Feeling surprisingly well off this afternoon - think its the realisation that the boy is gone south and I don't have to treat him to meals and afternoons at the cinema this week - although I'd swop any money in the world for him to still be here! So emptied my purse again leaving only the pounds.

Thanks for your explanations of road kill everyone..... never thought of that! I do occasionally find the odd 1p or 2p on the pavements but feel too embarrassed to bend down and pick it up! I find quite a lot of small change in my daughter's car.... they seem to chuck odd coins on the floor and forget about them. Also find a few down the back of the settee now and again... all these will in future go in my sealed pot.

Found a £1 coin on the floor in M&S today so put that along with my usual £1 in the sealed pot.

Also put 49p change in the shrapnel jar. :beer:

Just found a £1 in my penny bottle, and OH threw 50p at me, so both in the new sealed pot, along with 5 x 20ps left from bagging the last year's money

I can't believe I have not heard of this until here- definately joining- not sure how much I will raise so I'm going to aim for £100 this year and see what I get.
Please add me to the list.

If you're both patient, Sue will be on line later, she's in charge so she will allocate you your membership numbers, when you get them can you pop them into your signatures for us, as it makess life easier when we do the overall total at the end of the challenge, there's no need to rejoin, you just carry on into each challenge with the same number, welcome to the challenge, enjoy the banter and more importantly enjoy saving

Morning loopychris,
Last year I picked up £53.07 in road change, this goes into a seperate pot and every 1st April I pay a bill with it, that way I look that some-one else has paid towards my debt , schoolkids are the best source of this kind of change, they don't seem to like having it in their pockets
