That cake has mould growing on it..!

There are various apochryphal stories about people choking on the silver sixpences hidden in Christmas puddings. Har-har-har not so lucky after all.
I have a spare one if anyone is interested.
A sixpence. And not to choke on of course.
I was going to send it to Bri for Christmas (sjhe got a mini-pudding in her box), but it arrived too late. Actually I think I'll give it with love to my Mum on her birthday. By coincidence it's actually minted in 1946, her birth year.

Well, might as well get it out the way - I also have a Chinese God of Fortune purse (wallet? change purse? Not a bag, something to hold money) and two Chinese coins with holes in them. Can't choke on those. You're not supposed to give an empty purse, or it will stay empty - a purse with coins will attract others. I don't know if that's Irish, East End London or just made up by my family. You can't spend these anyway, they're probably worth about tuppence. That was for her birthday. There's a cat on it.

Sorry. I don't think there's anything else already purchased.
