    Ok. A question. Where do you all find money/ roadkill?

    I found 50p in 1976 which I guess was like £5 now and my mum made me split it with my brother but other than that I have never found any money. Where am I going wrong?

    A friends child did find about £15 walking around my house once but that is because my husband never spends anything less than 50p. Does money in my house count? But it's not really new money.

    And another question. Too soon to list Christmas stuff on ebay or not?

    I was wondering if I can count expences if I pay them directly off my credit card. it's money I have spent so not sure if it will be classed as cheating??

    I am like you please delete I never find money ever and if i do spot a rusty old penny it's stuck to the floor with chewing gum. I am in awe that you have managed nearly £660 and we are still on day 1!!
    I don't think it's ever to early to sell christmas stuff.

    Ok. A question. Where do you all find money/ roadkill?

    everywhere! I walk with my head down, scouring the pavements. also DS has got into the habit and being a little shorter than me, looks everywhere and usually finds a penny or 2p and brings it to me.

    I found 2p in the supermarket the other day on the floor, my first for this month is 2p that I found on the floor on the way to the shop.

    My DS found money in the gumball machine, people have found money left in the trolleys at supermarkets. My DH is terrible for doing that. When we used to have to get a cab home, he would just push the trolley to one side, leaving the £1 in it :mad:

    Lately I have been finding money around the house, and I have claimed it... :rotfl: if DH leaves loose change in his trousers when they are going for washing, they are mine....

    even DS claimed all his Daddy's change once and went shopping with it..... :rotfl:

    Hi

    Have got aload of stuff on ebay doing well and some auctions finished but I have decided not to add this and top cash back / survey money to my total til its cleared all fees etc paid and I can use it.

    So today is £1 I found on my bedroom floor guess DH dropped it but now its mine and he would have only spent it on rubbish well thats my justification lol !!!:rotfl:

    Morning
    Yesterday I got £2.92 from eb*ay and 0.33 from the Asda price guarantee.

    I also used £2.50 worth of game reward points towards buying my Ds ANOTHER XBOX headset which I see this morning has already been snapped, though hopefully it still works:mad:. Between being a rubbish product and not being looked after very well it doesn't stand a chance!
    Anyway my total is £5.75.
    Must do some more listing today....
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.
