Yesterday I had to wait about 5 hours for a c&c apg to show. Think someone mentioned theirs took 2 days :eek:
Got mine now. Forgotten what school run traffic was like :eek:

I had a normal shop that I wanted to check was 2 days before it even went collected:eek:

ditto as well.

I am wondering how we clean them - I was thinking that maybe some sort of vinegar would make them shiny?
Is it worth actually selling them on ebay - the prices seem to vary wildly?
Also I was worried about that one yesterday which had the words milled on the side upside down but how could you tell?
I am thinking of getting several £10 notes to use when buying something for under a pound and asking for all of the change in pound coins - then I could take all of the very common pound coins and deposit them back in the building society every week, saving anything of interest.
We could do with a pictorial chart of the very common ones as well, the ones that go straight back to the bank.

There is an expert in everything on the Elite so there must a coin collector musnt there????

:o Big Hat on...
Never ever clean coins -

Morning all! Just popping in to say hi as I'm sat in my car, hoping it stops raining soon so I don't have to get wet walking to work!

I pay for car parking in cash so I check all my £1 coins and I recently found a Cardiff and a Belfast and a Scottish thistle. Are they actually worth selling? I've no idea how to go about it, or whether they might be worth more when the round pound coin is withdrawn. Any advice from anyone in the know would be appreciated please and thank you

Lots of coin FB groups - very nice collectors/swoppers/ sellers on them

I am annoyed that the 7up mojito has to come from Sada and the mountain dew 500ml I can only find in my small Mr !!!!!! so they have to go on separate shopping lists

And then just as I was getting to grips with what bottle I needed to get from which store they refreshed the offers so I've got to do them all again

and in between about the third week in January and the 3rd week in Feb I just forgot, wiped it totally from my head that OH has his own Q account so I missed all of the clicksnappy offers on his account - how the heck did that happen

We don't even drink any of them, they all go into the food bank trolley collections.

Oh gawd help us now ....

OH has just gone off with a piece of paper and so I innocently asked him why he was writing a list - I fell right into that trap.

He said it was about time he started to wrote his Father of the Bride speech.

I asked him if he had googled to see if there were any templates or guidelines as to what order to say things in or to do things in but he said no, he is free styling it :eek:
This means that he will be asking me how to spell every word with 3 letters or more - I have pointed out the virtues of spell checker but he has no confidence in it and prefers it if a human helps him with spelling :mad:
So every word will need spelling out in every way possible, one letter at a time and phonetically until I am driven bats - apparently he does this in the office as well but there are 4 others in his office so the angst is spread out but here there is just me.

He will also as he goes along read out the bits he has written and I will be expected to applaud loudly and cheer him on - if I make any constructive comments he will take great offense and throw a paddy and it will then get ripped up and out on the fire (no exaggeration, he started on a pre retirement thought sheet on both sides of an envelope and when I made suggestions he said I was being overly negative and it got written up and put on the fire - deep sigh)

He has to write reports daily at work so I think in his head he thinks a Father of the Bride speech is very much the same as an Accident investigation report :rotfl:

If I reappear in a few days time with a large egg shaped bump on my forehead it will be from where I have banged my head repeatedly against a brick wall ...
