How much cash do you have at your immediate disposal

[FridgeJenga]

Yes, I'm bored.
Waiting in the car for DCs to come out of school so decided to clear out my bag and found my coin purse.
I have exactly £12.75 in cash to my name.

I have - and quite often ...

Actual cash, about 40 quid because a couple of people came for extra lessons in half term. Otherwise, probably a fiver or so in parking change but God knows where. I've cleared out a couple of handbags lately and there wasn't much there!

£6.48p in the side of my backpack 140 thai baht in my passport in the bottom of my bag and 12 yen on top of the fridge.
I should really get it all changed.

£75.05

I have my trolley pound!

£35.00ish

I think I have about 25p. Reckon I could achieve about £15 if I shook the kids down though 😀

Sterling £21.20. £1 in my gym bag for the locker. £20 emergency cash in the a drawer in the hallway. 20p in the bottom of my bag. I also have various foreign coins and notes in the kitchen drawer of doom. Some of the currency is from countries we’ve never visited!

No UK cash, but I do have $900 hidden away.

I have more foreign money that sterling which is a combination of Euros (DH is from mainland Europe so we never bother to change it between visits), Yen (in the hope of returning to Japan one day), USD, Nicaraguan Cordoba (because I've yet to find anywhere yo actually change it) and some Zloty which is too small amount to change.

Actual notes and coins? Very little. I dont really use cash any more and get slightly irritated when I have to, or when someone dumps a load on me.

I found 7 pounds in my bag. So that's that.

£8.80….

Zero. I don’t carry money anymore. I’m not royalty but there’s no need now.

£2.70 in the car. I did have £350 in cash after selling my old phone and when I went to put it in the bank there was only £250 there. Either I have a phrogger or I have a £100 somewhere in the house. I live in hope of coming across it!

Oh yeah, a few € $ Kenyan shilling (from our honeymoon) and some Icelandic Kroner in the safe and a Lake District £5 I bought because it was pretty.

Well i did have £5 in my phone that i have had for months, even maybe a year.
But i spent it yesterday on some colouring books 🤣

So afew coins in the car for parking, so just a couple of quid !

$2.17

Also 2 x 5 Euro notes. I have no idea why - I was convinced I had a 20 pound note.

And some coins I don't recognize.

£9.10 in purse & …
a bag of churchill crowns in a bag somewhere in the house 🤭

Have a five pound note and some loose change in my purse, and probably a fiver or so in change in a pot (mostly 5p and coppers). My DH has a bit in his top drawer - every time the kids ask him to get a nintendo or vbucks voucher they give him cash from their pocket money, which he then keeps (and never gets around to putting in the bank). So he has a couple of hundred i expect. Which would be useful in an emergency if can't use card!

£24.20 - emergency taxi fare/trolley & gym coins
€67.00 - keep forgetting to pop back in my currency file

£7.48
€21.82
$20 Singapore Dollars
$5USD

Bizarrely not 1 coin from the country I actually live in.

EDIE: Tell a lie, just found 257,70dkk

£150 in the drawer for 3 x DN Christmas envelopes and £100 that we keep just in case plus about £5 in my purse.

We have two money boxes in the house for change, one for silver and one for coppers. They weren’t long emptied out and counted so maybe just back to a couple of quid in it. Maybe around a tenner in pound coins between me and DH, we won the bonus ball at our local pub on Saturday so we did have £59 in cash then but it’s been handy for little shop buys and a couple of drinks in the pub. Not sure what my kids have. Most of their money is in bank accounts but we do have family members who gift cash still.

At the moment I have £25 in pennies as I’m saving them up to use on the downstairs loo floor. Also £23 ish in cash in my purse.
