Can I Fix This?

I cannot believe it but I have counted and recounted and recounted again all of the takings from yesterday and I think that I have too much money.
The takings were stored using what seemed like a foolproof method to make sure that all of the money was collected safely and did not get mixed up with anything else only it seems to have grown overnight because there is far more there than I think there should have been. I now have sat in front of me £1,247.50 which will be going straight into my savings account in the morning.

Thank you I still feel totally stunned and just cannot believe it.
I have been trying to call my sister to tell her as well who coincidentally was only popping out for 5 minutes to the local co-op for some ice cream nearly two hours ago only her phone seems to be somewhere with no reception.
I think that maybe she has got lost yet again though. :rotfl:

I am starting to get slightly worried now because there is still no sign of my sister returning from the local shops and am beginning to think that she has probably programmed the sat nav wrongly and is in the middle of Wales or something by now. :rotfl: I have counted the money yet again and there is still the same amount there so it looks like yesterday was a very big success after all especially considering that I had not wanted to it at all and had finished the day thinking that we would have been lucky to get £500.00.
I am starting to get really bored and I am already wishing that I was back at work and I think that I will probably find the next week feels like a very long time so long that I think that I am definitely going to Scotland for at least a few days of comfort and good meals and Sky HD as well.

Wow, that was some car-boot. Have you got anything left to wear :rotfl:
Congratulations, hope it makes a sizeable dent in the debt :TI let my mind wander and it never came back!0 -
I told you! :rolleyes:0

I still do have some things left thankfully but not very many my wardrobe is looking very empty at the moment but most of the things that were sold were not even mine and actually belonged to my sister and my brother in law.:D I had forgotten just how many smaller and thinner women there are in the world and my sister's stuff was almost flying off of the rails because a lot of it is designer and barely worn because her husband buys it for her all of the time and she totally hates labels.
He had driven down on saturday in my my sister's car which is a Ford Focus so has a reasonable amount of available space in it with the boot and back seat and the passenger seat crammed full of things of theirs that my sister had told him that we were selling which is funny because I have never ever seen anybody else brave enough to tell him what to do and to hurry up about it too. :rotfl: There were quite a lot of household goods and electrical items which were mostly still boxed and I think that these fetched quite good money as well.
I am not in a hurry to repeat this though because it was very stressful.

That you'd make yourself ill you numpty! :rolleyes:
Shame I've got no spare holiday to come up and look after you!0 -
Yes you did tell me that and you were right but I only ever seem to learn the hard way by getting everything wrong in the first place.
I would really appreciate a non nurse looking after me because my sister is currently driving me to the point of distraction by fussing over me so much and looking so worried all of the time.
