Hi everyone
Captured another 6 pennies of roadkill today. Also remembered to use a 10% of code I had when ordering birthday flowers for my Mum and to go through a cashback site so at least 400 pennies saved there.Every penny's a prisoner

And another penny of roadkill for me today. I must say, I thought with the current economic situation people would be more careful with their money but I seem to be finding more roadkill than ever.Every penny's a prisoner
