    Oh dear don't think this will be my best challenge.

    Firstly this week has been a bit of a write off, my little man (5months old) has been really poorly so we haven't been out, my mum sat with him and I popped to the shops but no luck. So my practice week has resulted in zero pennies. Booooo.

    And because I'm on maternity leave I'm really trying not to go out too much, but will keep my eyes peeled when I do my food shop and Xmas shopping.

    Good luck everyone.

    Laughing!! Okay, read your name and then reread your post!!! :rotfl: Do not let the last week set you up for a bad week coming - there is DEFINITELY money to be found. I promise you! Expect to find it and you will. Positive thinking is crucial and it will only get better on the countdown to Christmas. :A

    Honestly laughed out loud!!! I can see you are going to be some stiff competition.......:D
    Hey Hok3y, after reading your diary over the last week I am facinated by your roadkill... So much so I have a 'thing' about looking on the floor now :rotfl: Can I join your Rebels? Not sure how much I will find as I shop very little and am tied to my car, however I am in! :j

    Hiya pap! Lovely to 'see' you here! It has been a bumper month for roadkill, even for me. I have found a total of £17.01 from Oct 1st through to today. If I can repeat that in November, I will be gobsmacked! Yes, you can most definitely join the rebels but I can't guarantee their behaviour.....:D I'll hop back to post number 8 and give you a rebel number.......*HOK3Y exits stage right*

    I'm so pleased that I just found this thread, I've been obsessed with picking up coins for years. People I'm with seem to hate it when I suddenly swoop down to grab a coin.

    My best coin spotting locations are train stations (especially at night when people have had too much to drink), my university, bus stops, supermarkets and underneath trees in my local Park.

    If it isn't too late, please may I join in the November challenge?

    Have got quite good at "bending" to fiddle with my shoes if other parents around - dont want to embarress dd's, but I couldnt let that penny pass me by!
    It's not about getting what you want, It's about wanting what you get.

    Thanks for adding me to the list HOK3Y :)

    I'm already planning the best route to walk to my local shops later.

  • 2p at the station at 7:50 am, do I win? ;) I had a bonanza find last night in town, a £2 coin and a £1 coin, (must have been the drinkers), making October's total £4.89. Good luck everyone!
