Back seat of a taxi for me, can be worth more than the fare.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

I find money all the time. Collected around £20 in change etc within 3 months. Half to charity, and split the rest between my two kids. Since I emptied the caddy I put the change in, about the beginning of December got about £6 in it already, majority of it £1 coins too.
Currently stands at £9.08 since start of December this year.“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” - Oscar Wilde0 -
