The two pound coins are especially manky, if that affects your suggestions at all.

Glue them to an excessively large canvas, title it "The trickle down from the billionaire's wealth. Found behind my couch" and sell it for a couple hundred grand to an art gallery.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

See I did like the charity suggestion. But a couple hundred grand is a lot more charity, so you might win.

Put it in an old coat pocket and be surprised next year when you put it on and find extra change in it.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Haha, a treat for my future self? She likes the way you think!

It's your lucky day! Invest it on a lotto ticket 😂

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TIL they're two quid now?! Wtf

[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Euromillions is still £1 a ticket at least

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That seems like the smart money!*

Hah, look at Mr. Moneybags bragging about his wealth!

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mrs.* her*

Sorry. Gotta fight the assumptions. Guilty as accused on the bragging though.

[–] sweetchildintime@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

My profuse apologies, Mrs Tea I will endeavour to be gender neutral in any further insults.

I can give you an apple or half a stamp. Best I can do.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

How to choose!

[–] peg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Conservative Party membership.

Nah, only kidding.

Put it towards your energy bill and hope your can afford to keep warm this winter.

[–] JTheDoc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Go to Wilko, see what tat they still have left over from closing down.

It being good value at a huge discount is still not guaranteed.

Ooh those do look lush although...weird flavour choice there when sour cherry & apple was an option!

I liked the idea of donating to the food bank but wait...

What if you spent it on seeds? Like onions, carrot etc. Grow them then donate that to the food bank. Rinse and repeat

[–] dedido@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Couple of pumpkins!
Then carve them like turkeys.

[–] 3arn0wl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Give it to someone with a greater need than you?

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well this is an unexpectedly wholesome suggestion and now how can we use it for anything else?

Could pop a fair bit of stuff in the foodbank collection for this, you're not wrong!

[–] 3arn0wl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lovely idea

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Get a Mr. Whippy, most are still below £3

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hmm, how much does a flake set you back these days?
