    Don't they say it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.....
    Am sat here biting my nails thinking I may have stuffed up my first APG and seeing now why people moan about the 3hr wait!
    Also kicking myself for completely forgetting to grab wombles on my way back to the car too (can you tell I'm still really new to all of this :D)

    Afternoon luvlies, hope everyone is ok. Need to catch up so hugs to anyone who needs one :)

    Did a Muller shop v Morries this morning, will post results up in a while. Thanks for all the workings out and to Savvy for the list :D.

    Thought I'd share my wombling find with you. After visiting sada, I stepped over a little wall over to sainsbobs, couldn't find any Marie Claire's with the right free gift in so came back to where I parked the car in sada's, this time stepping over the wall a little further down. My heart was racing when I saw something in the gutter. First I thought it was a crumpled piece of paper then I saw it was creamy coloured with red pictures and writing on, I stooped to pick it up thinking it was my lucky day and it was money, guess what it was ......

    Yes, it was money alright, but not UK currency, it was 1 Ghana Cedi. Ok I thought, that's not so bad so just put it into the currency converter
    1.00 GHC=0.0000334673 GBP

    Maybe the paper's worth more than the face value of the note itself.... :D

    Awwwww shame it wasn't one :(
    I did find a fifty once on the floor by the till in the local corner shop.
    I swore I was being watched all the way home (we don't live in the nicest area and I assume for someone to have it in their wallet and not notice it missing they probably had more) who carries a note that big around with them anyway?!!
    I took it into Barclays the next day (with my kids in tow) and got it changed into smaller notes, claiming that way the kids would find it easier to spend in the shops :D
