I hate change...

Lotus

... I'm not talking about the "now something's different" type of change but the coins that make my purse heavy, never seem to be the right amount to pay for what I need in the shop, so I have to pay by card or break up a note and get even more change, and I because I have OCD I have to wash my hands after handling them.

  • I never seem to be able to keep hold of change.

    I have kids, and my youngest is very enterprising, she likes to do things like set up tattoo shops (she uses watercolour pencils) and does some artwork on your arm, but it costs 10p. I normally get a few and then have to cover my husband too. Or she held a winter olympics competition, where you had to pay to enter, which would go to the prize pot. Or she'll make little paper fans and set up a shop to sell them to you. All the change is in her various piggy banks. Anything bigger, like £1 coins, well there has been a lot of wobbly teeth between the two of them. 

    So no change here!
