  • I love it when that happens! Seriously, before I found this website, I wouldn't have cared how many pound coins I had lying about different places, but now I'm ecstatic every time I find 20p on the floor! You've turned me mad! :D

    I spotted 5p in the middle of the busy road I was crossing with my son doing the school run this morning. I literally had to fight the urge to pick it up, because I'm trying to teach my son about road safety, and the other day he dropped something and I made him carry on crossing. Once he was safely on the pavement I then went back and picked it up for him. I was making the point that his safety was much more important than the toy he dropped. But I couldn't do that today because the crossing lady was there and I would have been embarrassed! I really wanted that 5p though!!! What's happening to me????? :)
