    I lost a fiver outside a block of flats today. I wonder if it is the same one? Mine had a picture of the queen on the front?

    If it's the same one, could you return it to me please - it has great sentimental value.

    Oh, I think it's mine.....I must have dropped it last night when I went out for a stroll (it took me ages to get all the way from Leeds to Crouch End - was going to get the bus back, but I lost my fiver and had to walk :()

    The £5 Fairy must be doing the rounds as I also found a fiver over the weekend in a old pair of Jeans. Luckily it had survived the washing machine and had been sitting in the bottom of my cupboard for the last 2-3 months ;)
