Why??

We keep our coppers in an oversized bottle in the living room, and have done for years now. So I can't help but wonder why the girls feel it's their job to fill the bottle with other rubbish such as biscuits, magnets, lolly sticks and worst of all...the money from my purse.

This morning I sat and stared in disbelief down the neck of the bottle, and counted up £6.20 in pounds, fifties and twenties.

Why!? And what's worse? You can't just tip the bottle up and have the coins slide out - oh no - as soon as you tip the bottle they all mix together! Great.

Sure, I completely emptied the bottle. But I got the girls to put all the coppers back in themselves. And no I didn't count them.
