Big Money!

My daughter needs a pound for school.

I give her a pound coin and tell her to put it safe ready for the morning.

Morning comes and as usual, bleary eyed, the hustle and bustle of school preparation begins.

I hear the school bus arrive, and with a flurry of activity, the kids are ushered out of the cottage.

Now i might be able to chill for five minutes before the household duties need to be done.

I turn to sit down and on the table i see the pound coin staring at me. It's like a moment from Alice in Wonderland, it's ten times the size it should be and dazzles me in the sunlight. I try to pick it up, but no amount of super human strength is going to shift this big money!
