Mt husband lost £400 in the house. He had been paid in advance for a job, I was out at bingo, an announcement came over the tannoy for me to go to managers office, (this scared me) it turned out it was he asking me for the money Grrrr! I hadn't seen it he thought I'd picked it up by mistake.
I've had the house upside down and its definately not there he said. Even my 15 yr old daughter was accused,
I told him to re-trace his movements from the moment he last saw the money.
He'd been reading the paper earlier & the money was there then - - - It was monday night & the dustmen come early Tuesday, Have you put the bags out I said, Yes, right ok I got the bags and tipped 'em all over the kitchen floor and started to go through the mess, & Yes you've guessed it, there was the envelope with the £400 in it.
Evidently without knowing he picked up the newspaper not seeing the envelope there and put them in the black bag together. If we hadn't have gone through those bags early nx day it would have been on the rubbish tip. How lucky was he?
