regarding your post about the valuable 50p, i found one of the coins, spooky,

[Psybbo]

You're rich, Emmie, Tony will be jealous x

[Psybbo]

I think he's on nights so won't see it until tomorrow afternoon

[emmie]

really weird, i thought i would have a look, its the only one in the purse, it's most definitely the right one, dates are right,
its a nice design.

[gness]

Em...I really hope it's worth something for you....wouldn't that be a hoot!!

[Psybbo]

Good grief emmie, you are in the money!

[Psybbo]

Emmie, how could you use 50p for the loo?

[emmie]

grief, this must be wrong surely, how on earth can it be worth that much money,

[emmie]

public lav's, most now cost 50p,

I thought the one with the hands on was quite rare, the one with one small hand belonging to our Queen when all the other hands are male. I think it was the United Nations one.

I hope Shoota is right, Emmie....under the mattress with it tonight...☺

[emmie]

hope he sees this,

Well done, emmie!

I'm away to raid all the piggy banks, check down the back of the couch and investigate all pockets in the house.

[emmie]

really odd, because i wasn't going to check last evening, being too tired, but i looked in the purse, the moths flew off, and there i found the 50p
i rarely if ever look at our coins, but it's the right one.
