New savings account

[Shergy]

I have just found out i have a new way of saving money without knowing.
In my house by the front door i have a studded wall with a hole in the plaster due to my son opening the door to hard and the door handle making the hole.
I have a stopper on the floor now but yet to get around to fixing the hole,its been like this for 8 months (hang head in shame).
Last night my son and my daughter in law with grandson went to leave but couldn't due to the fact we couldn't find there car keys, we looked for 2 hours turning everything upside down.
It wasn't till i emptied my pockets out including my small change and a crumpled note that we got to the bottom of the lost keys.
I put my change on the table and carried on looking and out of the corner of my eye noticed my 2year old grandson take all the change and put it in the hole in the wall, my grandson has this wonderful saying when you ask him a question and it is   I DONT KNOW with his arms out wide this was his answer when asked did you put the keys in the hole.
Out came the hammer and chisel and i put another hole in the wall at the base this time and sure enough there where the keys inside the studded wall along with £78.56p 2 wine gums half a kit Kat 3 pens my Frankie goes to hollywood CD which i accused my partner of pinching for her car and his mothers purse she lost 3months ago with another £30 in it.

At least i have the money to repair the hole now.

I would love to hear any other like tales.

My husband's glasses kept dissapearing. We would go to Costco's or Asdas and buy them in sets of three. We had no idea where they were going until my daughter cleared our three year old grandsons bedroom. She found fifteen pairs. LOL

Every time he comes round he has to 'be like grandad'. He goes to the drawer in our bedroom and gets out one of his 'pockets with a shirt on' (my husband's work shirt) and puts it on, puts a pair of his glasses in the pocket, gets an old pair of his steel toe caps and one of his spanners and goes to 'help grandad'. I'll have to see if I can find a snap of him dressed up to put on here.

Arnold (my lovely hubby) makes my grandchildren very un pc things. (We have five grandsons and two granddaughters so far, one more on the way). He made them all swords and rifles (out of wood). They love them. When we were babysitting Dylan (the one in the story above) he pointed his gun at Arnold and said 'Say a rude word Granddad'. Arnold replied 'I don't say rude words' (Yeah right(!) ) Dylan said 'Go on, say f******** hell'. Now where did he get that from? I wonder.....

We have great fun with our grandchildren. And it's even greater fun when we give them back. LOL

Since my wife Sian was first pregnant with our daughter Cydney I have been writing to the latter and keeping an account of her life from my perspective.  It's to be a 21st birthday present for her if I make it that long.

It's several hundred pages long already and is full of funny things she's said and done (she was 12 last April).

One favourite (that I can publish) was about 2 years ago when she saw the film "Moulin Rouge".  When she asked what the film was about when she was about to watch it for the first time I responded "It's really a story of how love conquers all".  "Oh I love conkers too daddy" was her swift resply.  Apparently grandchildren are even more fun.

Thats a classic.. gotta love 4yr old's.
My niece's uncle on her dad's side is a cop, so to wind him up his mum, my niece's other gran, would have my niece call him a pig when she would meet him. What ya gonna do, a 4yr old calls you a pig...
This was working a treat and was always funny until my niece was down town with my sister one day, standing in a queue in the post office, when a garda stepped into the queue behind them. Niece starts thugging on my sisters coat, turns around, points at the poor garda and shouts,"Look mum, a pig"
Needless to say the sister was horrified, although the rest of the post office cracked up.
