    You could always scramble the eggs (shells too) and put them out for the wild birds? perhaps not if they may be hers and she's on antibiotics. I don't know.

    No! Truly never worth the risk - and it is a huge risk! See below
    Is there any way i could find this out? I got his wage slip today. It says £1080.83 as Salary and £196.69 as Shift Allowance...... It only states the tax he had paid. I think he will just have to ask his boss like you are all suggesting :( i hope its correct. We could do with the extra.....

    On the downside, i had to loan my sister £525 for her rent and i have no idea how she will pay me back so i am a little deflated :(

    Thinking of it, Ruth, it would have (should have!) been down on his wage slip as tax paid anyway, so can't be that. Will he carry on working for them..or be called upon to intermittently? If so beware in case they're a little dodgy! Might be nothing of the sort, but.......!

    ooooh do beware of family loans, Ruth, a difficult one I know, but can cause so many problems when you're a kind-hearted Sister. :) I hope she's able to return it asap; meanwhile "oh Sis, I really don't have any money spare as 1/ the car needs work on 2/ anything!!!"

    Don't worry too much about the 6p, it's not always easy...you're forgiven! :D

    Ok sparky, I'll watch out for you. Bet you're getting all of a doodah now.
    Does desk kill count? Found 5 pence in the corner of my desk yesterday - in the pot it went. I hope DD does not find my pot :D. She is always skint!

    Yes, Susanne, deskkill definitely counts, so long as it's no one elses desk!!!!

    Well done on your lottery win, Lost!! :T
    116millon, have a wonderful time in France and spend as little as possible, of course. Bon Voyage!

    Oh shelches, so very sorry to hear about your Henrietta, I hope she gets well as it must be costing a small fortune! The egg advice is absolutely right and never, ever worth risking on man or beast - not with any food-producing animals!! All the very best and just 'cut your losses' and smile through. :)

    Betsie2010, you're just like the rest of us, most of us prefer the surprise at the end.

    nanto3girls, the mind's eye seems a very nice finished bedroom indeed. :grinheart

    Very well done with your savings, blindtoast!!
    Whether it's 6p or £60 folks, whatever we all save is fantastic!

    Just picked Miss Lily up from nursery, wlaked in the house and shes pulled a 1p out of her pocket. 'where did you get that?' I ask, 'I found it on the floor in the garden at nursery' says Miss Lily. So into her money box it has gone :D shes so well trained :D

    I then wander down the hall moaning about the doctor and him wanting me to suffer another week of headaches, numbness and general unwellness as he doesnt think a week is long enough to hand out some antibiotics :(, anyway yes was wandering round the hall and see 2 coins on the floor, 1 was a chinease silver thingy the other a 1p :D so chinease thingy on the shelf, 1p in the pot :rotfl:
