Hi everyone, :j

Just thought I would share my experience with you all. This morning on my way to work, ever mindful of Sparky's instructions on finding roadkill, there I was waiting at the bus stop checking the ground without hopefully being obvious.:cool: Then I spotted it, a nice shiny 2p on the floor inside the bus stop, so there I go bending down ( which at my age is no mean feat, once down the old knee's play up and I can't straighten up again ) ............no matter how hard I tried to pick up the 2p......some bl***y smart alec had only gone and super glued it to the floor. !!:mad::mad:.....It was obviously a huge source of amusement to someone. .:D So my lesson this morning is when you spot your roadkill, give it a nudge with the old toes and see if it moves. Only then bend down and retrieve it I couldn't stop laughing to myself once I saw the funny side of it.

OK suspense over,
(Drum Roll) I received a letter from HFC bank to settle my claim for mis-sold PPI. I had the figure of £400 or there about, the letter breaks it down as follows HFC are paying me £1,419.74 plus 8% stat interest £765.48 making a grand total of £2185.22 :j . I would have been happy with the £400 , so now I can clear all of my overdrafts, and start to concentrate on the credit cards.

Hope it was worth the wait LC x

Please can I join in:D I already have a tin for my coppers but I'd like to start another for Christmas. I will be using a( very empty!) Gondolier's chocolate wafers tin taped up and I'll get OH to cut a hole in lid for me.

Hiya FFP,
Welcome to the best thread on MSE, you'll have to wait for Sue_UU to be online later to allocate you a membership number. You'll find us a friendly and supportive bunch, and this thread is very addictive

Hiya elsie,
The little s*ds like playing pranks don't they :mad: ! I found 8p this morning myself while out walking the dog, if any change is glued down I'll take the paving slab also

That's fab news Sparky. I'm really pleased for you. Poor Elsie, that gluing the money down gets ya every time! Anyway people, I'm off now for a few days as I've got a friend coming to visit. Soooooo keep up the good work, and don't let the side down. PS: the second part of my interview is a presentation entitled 'How do we differentiate ourselves from the competition?' Any ideas greatly received. so far I'm suggesting compulsory pink wig wearing. VERY different for a bunch of accountants don't you think. xxxLCxxx
