My Nan and Mum would never give a purse as a present without a coin in it otherwise superstition would dictate that the recipient would always be poor. It didn't work though - we were always poor anyway!:rotfl:

I was brought up that way too and still do it, even if it's just a penny I was told it's so that your purse will never be empty


Here's another one I've found:


“Don't put your purse on the floor or you'll stay broke.” This is an old superstition, which says that we shouldn't keep our handbags on the floor if we want to have money coming in. With your handbag, the problem is that you are both physically and symbolically putting your money on the dirty floor down by your feet, which can be interpret as you are disrespecting your wealth. If you want to keep your money, you have to respect it. A symbolic way of respecting it by putting it in a nice place like on the table, a chair or your lap.

Thank you, I'll have to try and remember not to put my bag on the floor.
Got two £2 coins today. : 0 )

If you could design a £2 coin what would you put on it?

Found a fiver on my walk to work this morning, then at work a colleague got paid back for something by another work colleague with a £2 coin and 3 £1 coins, so I swapped them for the fiver I'd found! Winning!

What a lucky day you had finding £5 and the gaining a £2 coin.

I banked my £642 today and changed some into Euros for my holiday so that takes me back to £0 ready to start again. Can't believe how much I managed to save. Hopefully next year will be just as good :)
