  • nothing to report so far as on nights, unless I manage to find someones forgotten change in the vending machines.

    3 breaks per shift x 6 vending machines to search = a find (well hopefully).

    Sorry Shelbi, the rule is that it has to be money that is found outside of your home or car - that truly wasn't yours to begin with if that makes sense. Keep scanning! Hubby and I just sold a metal detector a couple of months ago and are regretting it now!

    Well, I can tell you the A$da is not so good at 11pm at night! But we did find one receipt that was womblable(???) and scored an additional 28p!

    Another 50p found; that makes two this month. 50p's seem more "wow" but it all adds up.

  • Nothing yesterday, my first day this month without any finds. Off to town later so will keep scanning the pavements. I do at least one little walk a day now solely to find money, so Saver-upper you're not alone! I'd recommend going near the bars/pubs area in your town centre in the evening or early morning as I found £3 doing this before, hidden on the dark pavement, thank you careless drunk people. :)

    :) 25p find in work last night- my 2nd job is working on functions at a hotel and the evenings / weekends- front of the bar is always a good palce to look.

    39p in 8 days- me happy :rotfl:

    It's not about getting what you want, It's about wanting what you get.
  • Well I'm up and about after compling my last 12 night shift of the week, finally a weekend off. :j

    Well lasts nights tour of the works vending machines turned nothing up, so I was signing in with nothing to report, that was, until I was having a last minute brush up before before clocking off for the end of shift I can across a nice shiny 5p under one of my machines, so my monthly total so far now stands @ £1.13.

    Off to get ready now as I have to go pick up a few bits so I can carry on with renovating our kitchen, first stop B&Q, lets hope I find something there.
