sneakily?

"husband. I found a fiver in your pocket and I'm having it"

"ok"

is how it normally goes in our house.

or
"I'm sure I had a tenner in my wallet."
"Yeah, you did. I nicked it."
"oh"

Any money I find becomes mine in this house.

Similar to Hecate except it's more....

"Husband, I found a fiver in your pocket and I spent it" Grin

Same as Hec here.

" I washed your jeans, I've left the screws on the windowsill"
" What about the £20 in my pocket?"
" Yes, I found that too. Thanks Grin "

All money I wash is automatically mine. Everyone else has been told, many times, that this is so.

YANBU to keep it but YABU to bother being sneaky about it. Grin

Surely it is laundry-doers perks?

Not to mention a good incentive for others to empty their own pockets before sticking stuff in the laundry basket?

SecretPlansAndCleverTricks · 10/07/2012 16:52

Um.... i'd give it back, because I have my own money.

mollymole · 10/07/2012 16:55

any money found whilst doing your household chores is your tip for doing the work

pjmama · 10/07/2012 16:56

Any money the washing machine spits out is the property of the finder... I am not a pocket checker!
