    GOOD FOR YOU......... mine too are old enough and ugly enough too! Best though to check the pockets before you wash, as I found out once, it can save on hefty washing machine repairs.

    One word of caution....don't brag about what you found or they start to click and empty them ....and that would be a shame. LOL! :confused:

    :eek: hadnt thought of that will just have to keep

            Hope you're feeling better now, Sams.
            I got my first £2 coin in weeks today. At last, I can start saving again. I'm trying to just put £2 coins in this year, but they're hard to come by. Might have to relent and put some shrapnel in.

            Try asking on the flylady thread, they have some really good tips on there. My house has improved tremendously since I joined it!

            Good change day today, friend came over and took pity on my debt free mission so sent me to sainsburys with £10 for lunch, I came back with £6.72 in change and they told me to keep it!!! I put half in my savings pot and half in my new HLC loan pot. (was told today that when I'm in a position to settle they will give me 20% off Yay!!)

            Not really sure I want people feeling sorry for me and giving me hand outs as I've never felt better but hey they insisted!!!!

            Night everyone.
