        I like counting the penny jar too. It's amazing how much you can accumulate without even thinking about it.

        We have a £2 jar too - that soon adds up.

                      but that you really enjoy doing ?

                      I spent two hours today, emptying out the penny cider bottle on the living room floor, then sorting out the pennies, twos, fives , twentys, fiftys and pounds.

                      It's funny, but I sarted looking at how same coin seemed to be forms clumps, and sometimes ordered in the same plane and direction. Pure chance maybe, but its nice to have something out of the ordinary to think about now and then. Plus I had an episode of 'game of thrones' on.
                      I can remember every line of the dialogue and storyline, almost as if my senses were heightened, even though I was engaged in this other task.



                      Yes? How much?

                      I had £145 in my scotch bottle once.

                      My kids used to love counting it, as I split it 50% to me and 12.5% to each of them.
                      Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.
