Last year I bought this years Christmas Cards. It was Christmas Eve and we were at Lichfield Market. A stall was selling all the cards for 20p each, previously £1 upwards. I got all the family cards for about £1.20. Now I can't find them. Its most unlike me, I keep everything organised and all the Christmas stuff, Easter stuff etc all together. Its driving me mad !! I just hope I find them before Christmas because I don't want to buy more, but worse case scenario I will make them so its not all doom and gloom. Anyway back to the point, I have been searching for these cards high and low when I found a bag of paperwork. You know the kind, I'll keep this all together and sort it out later. I began searching through the bag when I came across my buried treasure. Morrison's saving stamps £81 worth :-) I began collecting these last year when my husband was being made redundant so I could get the Christmas shopping with them. Somehow ( and I don't know how ?? ) they got stashed away in this bag with paperwork and forgotten about. So much for me being organised eh ? Nevertheless it was a great surprise and kind of takes the edge of the missing card situation. The good thing about the stamps is that they are not dated so you can spend them whenever you want but if you want to use the free bonus stamps , they have to be redeemed in November or December. Have you found anything you had forgotten about ?
Wow - what a great find! I once thought I had no money left with a few days to payday - I found £5 folded up really small and stashed in my purse behind photos of J and K. I felt like I had won the lottery!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's always nice to find forgotten surprises! I found $20 in my purse this morning that I didn't know about so that was nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! I found a £20 note in my pockets this autumn when I fished out my winter coats. I have no idea how I could misplace £20 but I did and I was delighted to have it again. It was like free money. Sometimes forgetfulness pays off! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies, they will certainly come in handy. Still have'nt found those darn cards yet !! :-)
ReplyDeleteYES I just found a bag of Christmas gift tags - 3 days AFTER I finished wrapping all my gifts [having first sat down and made a new batch because I couldnt find the 'lost' set]
ReplyDeletei sometimes think that the only times I really tidy up properly is when I am hunting lost things. £81 of stamps is a real blessing, though.
Great to have found all your saving stamps in time for Christmas. Hope your cards turn up x
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I too often find scrunched up notes that I forgot I had! We all need a better way to store our money! or perhaps it's better this way, so you get a nice surprise every so often!
