    This challenge has turned me into a monster, I spotted 10p on the ground this morning and nearly knocked my son over trying to get it. It was frozen to the pavement but I couldn't leave it.:o:rotfl:

    Only managed about about £1 so far this week but off to the post office in a bit so hopefully should have some change :T
