    I once had a delivery from lakelland once and in the bottom was a pen.

    Dd is always finding coins on the floor. like the idea of keeping a taly. i just put it in the pggy bank with the other coins i have liberated from dh's washing.

    Any ££ that is in the washing machine is automatically mine !

    I once.. when VERY VERY EXCEEEEEDINGLY drunk (recently!!).. fished £15 in coins out of a loo in the pub!! I know I know!!!!! It is gross!!!

    Kept me in drinks for the night.

    If there is money on the floor in the pub hubby and I kick it to the corner where we are standing on our many trips to the loo and pick it all up atthe end of the night. glass bits and all!! lol.. hey.. we aren't proud!

    Erm.. a woolly hat.. for one of the children
    A pair of mens black gloves!

    Hubby once came home with 2 kittens!!!! he only went out for milk
    At least when I brought a kitten home I only brought one!!!! lol

    Ooh.. I once found 2 bottles of vodka in my bush! cool!!

    loads and loads and loads of small change.. I put it all in my jar.

    an empty purse.. except for the driving licence.. but that had her address on so I took it to her house.

    a little boy.. deposited at the local police staion.. luckily it was claimed so I didn't get it back!

    £5 note on the floor in the bank
    £10 note outside a shop

    A cat.. which was duly taken home.. and I refused to accept the reward I just said with luck if ever, god forbid, one of my cats were lost they would be returned too.

    a side board!

    I use the ground as a 'rehoming' place.. I've rehomed huge amounts of garden tools, a washing machine, several monitors and pc parts, a dining table, 2 sofas 5 arm chairs, 2 mattresses, 5 dining chairs and a broken tumble dryer!

    Simply take to customer services and have them add the points to your card, I can honestly say I have acquired literally thousands of pounds worth of points wombling for receipts.

    Ben - do you just take a bunch of receipts to customer services? Do they ever say anything to you? I think I'll start wombling outside Tesco!!

    My daughter found £5 in various coins in one place, I still wonder how that could have happened. I would be nervous of taking home a hanky or any items for the hair, eg. clips, scrunchies etc. due to infections or lice or something of that order.

    Just wondered if anyone else goes to drop stuff off at their local skip and comes home with more stuff:o. And do you feel embarrassed asking if you can take it? (at our recycling centre you have to ask and I'm sure they think I'm a right skip-rat!!).

  • Ben - do you just take a bunch of receipts to customer services? Do they ever say anything to you? I think I'll start wombling outside Tesco!!

    Same question - don't they say something about the card numbers being different. Do you just say 'can I have these points added please'.

    Too easy - it'll go wrong for me and I'll be walked off the premises.
