I hid £100 in a book and now can't find it.

A few months ago I hid £100 in book which I wanted to save for a rainy day and now I've forgotten which book I put it in.So happens I'm bit broke right now and could really use that money.Trouble is I have over a thousand books and don't know where to start looking for it.I really haven't got the energy.Am I just over - privileged or would you personally tear through all your books trying to find it?

 

I'd sell 900 of those books if I really needed money.

 

Yeah man.I'm selling my CDs,because they are disposable crap.But my my book collection is kind of sacred to me.I will never sell those.

 

I'm not totally broke,just could do with a bit of extra cash.

 

I've done this numerous times. I think theres still over fifty bucks hidden in my shelves.

 

Well,it's going to have a hard cover,plus it has to be big enough to conceal a £20 note....so you've narrowed it down.
Then-you know the books it definitely ISN'T...so that narrows it further.

Ok-just 50-or so possibles.

Now-'a few months ago' was circa New Year/Christmas...any bells ringing yet,Fairlight?


[Christmas....bells...y'see wot I did there?]

 

You really are the master of first world problems :sunny:

 

I do occasionally pick books from my shelves thinking "Would it be this one?".Last one was Oliver Sacks "The Man Who mistook His Wife for a Hat."...

 

Oh no! Surely the book wouldn't close so well? I do do this, but I always forget about it, then money just turns up when I least expect it and its all good.

Plus I call dibs on your book collection!

 

Maybe when the executers of my estate donate all my books to a charity shop,some lucky bleeder will find the book with the cash in it.I wait for that person's lucky smile.But then ~I'm sure £100 will be worth a lot less by then - If I make it to 60.

 

Can I call dibs on your book collection already?

 

What does "dibs" mean.Please explain?

 

From wiki:

 

I will leave them to you in my will.Pm me details.Of course,you never know.I might outlive you...

 

Too late, already called it

 

The details would include that you don't search your books for valuable content from now on

Man, how did i miss that? Probably read it subconsciously Can I at least get Oliver Sacks "The Man Who mistook His Wife for a Hat"? It sounds mighty intruiging :biggrin:

 

Sometimes my touchscreen gets a little greasy from my fingers and it makes it hard to see in the glare of the sun.


I'm sorry, what were you saying?

 

I was saying you MUST remember the napkin when you sit munching KFC as you worry about 3rd-world food problems,Luna!

 

Speaking of third world food.. There's no better way to get dysentery than eating KFC..

 

Really? Dysentery?


.....and you wonder what made your touchscreen greasy,bro?
