    hi,

    went to pick up new phone today and went round the charity shops, picked up loads of clothes for the 3 monsters all under £1.50 - and in 1 they had 5 items for £1. bonus. not checked purse for change yet, BUT thought i had found a bonus at bus stop a £2 coin on the floor, i had just missed bus and was on my own so bent to get it didnt move! kicked it didnt move....then a teenager came from side of bus stop and informed me i was the 79th person to try n pick it up - he had superglued it there to see how many people tried to get it!!! (wasnt til i got home i realised nail varnisher remover loosens superglue - could av gone and got a bottle from boots!)



    edit - not put change in pot BUT changed all the 1, 2 and 5ps etc in kids moneyboxes, so got to count that b4 putting in big bottle.
    due to spilling coffee :coffee: on my keyboard it works when it wants to :rotfl:

    I find a teenager's head usually does the same as nail polish remover, it doesn't cost anything and it's quite satisfying :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
