I went on a treasure hunt

I missed that announcement about banks going on strike for two full days. My cash flow in the house had reached bottom. We have cash transactions on a daily basis.
I went a hunting and dug into every source in the house - cupboards, bags, purses the works and managed to collect some cash that helped me tide over emergencies.
How could I not buy biscuits for our pet and that was sure an emergency.
Moral of the story. Always have money tucked in in every nook and corner.

I did withdraw some money on 29.But when I did that I was not thinking about the strike.

I normally withdraw middle of the month but since I had some cash remaining I postponed it.

@allknowing I think,it would be a good habit to hide some money here and there in our home.

@JudyEv I found them in my bags and purses and also some on the dining table as that is where I deal with cash when I give it to our maid to buy things.

Could you believe that is my habit and ypu can see invariably some money lying around me all the while as that is my habit to empty my pockets as I enter my place. This habit is known to my helpers too and they also make no mischief with this! I totally forgotten about the Bank strike...thanks for reminding me! ATM bunks are also made on functional I think theyb are run by different agencies than the Banks! Thanks!

I told someone that wants to come live here to make sure she has money for emergenies. It is good to have money for things like this that happen.
