Title: What do you put your money in
Post by: windowwashers on October 04, 2007, 09:56:24 am: Hi all, Just wondering what everyone else uses when they collect payments during the day, Me and lads use bumbags.

I guess you invested in April 2002?

Stock market investments are for a longer term view, say ten years

In recent years you would have been very unlucky (or chose the wrong investments) not to have doubled your initial investment over the last five years.

Title: Re: What do you put your money in
Post by: Jon-scwindows on February 04, 2008, 05:48:20 pm: i find if i keep it in my pocket the notes fly out and the coins roll out down the back of the seat every time you go to the next customer

could just be my laid back driving seat position... best to keep the money on you though so theres no chance of anyone steeling it from your vehicle...

Hi Nel,
Needed to add 2 x 10p pieces to our floats as customers would pay the last 50p of the bill in 3 x 20p pieces. Now we have got them they have been in the float for months and we have never used them. ;D ;D ;D
