    Not been able to get on to post for a few days but back online now and can report roadkill finds of 26p in the last few days, plus snaffled 7p of small change from OH to the change jar - he really should know better than to leave it lying around.

    2p hiding in the bottom of the vacuum cleaner... found when I hoovered up the window key! :)

    Living in Yorkshire, I shouldn't be surprised: where there's muck there's brass. :D

    Hi everyone,

    Not been lucky with any finds for a while until I found 20 pence at the supermarket today. Also received a £10 supermarket voucher from a survey site so used that as well and thought I was on a roll until they wouldn't take the £3 of luncheon vouchers I had from another site. Still, I know I can use them at Mr T's next week!

    This is only the second year I have kept track of the amount of roadkill I have found and I 've already done better than last year. Also I've gained more money that way than from my (admittedly meagre) savings! No wonder I walk to work with my eyes glued to the floor:rotfl:

    Good catch kitchenbunny on the pound.
