    Hi everyone

    Captured another 6 pennies of roadkill today. Also remembered to use a 10% of code I had when ordering birthday flowers for my Mum and to go through a cashback site so at least 400 pennies saved there.

    And another penny of roadkill for me today. I must say, I thought with the current economic situation people would be more careful with their money but I seem to be finding more roadkill than ever.

    And another penny of roadkill - literally feeling like I'm tracking these pennies one at a time and capturing them into the change jar.

    2 cents captured in the car park at work this morning! A bit rusty looking but will give it a shine up!
