Good at finding lost things? - Page 2

two suggestions:

1. Check the pockets of all your suits
2. I don't know if they sell loosies by you but if so then do it up.

Probably too late for you, but try the drawers in the kitchen -particularly the cutlery one and the one you sweep everything into when you're expecting visitors.

My son finds underneath the Coinstar machines to be much better hunting ground than the vending machines.

Also, I've noticed there's a handy little box of change by the cash registers in McDonalds.

Back when I lived in Leicester the cashier in my local store fumbled the £2 coin I gave her and it rolled under the chiller. She was completely unapologetic and seemed surprised when I enquired about pursuing it. Hey - it's £2! I was only buying a pint of milk. Anyway, she was all shruggy and disinclined to help, so I lay on the floor and set to with my umbrella.

Ha! Lucky for me and unlucky for her! There was another pound coin under there and I seem to remember a 20p and 50p. I definitely came out of the shop with more than I went in, even after buying the milk.

Yeah, when you grow up really poor you get bad habits. Well, when you're evil and you grow up really poor.

Hm, maybe. I have a decent enough IQ and really I make enough money, I'm just really involved in paying off back debt now so I very rarely have any cash anymore.

By mid November I should be out of the hole, though. Then I can work on my death ray made out of aluminum cans and loose change.

There's some dude in a cape and top hat who ALWAYS finds a quarter behind MY EAR! It's amazing, it's astonishing! Don't ask me how they get there!

It's only that funny, because it reminds me of me in my 20's. It wasn't so long ago that I......or my husband....etc. etc.......
