Groceries

For approximately the last three months, I have been gently asking Julian to do something with the growing pile of change in our home. Julian has a wallet which does not have a change compartment, so he just brings home the change and leaves it various piles around the house. Sometimes I dip into it for a coffee, or bus fare, but I can't keep up with the growth. So today he repaid me for three months of "gentle reminders" - by paying for our groceries with $61 worth of change including several hundred pennies. Peter and I will be waiting at least a week before we show our faces there again!

Hi Hilary! Great to see that you are updating your blog! But I would love to see soon new pictures of Peter!

We had a jar in the kitchen and it was filled with changed. I put it in a plastic bag and slowly also got filled. I brought that bag to the bank before we left for vacation (they have this machines which counts your coins and they transfer the total amount to your account) and after some long minutes I thought I was not reading right when I saw 324CAD!!!! We loved to have that extra cash in our vacation! We’ll intend to do that again when we get back home.
