The "Every Penny's a Prisoner" Thread

Pearla*Merle

Finally managed to start getting out of the house thanks to a pesky flu, and yesterday took a couple of bus trips up around a new part of town Mr Merle & I are considering moving to (scoping out the area from the top deck was quite a fun exercise!). Found 5p on one bus, 1p on another - obviously that part of town is full of wealthy types keen to thrown their change away! :T Reckon that'll do quite nicely. :rotfl:

Good Morning

Flis21 - I hope you managed to find your hamster. We had one that lived under the bath for three months there was no way we were going to pull the bath panels off to find it so we had to wait til it came down the pipes again and to the huge pile of tempting food in the kitchen

No real pennies captured yesterday but I went to Maccy D's and to cut a long story short ended up with a meal and a full refund So I suppose you could say those 1138 pennies are still locked away.

Have a great Tuesday x x

:eek: to the hamster - I hope it emerges okay! Having had a series of hamsters over the years, including escapees, it seems the younger they were, the harder they were to capture as the older ones came when chirped at as they thought there was food for them!

You can get animal-friendly traps or a wide-necked jar with food in to try to lure the hammie, or borrow an opposite-sex hamster and see if that works. (Apparently it's good - never had to try it so far).

I've saved 184p on shopping, 5p on clubcard points and 1000p from my lesson being cancelled. :j:j

No other prisoners taken but I am still being very vigilant.

Have a great Wednesday x x
