    A very shiny 1p from last week but nothing else since. Someone must be sweeping through the same area I'm looking, no other explanation! :) Signature to be updated.

    I am not part of this challenge, but wanted to ask a question...

    I parked up at a supermarket this evening, got out of the car, and found a £20 note on the floor!

    I looked around to see if anyone was looking on the floor for something (in case someone had just dropped it), but my half of the carpark was empty, nobody around, and the note was damp (it had obviously been on the floor for a while, and was all crumpled)...so i picked it up and put it in my pocket. Was this the right thing to do? I have never found a £20 note on the floor before and feel slightly guilty for picking it up.

    I think it was ok for you to pick it up, especially as there was no-one obviously looking for it. I would just treat it as good karma that you must have been due :)

    Found 1p today...it all helps.
