    Excellent miss empty piggy, I would have got down on my knees, and held it aloft for all to see, while shouting.."every penny's a prisoner"..:D

    The wife tackled and detained a touchy ten pennies today - they really not safe out there, best for them to stay near my Sealed Pot :j...

    Found 23p abandoned in the kitchen yesterday and a further 5p today. Odd, but obviously should not have been out on their own and this has been rectified.

    Also saved 131 on discounted groceries.

    159 pennies altogether.

    And another 20 pennies of roadkill found today on the walk to work, the best I've done for a while :). Duly rounded up and put to good use.
