    I keep forgetting to update this thread.

    I've reached the grand total of £1.34 for December :beer:

    On Saturday I found 63p in the University library and yesterday I spotted a 20p coin in Te$cos.

    Nothing today as I didn't leave the house (on the plus side I didn't spend any money either). :rotfl:

    1p at school(son found it,again.)
    20p and 1p in ASDA,nr self serve tills
    1p in local PO shop
    1p somewhere else,can't remember,but it was in my roadkill pocket :rotfl:
    It is nice having lots of little finds.But wouldn't it be nice having a bigger find,for a change.

    Some really great finds reported this month and don't be disheartened amy_jay - it gets easier, I promise!

    Stebo, as long as the tumble drier was in a launderette, you can count it. If you find money in your home, you can't as it was likely yours already to begin with. :)

    I've found a few pennies over the last few days and I need to update my signature but Mr HOK3Y is currently hogging the computer.......today I found 3 x 5p and a 5 euro cent coin that is in the euro stash for the next trip to the mainland. Had to laugh because I ran into a friend on the way to the train station and he said he was thinking about me and walking to find coins.....at which point I swooped down and picked up my first 5p.....then told him the law of attraction was working well.....he asked how I figured that......I told him he was thinking of me and so he found me, whereas I was thinking of the money!!! Lol!!! :D
