I found a £10 note last week when in Devon, then my GFs mom the same day found £15 rolled together in a field, and my girlfriend the day later found a £5 in the car.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies0 -
I regularly find money in the street, have found £5 in Birmingham city centre, and £20 outside a supermarket, it all adds up, I once found £45 at work (it was a museum) handed it in, but no one claimed it and I got that back. Iwasn't very MSE back then so I wasted it, now it'd buy me a weeks shop with some to spare!Debt free 11/05/11!

My son is horrified when I do this. He says it is dirty. Somehow he thinks the change he gets in a shop is clean :rotfl: It must be the process of handing it over the counter that does it!Sealed Pot Challenge #8 £341.90

i used to turn my nose up at picking up pennies, but now i do it all the time since i realised that it all adds up. i'm going through a particularly financially trying time at the moment, so went through my collection of handbags (part of the reason i'm so broke) and found almost £2 in change. anything less than 5p goes in my piggy bank. my partner and i emptied the piggy bank last month and treated ourselves to a domino's pizza with the proceeds. the best bit was, it was a tuesday so it was BOGOF! yay!0
