So Far - Nothing for me yet today but its big shop night tonight so hopefully a trip to the supermarket will bring some fortune
Fevlo, look on the floor all around the checkouts - especially self service. Also look on the floor around the sweets aisle - kids do drop pennies there a fair bit. The alcohol aisle isn't a bad place to look either! :beer:Credit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -
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

Yay! You will find something - look in places it is possible for coins to roll without being easily noticed. I am cheering you on!!! :jAbsolutely diddly squat!
Ah Jevvers, I have a feeling your luck will change before the weekend is done! :beer:
Me? Well hubby and I already have some wombled receipts to report but I'm waiting until I have a total for the day. We are just finishing up dinner and then heading out for a walk/covert coin finding mission!Credit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -

She hunted high, she hunted low... it took a while but I found 1p!!! I had just about given up for the day but found it on my walk back to the car.
Had a giggle to myself though today, I heard a coin dropped on the floor, well my head swivelled round to look for it as quick as. Unfortunately had been claimed by dropper.:pMake £10 a day Jan £0/£3100 -

Hi Dannie! Check post number 8 for your number and welcome to the challenge!
Good question but a weird one for me because I honestly pay no attention to anyone around me. I pick up the coin and keep walking. I don't look to gauge anyone's reaction because I just don't care! I have been this way a long time. Pennies are easy to pick up because you can declare good luck and anything else really is good luck! Most people will stop to pick up a 10p or higher if they spot it. Don't let others stop you reaching your goals - I am sure there were a lot of people who looked down on Steve Jobs at one point!! Let them stay in their negativity......while you increase your cash balance! :ACredit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -

YES!!! Determination!!! I love it!!! I don't consider the day to be successful without finding at least a penny so well done for sticking with it. It will get easier and easier to find them as you get used to looking - my hubby is usually gobsmacked where I can spot them now! But it makes for some good, competitive fun!Credit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -
Evening! Was quite gutted when I went to town and didn't find anything but then as we were getting a taxi home, we opened the door and found 5p sitting on the seat! so 5p to start me off today. Going to the pub tomorrow with my dad so lets hope some drunk people drop their pennies.
