Found on the ground...

grownup1

I always check our local recycling areas and often find useful items left around the bottle and newspaper banks. One good one was finding a coolbox full of booze - wine, beer and martini. But the best ever was finding a wedding ring in a flowerpot in a skip, which my wife now wears. Our wedding was probably the skinflintiest on record

That's totally LOVELY!

My husband (to be) proposed on Christmas morning with a Christmas cracker ring from the office 'do'. It was perfect. Pink plastic. I love it. He had already bought the wedding ring as he wanted the gesture to be 'marry me' rather than 'let's get engaged' but the 'engagement ring' was a lovely extra!

I did smile at a woman I worked with mocking him and me, saying she wouldn't accept a proposal without an expensive rock. Her loss!

Aww, is a proposal as good as it sounds? *Never been engaged* SOB

Wanna have that feeling... met the one, but it didn't work out ... wasn't man enough to propose even after 6 years.

I guess there can be more than one one...If you see what I mean!

There are plenty of good men out there who'll pick things off the ground for you at the drop of a hat! (The hat being dropped so he can pick up the 'find' without embarassment!)

Was in tescos today and on the shelf with the little sweets like mini bags of haribo and fudge bars there was a 2p coin and 2 1p coins - they were swiftly pocketed :rolleyes:

I used to work as a barmaid at my local. Used to love finding full ciggie packs, money and lighters whilst clearing up at the end of the night. My wierdest find however was a pair of shoes! It was put in the lost and found. Was claimed by a very embarassed woman a week later!

telling fiance about this thread and having a few laughs and he recounted a few finds of his own!

on the way to school when he was little, a condom full of stuff speared over railings (which him and his friends laughed at for days before someone else removed it yeuk!)

a purse which he returned and got a fiver reward for

a parrot outside the co-op he was area manager for

numerous pigeons and the like in stores he was manager of

one shoe in the street or road?
