Linky goes to last weeks poll for me?????

Stinkybell

why would anybody (who is able!) not bend? Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves...

I would definitely get the 2p. I need the money so I would definitely grab it.

Best place to find money IMO is by a bar of a pub or club!

Back seat of a taxi for me, can be worth more than the fare.

i drop pennies on the floor on purpose so i can laugh at the poor people who pick them up:rotfl:

I find money all the time. Collected around £20 in change etc within 3 months. Half to charity, and split the rest between my two kids. Since I emptied the caddy I put the change in, about the beginning of December got about £6 in it already, majority of it £1 coins too.

Currently stands at £9.08 since start of December this year.

I wouldn't notice it under all this snow and ice.

I've put 10p - I'd be lucky to see anything smaller, so might miss a 20p!
