?
Saturday Savers Club
I have been reading some of the posts from other Saturday Savers and I kinda miss not tracking other Hive layer 2 tokens.
Maybe I should be collected them in those gorgeous bag savings bank we saw in a charity shop when we were at St Andrews.
Unfortunately the bottom plug was missing or I might have been tempted to get for saving some coins!
Take Notice
So giving in to my wants I have included a new section ... N2Hs.
Can you guess what N2H stands for? All will be revealed in the appropriate section!
If you fancy joining in with the Saturday Savers club and the fun way to save ... then ... First up read this post Saturday Savers Club | Year 5: 2025 Launch and FAQs | 500 HP Prize Draw! | Everyone Welcome..
I shall be Using the Penny a Day Savings Challenge
I have not decided how I will report my progress but at the moment I am tracking my daily progess ...
Primary Goal 1 = 667.95 HBD
Now then I did say I was doing my version of the penny savings challenge.
One thing that I have learnt about the savings penny a day challenge is that (for me anyway) if you start out slow and do the penny and three penny amounts that when you get to the two and three dollars to save a day it is way harder!
So .... I cannot be a ....
... Lazy Bum does not cut it...
Ed's Special version makes use of the make hay while the sun shines philosophy...
I have been extremely lucky to have received some amazing post payouts recently so I am topping up my 2025 savings pot ahead of schedule!
Being a lazy bum will not cut it!!!
As you can see from my account screenshot I really am flying along with 57.141 HBD in my savings pot ...
Charity shopping
Charity shops are great fun and you can find some wonderful finds...
This is ar art deco vase from the 1940s...
The price?
Have a wee guess, and I will tell you after the N2H section!
Secondary Goal 2 = 0.01095996 BTC
Like many of us I sold Bitcoin well below what it is now!
I also believe it will keep going up in the long term...
So I decided to buy 3 USDT worth of Bitcoin each and every day...
I have an auto-invest order on Binance...
Goal 2 = 0.01095996 BTC
The amount of Bitcoin I have now is ... 0.00046858
Which is 0.00028419 more than last week!
... 0.00018439 Bitcoin
It is fun to collect things .... Now it is $HBD and $BTC..
There we have it, it should be an interesting year!
My SSC goals for 2025 with progress to date are :
Goal 1 = 667.95 HBD, To Date 57.14 HBD, 8.55% progress.
Goal 2 = 0.01095996 BTC, To Date 0.00046858, 4.28% progress
My N2Hs
I was never a NFT fan but I want my N2Hs
Nice 2 Haves I have no idea if that is a thing, but fluff it, it is now!
1 N2H 15000 HP Current 11,786
2 N2H 300 LEN Current 86.903
3 N2H 300 DUO Current 230.7
4 N2H 300 EDSI Current 174.882
There you go, my four Nice 2 Haves for 2025.
I think I will generate a wee chart to include on my reports...
PS Remember the vase ...
Did you guess £250...?
Are you saving?
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful 2025...

The birds seemed to be none to pleased to have a statue of a cat sitting around. LOL
I am always pleased to read about your eating exploits. That pizza and ice cream looked great, but I am sure my blood sugar would have went sky high from it.
I really don't have any crypto goals, but I guess I should.
Ah yes blood sugar, we have to be careful.
Thanks Joe, I do like my food.
Crypto goals are interesting, you have silver coins and things. Do you ever say that you want to collect so many coins a year for example?
I do have certain sets of coins I like to put together and putting together as we speak. It is slow go but something that may warrant a "Goals" update post.
That pizza looks crazy! Chefs dare indeed!
I doubt anyone could call you a lazy bum based off your post activity and saving prowess however I'm sure I would add you to the !SLOTH crew!
Mozza in St Andrews, if you are ever there it is well worth it.
Hehe a lazy bum, well maybe not on Hive.
Talking of SLOTH crew, could you invite me to the discord server, I left it when I had a purge of servers I was in!
I'll keep that in mind, they look braw!
Can't give you the discord link again, you left, you're not allowed back silly !SLOTH!
Kidding of course! Join us we need some buzz there haha! I sent you the link on discord, here it is again.

Although I am not in the savers club, I am saving. There is a certain satisfaction in achieving your goals and I already know that I will surpass the goal. Those pizzas look delicious! Hugs, Eric
The savers club is great, you don't need to make a post, just say 2 goals and comment your updates every so often. You can win 500HP ... Let me know and I can guide you....
However ....
jeje no soy eric 🤣🤣🤣
What a shame, Ed! I want to dig a hole in the ground and stick my sorry head in!!!!
Right? Right? What should I reward myself next 🤔🤔🤔 - few moments later, proceed on thinking about the reason why I don't deserve that reward 🤧🤧🤧🤪. Lolol.
Aigoooo, but the pizza and the ice cream looks so tempting. That two is our favorite combo. 🤤🤤🤤
Hehe you would talk yourself out of rewarding yourself!!
char ... for real?
Ah well yeah the pizza really was amazing and I know you would have loved it!
I'm also waiting for my reward but not from myself 😂😌. And for the saving, maybe not in the near future😵.
Yes someone needs to reward you. I think you will never save, you are so nice you will always buy things for your family 🤣
As always, a post full of attractive things, as well as the invitation. I think I'm saving my way but I need to investigate more.
Greetings.
Saving is good. It is not an onerous club, you just write down a couple of goals. You don't even need to write a post, just comment on the main club post how you are getting on.
Wow, I would be rich if I could get those prices for my plants, I sold these types in this size pot for 1 dollar. I got 5 dollars if it was a special plant, none of these are special. The plants on the left are called pencil plants, all you need is a piece of one to grow them, just break it off and plant it, an easy one to grow. The same with the green and white one it is a spider plant, they put out pups, break one off, and plant. I wonder if they sell any at that price.

Yeah the prices were absolutely ridiculous. We have a spider plant at home and just could not believe the prices. Perhaps you are paying for the pots, but I don't think so.
They were just taking the piss, it is quite an affluent town with the university that attracts rich kids. It was where Prince William and Kate Middleton went for example.
Maybe I should ship my plants there, I would gladly sell them for half of their price. !LOL

The ironic thing is , this town and that street is very close to where my great grand aunt would sell flowers from her front room in her house. She would turn in her grave if she saw what was being sold for that price!
I am sure she would, I can not imagine someone paying those prices. The plants look to me to be on the scrawny side, except for the spider plant, it filled the pot. If people buy them, it proves there are fools everywhere.
Way to go on saving! A great start! I'm trying to stack those sats while they're still affordable. BTC will be astronomically high in just a few years. Glad your wife's foot is doing well, and that food and desert looked great.
What ruined cathedral was that by the way?
!BBH
Yeah got to get a jump start if having some good rewards for the saving.
Stacking sats is great as that is the one guaranteed coin that will go up in time.
The cathedral is St Andrews cathedral in St Andrews.

I'm a pizza lover and those pizzas look super delicious, Super Ed 😋
I've been totally off tracks for a while now with the Savers Club thing and I don't think I'm ready to go back track for now LOL But I love that you're so on the right track!!💙
Yeah it was a mystery shop so getting paid to eat them was even better. I just saw your delicious foodie post Super Eli 💙 so I should really do that for the restaurant too.
Ah the savings, well I didn't do it last year and missed it, this gives me some more accountability.
We splashed out at our favorite Pizza place the other day too. My surf and turf was great but maybe not as good as your chef's dare. I went the a !BEER instead of the ice cream.
Saving and compounding with the occasional treat is the best way to go!
