    2 pennies rescued from behind the chest of drwaers in the spare bedroom when I was cleaning, not a fortune but they're among friends now ;)

    Blimmin' pennies are being very elusive for me at the moment.
    I haven't incarcerated any for ages now :mad: but I enjoy reading about everyone elses captures :)

    Captured 198 pennies in Sainsbugs filling station this morning! I reckon they'd all got together for a penny concealment convention, but I found them, hehe :D
  • Wow, Sparrer! That's some good going! :rotfl: on the convention though, I wonder if they hold any regional meetings around here?

    Mr Merle presented me with 30 pennies this morning, heroically rescued from pockets before being surely drowned in the washing machine. They're now safely housed in my fat cat piggy bank, and have been added to my kitty fund total (all prisoners are going to sacrifice themselves to my desire of owning a pet cat ;)) x

    Hi everyone

    Found 5p on the walk to work yesterday and got 245 pennies into my Paypal account the other day from one of my cashback sites but haven't been around to post for a day or two. All safely tucked away now.

    Lying on the floor at Pilates class last night and I could see 20c (cos I'm in Rep Ireland and it's all yoyo's and cents here) hiding up against the skirting board! All I could could think was "every penny's a prisoner" but wasn't near enough to capture them!! Next week I'll be putting my mat within grabbing distance and it's mine!!

    :rotfl:This is what I like about this thread - the lengths we will go to to snaffle those pennies!
