    I've never been too keen on the self-service checkouts, but if the "unexpected item in the bagging area" is a coin (or even better a note!!) they will go up in my estimation hugely!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh HM, you are going to learn to LOVE self checkout! I promise you!

    Hi HOK3Y and everyone else :)

    I'd love to join please. Can't promise I will find much, but the challenge will encourage me to look more. I'm actually going into hospital next week, so might see what I can find around there. I'm sure there must be some roadkill in the corridors!

    Hiya Emzilla! :wave: I am sure there will be a few pennies hiding out there for you to snag. Take it slow and easy - sending much love and best wishes to you. x

  • Woohoo! My first practice run courtesy of asda car park hailed 16p!
    And after my first find of a shiny 10p, I didnt even feel an idiot walking the long way around to the entrance! lol x
    It's not about getting what you want, It's about wanting what you get.

    Whoop! Yep sign me up, I don't find road kill very often but I do seem to find a fiver in a puddle once a year. :)
  • Hi. Can I join too please? I need some inspiration at the star of my debt free journey and I think this will help nicely :)

    Great idea Hok3y - can I join in please. I've found a few bits and pieces in roadkill since I started SPC-ing this year - money I would never have dreamed if picking up before!

    I'm not terribly successful at it but looking forward to the challenge :money:
