  • Hok3y, you must live in a town where people aren't bothered about dropping money because you find loads! lol. Yesterday whilst shopping I didn't find a sausage! i usually walk slowly past the 99p shop to see if I can spot any 1p's around there! hehe I'm going tesco later on this evening and keep my eyes peeled. Usually go a walk on Thursdays but my DD is very poorly and off school so we're staying in. xx

    Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

  • Just been catching up on this thread - it's so funny! Everyone is doing well! 2 x £1, 2 x 5p and a few pennies found in the last week and a half.
  • First roadkill found today by little one - 5p in the pot and she was pleased as anything when I told her she had found the first roadkill! Must watch out though if she starts telling people we are collecting roadkill - might get a visit from the health department! :)

    Living where I do that would be an obvious conclusion except that I find lots of money in a shop which is in one of the most rough parts of the town and a chunk more in the town I work in - it's odd indeed. I do think a good part of it is lighting in the supermarkets - the worse the lighting, the better the finds! :)

    5p for me today at lunchtime!

    Everyone is doing brilliantly - and you are right, Chrisblue, every penny does help! I am going to post my spreadsheet at the end of this month showing the finds for the last 2 months - it is surprising to me how different they look once I got truly serious around the middle of October.

    We are back from our evening walk 86p richer which gives us a roadkill total of 91p for the day. We also have £1.99 from w/r with one more to check in the morning. I am too tired to stay up and wait the 3 hours out!
