  • I'm loving this challenge even if I am utterly terrible at it! :) I'm determined to find at least 2p before November is done to get me up to double figures lol!

    I've learned a valuable lesson too, it's okay to be completely rubbish at something! I DON'T have to be the absolute best at everything and I can be happy for others that are doing considerably better than me - it doesn't change the fact that I have 8p of extra free money in my pocket :-)

    You are right Kate - as long as you are increasing your available cash balance, it doesn't matter.....oh and having fun too! :)

    I am hoping that for those of us who have stormed through November scouring for pennies, we have learned that there is more cash out there than we first realised, that there is a lot of joy to be had in finding a penny, and generally people don't look at the floor!! :D

    Yes! It really is the best feeling finding pennies! And even without finding the money, this thread has been full of positivity and hilarity :j:j:j Going to the shops on the 30th (budgeted of course) and hope to get as much as I can in the last day :j
