    OH MY!!! Welcome, welcome to all our new roadkill rebels! :D Your numbers are in post 8 so do go back and look for them. Feel free to use them in your signature if you want but definitely use them to report back at the end of November with your total for the month - really excited to total up what we have scooped from the streets as a group!

    Saver-upper I am proud of you! Well done! :beer:

    kayester, yes it is and being married to a Mississippi boy I have heard enough stories to last me a lifetime. I will do a lot of things to save money but it will be a cold day in h*ll when anything appears on my dining table that has died by tyre.....!!! It's where I draw the line!

    Emzilla, had to share with you that I took an unexpected trip to our local hospital today (I'm fine!) and I purposefully walked around the vending machines - 20p was my reward so yes there are pennies in hospitals! :D

    Counting the days down to November 1st - I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to this challenge!

    I'll definitely be looking around then!! Any excuse to get out of the ward. There are quite a few shops there too, so will peruse them. If I'm allowed outside, the parking machines might be lucrative too.

    Hi Rebecca and thanks for joining in the fun! So cool that your son is helping. They have good eyes and are a lot closer to the floor than us old fogies!! :D My kids are both teenagers but they do love challenging me with finds when we all go out for the day. They definitely appreciate a penny found!

    Very interested to see what we end up with. Think we might surprise ourselves. I'm also hoping for some new inspiration on places to look and I'm sure all the stories of our finds will spur us on. Looking forward to getting started!

    He loves finding money - always brings it up to me with a look of wonder on his face! Although he has now realised that his Nanny's bag contains money and tries to bring that over to me now too...

    2 shiny pennies found at the train station this morning. Practicing for starting properly on Friday :money:

    This challenge may encourage me to walk more as there's not much chance of finding roadkill when I'm in my car! :rotfl:

  • Roadkill ? I have a brace of pheasants that I managed to hit the other day, but what I really like is Hare.

    There's definitely money to be found on a daily basis if you look for it. :)
