    Hiya pammy,
    I call it road change, others call it road kill, I put my found change into a seperate pot, and on 1st April each year, I pay it towards a debt, the way I look at it is, someone else is paying towards my debt :D, I found £53.07 last year ;)

    wow that much is amazing to 'find'!! I dont even think to look on the floor! and I dont walk dogs so wouldnt find that much, its amazing to have found that much last year.

    Had some odd change at the bottom of my bag and have added it to the pot, was about £1.30 I think.
    worked out if I want to reach a target of £100 then I need to put on average 28p a day or £1.93 a week or £8.34 a month. :D

    As I dont use cash very often and am trying to have a few NSD I'm not sure I will have much change but I am giving it a good go :)

    When I went to Sainsburys shopping this week I treat my hubby to some iced topped mince pies, when I got home the date on them was the 30th OCTOBER! :eek:

    I rang and it was the deputy mananger I spoke to....he said don't return the product (so we're eating them, they're fine) but next time you're in show the receipt and we'll sort it out. Today I went in, they gave me my money back and two free packets to apologise. Does anyone know anywhere that has out dated food I can buy? :confused: LOL!

    :j ANYHOWS the returned money is now residing in my pot. Yaaaaaay! :j

    AND please if my behaviour offends you let Mummy Sue know.
    I want my naughty spot back!
    :T
    I don't get to come on here too often.
    Too buzy money saving!
    :D
