    On Friday the 5th of May the paper £5 note ceases to be legal tender.

    It's time to check down the back of the sofa :snork:

    After the 5th you can still redeem them but only by sending them to the Bank of England.

    Edit: After the 5th you can save yourself trouble and just send them to me. :dbgrtmb:

        You think you have them stuffed under your mattress but do you remember the other day when you went out and left your window open? :whistle:

            Don't forget to check kids money boxes. We emptied our kids over Easter to put in bank and they had a few in theirs.

                I don't suppose they'll be interested in a Clydesdale Bank fiver @shiney. :snorky:

                If your mattress is stuffed full of those @HarryS they're probably worth a fortune! :biggrin:

                While we're on the subject, the new fivers along with the new £1 coins recently released have already been forged.

                  I should feel guilty but I don't.
