  • The time to worry is if it's a tenner of coins.


    Don't stand directly behind the daft mutt. You might get caught with some shrapnel.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Well he left me a suspicious looking parcel in the garden this morning.

    Couldn't face poking through though so have left it to see what the rain uncovers.

    This is doing nothing for my budget!!

    Hopefully with a bit of QE he will have dropped 2 x £10
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Oh I don't know. Your helpful hound has not only made sure you had to have a no spend day, he's like a really cheap piggy bank that you don't have to smash to get the money back out of.
    Quite MSE of him really.

    (Presuming he does the honours, as it were.)

    Just went out to investigate so I could update....

    The neighbour caught me poking through poo with a stick

    Ground. Swallow. Now.

    There was what looked like chewed up toilet roll (highly likely), but nothing more substantial.

    I'm not really sure he chewed the money, it looked like it went down in one gulp. Would it break up in transit?

    Not sure how long to keep checking for before I start to get a reputation around here!

    How long would it take to pass through?

    He did do an Andrex puppy impression a few days ago, and this is the first evidence of that I have seen, so looks like we are working to a 3 day delay. Does that sound about right?

    Mutt found a neatly folded £20 on the pavement once which my mother spotted as it was halfway down her gob.
    Cue wrestling match in the middle of the street with the neighbours looking on with interest at mother with her hand firmly planted down dogs gullet to retrieve said note and the dog being equally determined it was her snack and was continuing on its downward journey.
    Mother won, but the neighbours now run when they see her coming.

    Edit - I usually banked on a two or three day delay for items in transit.
