Roadkill Rebels - November 2013

gettingthehangofthis

3p yesterday, even after about 2 miles of walking in around town and past shops. I specifically looked by a park bench to find it, knew there would be something there and there were 3 pennies waiting to be found!

2p for me yesterday outside tesco exit, and 2p this morning from dh's trouser pocket as I was putting a wash load in. (does that count?!)
takes my practice total to 20p! Not bad to say 5 days ago I had never even heard/thought of re-homing all these lonely pennies!

HOK3Y on a side note, I love your savings goal target! Think I should up mine too! How do you plan to get there if you don't mind me asking? (Not with roadkill alone I'm guessing )

Afternoon everyone! count me in. My DD is always finding pennies, she's 4 so if I spot one too I usually get her to pick it up so she gets the luck! or maybe so I don't look mad for picking up discarded pennies, but more fool the people who throw them down!. We're off to the doctors soon and it's a 30 minute walk so I shall be keeping my eyes peeled x

Wow I'm stunned by your savings goal as well HOK3Y - I hadn't noticed it until gettingthehangofthis pointed it out!!

I haven't even GOT a savings goal so I need to get one.

I love the final 1p - that will definitely be roadkill!:rotfl:

My practice week sucks!! Admittedly I've been housebound all poorly for most of it, but not one penny found!! Finger crossed my luck changes in November.

Hi HOK3Y!

Can I join in too?
I love finding money and so far found £1 + 5p + 1p in the last 5 days.

My hunting ground is usually around the convinience store / garage accross from my work- plenty of people drop a 1p or 5p and can't be bothered to pick it up! I have embarassed my OH many times by picking up abandonded money and being really cheery about it.

I usually just put it into the bottom of my handbag for emergencies but since I saw this challenge I put it all into a little money box and will count it up at the end of November.

Good luck everybody!!!

Can I join too please? I haven't found very much in the past - but it'll be something to start my signature off with :-)

Welcome hollie! Your Roadkill Rebel number is in post 8! Very best of luck and great to have your DD on board to help - their eyes are so much better than ours!

It will be all guns blazing as of the first then, right wegle!?! Hope you are feeling better.

The only rule is that is has to be found outside of your home or vehicle - so it can't be money that was already yours or your family's. So by all means take the pennies from DH's pockets (I sure would!) but don't count it here.

Well, there is a bit of a story behind that and it was to do with telling myself that in ten years I would have more money in my bank account (or, rather, my net worth if I own a house by then) than my work had in their main account on the particular day I got this wild notion.......and work had £538k.......so I need £538,001. And I will. Mark my words. I have the next year mapped out and I reckon with a little luck and a lot of determination I can have £50k in the bank by December 2014. The remaining 9 years? I don't know - I am going to allow the universe to guide me but one thing is for sure, you do not get anywhere unless you aim for it, so I am aiming high and am darn sure going to hit it or get seriously bloomin' close - watch this space!!
