Saved 50p off the shopping and wombled 44p. Go me.

P.S. def going to haunt the trolleys now if there might be an envelope with £50 in one!

Walking home tonight, spotted a lost and lonely looking penny on the pavement - thought it was only kind to pick it up and bring it home to meet some of its friends in the change jar

I wish there was such a thing as anti-pickpockets - although did you hear about that man over Christmas putting envelopes in peoples trolleys at tesco that had £50 in them?

Why was he doing that? I would love to be rich so I could do random acts of kindness like that! Although I guess even now I could do random acts of kindness if I put my mind to it. I think that may be my next task, if I dont have a NSD or imprison any pennies then I have to do a random act of kindness instead

Just thought i'd add.. since joining the site a few days ago, i have been interested in a few of the challenges on here and got me thinking.. i'v only just started being "responsible" with my money and taking control of my debts... and one thing that has started bothering me is the fact i always find pennies lying around the house!!

so today i went around and collected them all! i captured 786 of the little !!!!!!s!! and i'm sure theres more to come!

now.... where's the rest of you.........

Did a Role Call tonight and have 2800 pennies which are being considered for parole as part of celebrations for MROH's (My Royal Other Half :rotfl:!!) impending birthday.

Found 35 pennies yesterday but they'll have to do some time yet ....

I found a penny on the stairs today - I actually said out loud "every penny's a prisoner", my friend just shook her head!!! I love this thread.

Saved another 500 pennies yesterday by getting a code for free delivery on my next Mr A order I had actually booked a cheaper delivery time but when I got to checkout and they offered me the code I went back and changed to a more expensive time and I didn't think 'ohhhh good an extra £5 for more shopping' I had everything I needed so it's another fiver tucked away in my bank account

And another 190 pennies in my paypal account for another ebay sale

So 690 pennies altogether not found any road kill for ages though even though I walk with my eyes permanently on the ground now, it's a wonder there hasn't been any incidents with lamp posts:rotfl:

Well Done jet9cat, as a responsible and caring Penny Warder, you cannot leave pennies on the street to fend for themselves...:)

It's better for all concerned that it be taken into "protective custody"
