    I've been up to the White Rose Centre (shopping mall) to pay in my overtime cheque and got a scrummy peppered steak for tea from M&S!

    Elliot was chuffed because when he got out of the car there was a £10 note next to the car wheel! :T

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    If there's ever money to be found, he'll find it, he's like a flippin magnet!
    £5 note wafted past us in Newcastle which he promptly snatched up, has found many £2 and £1 coins and £10 notes before too.

    I can vouch for that too! Although last year when I got in a taxi home from a large night out in Newcastle there was a £20 note on the back seat :T

    ooh well done on the £10 Linda. This isn't very dfw of me but sometimes if I drop some change I leave it there for someone to find, only if it's less than £1 though... I'd be down on my hands and knees with my arm down a drain for £10 :)
