    Haven't been on for a while, but thought I would let you know about the traumatic expierience of last weekend. I am collecting lovely £2 coins for hubby Chrimbo pressie, ergo he doesn't know. So I had 3 in the side pocket of purse waiting to go in tin, and hubby decided, very benevolently, to go fetch the weekend papers- taking ALL 3 coins with him (strange, as being a bloke he doesn't normally deal with 'shrapnel'). When I got up, I saw the papers, and GALLOPED to my purse to find it bereft of coins- was highly traumatised and unable to say owt as hubby doesn't know. On checking his pockets I found 2 left- huge sigh of relief and quickly put them in the 'secret tin'. Had to play dumb later when needed change to park and had none- hubby was adamant he'd had change (!!) I just muttered that I was sure it would turn up (as if!!) and nipped quick-like off to local papershop for parking change. Whole expierience was horrifying :-)!! I would have came and divulged earlier but its taken me this long to get over the fact 1 whole £2 coin slipped from my grasp. Anyway over it now <sniff> but we must never speak of it again!!

    Have a fab friday y'all x x x
