    Not a very nice day here at all - very windy and rainy.

    Meant to say, made £1 going to the gym yesterday as previous occupant had forgotten to pick up the locker coin... so maybe if it's quiet next time I'll check a few more!

    And you could do a BOB-type raid on their chairs too...

    :rotfl::rotfl:I can just imagine you going around them all.........I would do the same too:o:D

    I have found a few before in supermarket trolleys were someone has either forgotton or havent been able to manage to get the £1 back out and just left it (I have actually witnessed this with my own eyes.....unbelievable)

    There would be no way on earth that the trolley would win on a keep the £1 game with me as its opponent:cool:, do you REALLY think that I carry tweezers in my handbag for doing my eyebrows??????
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    erm confession time, spent some money unnecessarily - nice jacket and trousers for gym from Ellie Gray. They were half price and I did it through topcashback to get money back. Lovely though!
