Wednesday – a walk around town with my little brother and sister. I’ve been looking after them for a week and it has cost me literally hundreds of pounds. My brother went some way to recouping my losses, by finding a 2p slotted between some cobbles in an alleyway. Only another 14,999 to find and I’ve broken even.
On Friday, a 20p came from Nix, who found it next to the ticket machine at Earlsfield station. She tells me she’d been tempted to keep it because she’d had to raid her copper jar to buy a loaf of bread, but didn’t. Now that’s the kind of dedicated soldier you want in your platoon.
Friday – some post arrived at work. I’ve never received anything at work, I'm not one of the important people who get mail. I was completely intrigued.
And inside the padded envelope was a business card, from a lady called Louise at UK Recruiter. I flipped it over to find this...
I couldn't believe it! The courage and sacrifice of this mother was the highlight of my week. If he's reading this, I just hope he understands.
Week Seventeen
How much found: 27p
Total found so far: £10.91
