    some kind person left 2p on the floor in front of my locker and as I bent to pick it up I spotted 5p under my locker. They're now both safely in my piggy along with the 20p I found walking home!

    Good Morning :)

    I've not been here for ages :o mainly because things have just been plodding away and I haven't managed to capture any missing pennies.....

    but......

    today I have got 33,000 extra pennies in my bank account that I wasn't expecting :T

    Made the waiting all worthwhile :)


    Have a great Friday x x

    Well it seemed to work for me!!

    Am saving a lot of pennies on food and petrol now too, so its a very MSE way of capturing pennies!

    Now, have I taken my penny capturing too far? I was walking towards a cash machine today when a man pulled out his wallet and 10p fell out. He saw it land on the floor but didn't bother picking it up. I snaffled it once I got to the cash machine and he had gone, but now I am feeling guilty that I didn't shout him or something. He definitely saw it fall on the floor though.

    Today i was stood by the cash machine when I felt something land on my foot, I looked down at the same time as my 5 year old, we both saw the penny. I looked at her she looked at me, I gave her the nod she grabbed it quick. WHO could EVER argue with a 5 year old.

    Is that wrong ??? :)
