    No idea *which* of my family has entire pound coins in their trouser pockets, but if they won't check, I'll pick up the nugget.

    Beloved son spotted abandoned trolley nugget in trolley - now stashed in car for when customer services is unstaffed or uncooperative.

    I am lurking behind the curtains, busy decorating so not going out shopping and wombling things. Will try harder.

    Sugarbaby you are doing great. Have you considered buying to sell on as a side hustle? A lot of people seem to do it.

    God can you imagine breaking the washing machine with a 5p Dizzy I found a huge nut (metal sort) in ours recently. How??? I check it religiously before it goes on.

    Hi Bob,

    I only sell on my own purchases from eBay that do not fit properly when they arrive, or do not look as good on my body as expected. Selling on eBay pays, but it is a long and laborious way to raise extra money. Listing items effectively is time consuming and taking lots of photos from different angles.

    I went to a wedding and had to kit out the 4 boys in suits/waistcoat/cravat, so started looking in Feb and resold after the wedding in June - made over £100 as it was full wedding season and I had bought in the low season. So odd to think a suit has a season. They go crazy in December for the Christmas wedding/ Hogmany too.
