Mine too survives on a diet of socks - but never a full pair !!! lol

What a way to start my day eh! Im going to be a good girl and put it towards crimbo. Actually, i am missing a sock today, why do they eat socks?

What a useful machine ! I went 'fishing' into the depths of the base of an armchair yesterday and found £ 4.22 ..and 1 Euro. Not such a good haul as your's, so I'm off to check the washing machine next. Gwyn

On my way to your house now with all my washing Donna! Kim

Hi Donna, That reminded me of a lucky find I had when I first moved to London from the west country. I left my old washer behind when we moved with the intention of getting a new one in London, so for the first week or two, we did the laundry at the local launderette. One Sunday my youngest son (then about 10) and I went to the launderette, did the washing and then put the clothes in the dryer and waited for them to dry. There was no-one else in the launderette, not even the person who ran the place, all the time we were in there. When the clothes had dried, my son began to remove them from the dryer, and I folded them and bagged them up. The next thing I know, he's handing me this ten pound note saying look at this mum! Then he handed me another and another..................we couldn't believe our eyes............and I remember commenting saying ' I'd always heard the streets of London were paved with gold.' There was no-one around to return the money to, and as we did not know who it belonged to anyway.........we were quids in. Jen

Oh well done Jen, nice when it happens isnt it. Ive decided, its me does the washing, so it must be my money lol. *still looking for two missing socks*

Lovely Donna, shame it was only the once lol! Made sure son got a good treat out of it though. Oh except for the time I found a five pound note on the street. Jen

Can you get some for me please?'lol

I'll try Roxanne lol.....might look in the dryer next!

Morning Strump, girls, The only time I get money out of mine is when it goes wrong and OH realised its got bunged up. He finds them in the pipes How are you all today? Caz
