Another 11p this evening in the university library taking my total for the day to 16p
£4.16 for the month is poor by my standards
I'm aiming to find more than £5.00 during December :beer:Attempting to make £2021 in 20210 -
Had another look for found money on Thursday. Did cover more distance and hence time out but nothing.0

Well, I know I said to try to go out of November with a bang but I really didn't think we would find what we found today. We have just got back from a walk to A$da where we found some receipts and were on a lookout for coins. We went past the coinstar as usual and I took a peak into the coin return and underneath but kept walking. Mr HOK3Y yelped for me to come back. This is what he saw sitting on top of the coin loader section - the bit with all the holes in the top:
Yeah. Couldn't believe our eyes! Brought it home and added it all up: £2.30!!! Plus we found an additional 21p in the store so £2.51 for the day so far.
Wombled receipts have netted us £3.03 for the day with more to come later hopefully! Whoop!! How am I going to beat this in December?!?!Credit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -
WOW!!! What an amazing find! Well done Hok3y :T
I didn't find more than that one penny in my practice run this past week but I have high hopes for DecemberMake £10 a day challenge Jan £231.630 -
Wow HOK3Y that's amazing!
Found 10p by the tills yesterday - the biggest single coin so far for me in this challenge!
Also - found 2p in a drawer - now this is strange because I use that drawer a lot and haven't seen it before!
Also 2x5p's that were wedged down the lining of my purse.
I know I can't count these as they were not found outside the home but I can put them in my sealed pot. :-)£10 a day extra in May '18[B]£35/310[
Virtual Sealed Pot 2018 £500/£2500 = 20%

Had an errand today 4-5 miles approx. Found three pence.
Also, somebody else from home found two twenty pences in a 'phone box so if that can be included the total for November is £1.99.0 -
My total for November is £4.40.
Well done everyone!0 -

Yes you can include them - I think a few rebels enlisted family members over the last month and I don't know what I would do without my wombling partner in crime, Mr HOK3Y!
Keep the totals coming rebels!!!Credit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -
Out for a final walk this evening and found an extra 4p roadkill and a fair few extra pounds with the w/r. In reporting my totals for the month, I am shifting the £4 I found with the lotto card into the w/r total and leaving just true cash finds in the roadkill total. This means that my totals for November are as follows:
Roadkill: £18.51
W/R: £107.66
Total finds for the month: £126.17
Even I am a bit shocked by this and it means that I am looking to hit around £150 in total for December. Well, if I don't aim high......
Report in with your totals asap - can't wait to see what we have achieved as a group!!!Credit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0
