    Wahey! Just found £10K I forgot about

    What a result! Clearing out a load of boxes & stuff and lo and behold, found a large envelope for £10K in cash that I must have put there Xmas before last.

    I thought I was a bit light for last year on one of the businesses.

    I really do need to get a grip with filing & banking.

    Boomed!

    Happened more than once.

    What about finding you still own a quite valuable car you thought you'd sold!!!!

          Well. It's a night out. Think I may head over to the pub to celebrate.

          In the good old days of double shops at Xmas, I once had 40k floating around the house over christmas. Missus had kittens, so I started to hide it.

          I'm still hoping my passport I lost four years ago(I put it somewhere safe) turns up one day!!!!!

                You couldn't make it up, but I'll try ...

                After riding in his estate all morning, Threaded reached a village. Past a row of tythe cottages housing some some of his estate workers, was a large barn he had completely forgotten about.

                In this barn he found several of the cars listed here, all in pristine nick, and then remembered they were his too.

                (or are we talking matchbox cars?)

                    Well, the contractors did plow a field that I didn't know I owned. Then the guy who thought it was his field came round to complain. Nearly went legal, till we got the deeds out and yes it was mine. I let him off for the back rent. 'Cause I'm a big softy really.
