100 pennies discovered on the bathroom floor suspecting escape from OH uniform trousers ( btw to clarify this was in the shape of a pound , I reckon he might have noticed if 100 pennies had made a break for freedom :rotfl:)

Just took a wander to the post office to post ebay parcels and found a lovely shiney 20p looking for a loving home
I have placed it in my 'dross jar' where it can make friends with all the other re-homed pennies.Free by FiftyDebt of the Moment -August NSD Challenge 14/150 -
Hmmm, Longships, I'm struggling with that one too. Like you, I've had a few small wins but nothing to write home about. I can't really afford to do the lottery, but . . . :undecided Maybe a compromise is needed, one lotto and one euro millions ticket a week/month? I might try that, at the moment I can't quite go cold turkey on the thought that it might be meSealed pot challenge no 1521

I made a whole 2 pennies on a survey today. But then I went and spent 896 pennies on food this evening with my friend. I am justifying it as it was for a post break-up moan though!0

I started collecting £2 coins about three months ago because a friend of mine told me that she did this, and it was quite addictive. I was moaning to her the other day that I only had about five £2 coins, and she looked at me in disbelief and said "I collect 2p pieces, not £2 coins"!! So that's why she is so addicted! In five days I have "re-homed" ten 2p pieces, and yes, it is addictive!0

Oooh today is a good day! 300 pennies in petrol vouchers appeared in the post, hopefully a NSD too, and I am picking up a freezer off freecycle this evening. Things are looking up!0

300 pennies winging their merry way from p*yp@l following a survey yesterday however that will not really compensate for the 1975 pennies that I have just spent on an iPad cover today will it?!
