Jingle jangle, jingle jangle - it does my head in. I'm talking about coins and all the shrapnel you collect in your pockets.
The traders try to make us feel things are cheap by pricing everything at £3.99 or £4.99 which means you keep getting a penny change.
Like most men, I drop my coins in a little tray at night and then stick it all back in my pocket the next morning and off I go, jingle jangling down the street.
Well not any more. Now I have two coin trays. I put all the small change in one and the serious stuff in the other. As soon as the small coins add up to 10p I take them out and spend them.
Why has it taken me over half a century to think of doing this?
I pay £1.30 to play table tennis so sometimes I pay with a £1 coin, a 20p coin and ten 1p coins.
They must be so glad to have the small change from me occasionally don't you think?
In for a penny, in for a pound.. I really don't know what that means but is what came to my mind LOL
