    Spotted 20 pennies on the floor in OHs bedroom today. I left it there and went to ask him if I could have it. He gave me 40 pennies in return as good karma for not snaffling it straight away without asking :)

    Been a bit rubbish at posting on here in the last week or so but have been finding the pennies in dribs and drabs on the way to work and sometimes at work. Think the total for last week was 17 pennies :O)
    Everything is ok in the end. If it's not ok, then it's not the end:)

  • Tell me about it freeby, I'm still waiting on 90 pennies that were tracked on there last April! :eek:

    Found a random penny amongst everything dumped on the dining table, and another lost soul kicking around my bag. Nice start to the day! x

    :rotfl:It's like the twenty pennies shopped in their mates as well, and now everyone's off to prison....

    35 pennies caught and hauled back in, to spend life, in the pot :D...

    Keep catching those pennies everyone. We can't have them roaming around on the loose, can we :rotfl: :D :rotfl:?

    5 pennies found in the car when I was taking all my belongings out ready to scrap the car.

    Lucky escape for those 5 pennies, although they may not be so thankful spending life in my jar!

    Somebody left a penny on a table in Costa this afternoon. I assumed it wasn't left as a tip so I took it for the pot!
