Ooohh just found the wedding planning pages
I see that you have on the list that you need a penny for Minnie's shoe... well as you all know the coin is meant to be a silver six pence...
Last weekend I went to a victorian village museum with my parents and my grandma. They have a thing similar to disney dollars where you can exchange real money into victorian money to spend in the shops there. So I went into the bank and asked the cashier for a sixpence. Now the museum actually make all of the coins themselves (as old coins are rare and expensive so there wouldn't be enough of them to use) and they don't make sixpences just yet. So instead I got a silver thrupence (three pence). I know it's not quite right but it has a picture of the black horse from Lloyds Bank on the back which is the bank that I work for and as I can't be there for the big day I'd be touched if Minnie would have it in her shoe.
Vicki could you pm me your address so that I can send the silver thrupence to Minnie?
Oh and the funniest tale from the day is that my mum asked why I needed a sixpence and I told her that my "friend" was getting married and wanted one for her shoe! I think if I'd told her it was a stuffie she'd think I'd gone
