Do you check your 20p's to see if they have a date? Apparently if you find one with no date it would be worth a lot!!:j

Is that a silly question??>?>?

I work in a bank I do it daily lol, also keeping my eye out for the Kew Gardens 50p...

Evening Missy. Yay for hoover dust coins. I have to hunt through mine for hello kitty earrings, sequins that MUST NOT BE THROWN AWAY and my earrings :rotfl: - through toast crusts, dried up beans and endless balls of hair and gak. :rotfl:

That little Westie dog is so sweet. I want one.

is gak similar to cack???

Hehehe of course Westie I should have known you'd be up to speed with such things!

Btw it that your Mum & Dad's Westie? So cute, hoping for a biscuit I think!

Gak is just... erm... yucky stuff that makes you say 'gak' :rotfl:

not sure checking the hoover dust will be as fruitful as checking behind and down the back of the sofa...

HAHA just made me remember the time I got my dad to get up and get me a drink xmas day as I saw that all the change had fallen out of his trouser pocket, which I dutifully swoopt (sp) on when he left the room, he returned with my drink and sat back down...

I spent the rest of the evening smiling to myself and chinking the coins in my pocket... I must remember that for the future....

My dad used to lie on the floor when I was a kid, to watch tv lying on his side (bad back) - all his change used to fall out of his pockets and me and my sister would swoop on it because finder is keeper hahaha!! Good times. xx

Why do so many Dads go around with loose change rattling round in their pockets?? As well as that my Dad used to keep his wallet in his back trouser pocket, I can remember my Mum going mad at him about it!!

HB no, that was just a photo from google this morning,

We lost both of the family Westie's to that field in the sky over 5/6 years ago now, although my avatar picture is of Henry Boys nose...

here are a few more to share...






The top two photos is Henry (Boy), who left this world in 2010 aged 14
The bottom two photos Is Ellie (Bellie), who left this world in 2009 aged 14..

Now they didn't do too badly as their average life expectancy is 14/16 years....

The bank of mum and dad is always open!!!

I accept coins and paper I'm not fussy lol, I do make them aware that even though I am 31 I will always be their child and therefore the bank will remain open haha....

As you say Lilty finder keepers lol....

**My parents are supportive and I appreciate them lot, but I am very self sufficient, and occasionally my parents gift me money, they say that they would prefer to see us (me and my sisters) enjoy the money then not being able too....**
