Glad I checked the pockets before getting rid of the coat. I do have a really bad habit of fivers in amongst receipts cos I just wrap them in them and put them in my purse when I'm in a rush. Usually find one or two fivers when I clear out my purse every couple of months.
I just took out my winter coat and judging by the receipts in it, I last wore it on the 30th March. I found 5 x £2 coins in it, a bar of milka white chocolate (no idea where it came from, i don't even like white chocolate), some coupns and a little jewelled hair clip; don't know what that's doing there as my daughter last wore it about ten years ago - very strange!
But I'm delighted with the tenner0 -

I'm too tidy for my own good
I tidy it out before putting it away each time, it's a habit I have gotten into now DD is potty trained and I need to keep spare clothes, pants and other such things in my bag at all times!
I'm so predictable that when we go out, DD tries to sneak out the green box with biscuits in it, in case I get caught late and she's hungryWe spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!:dance: Mortgage Free Wannabe :dance:Overpayments Made: £5400 - Interest Saved: £11,550 - Months Saved: 240 -
Mine contained several money off coupons, loads of crumbled receipts, a business card and £3.05:j:j:jLight travels faster than sound - that's why you can see someone who looks bright until they open their mouth.0

No treasure in mine I'm afraid I know to the last tanner how much I have in my purse .I keep a seperate one just for food buying so any change goes straight back in there .my ordinary purse I carry very little cash at all and can have a tenner in there for several weeks I am not very keen on shopping and if I can I stay away from most shops apart from when I have to buy essentials .0
