Roadkill Rebels - December 2013
Comments
-
Well, it has been the best day of my life for roadkill - bar none, no contest: found 2 x £20 in the car park of the local Morri$ons while looking for £1s in the trolleys! Crumpled up with a receipt, partially tucked under a hedge, I saw purple and about put my back out with the speed I reached down for it. Absolutely danced back to work! It has been a rough few days and this has put one hell of a smile on my face! Not that it stopped me hitting A$da on the way home....additional 14p in change and at least £2.20 in wr.....and there will be more later! What a day!!!!!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

Hok3y I am so jealous it's unbelievable!
I am up 1p0 -
WELL DONE HOK3Y!!!:j
Thought I was doing well today,finding a £1 and 20p piece together.There was rows and rows of "sheds"(they did look like sheds you could buy at B+Q),making up a German market.Each shed was raised a couple of inches from the ground.I walked along the rows of them,far enough back to see underneath.Sure enough,found the coins.
Total for today,doing Christmas shopping,was £1.28:combined with the £5 I found last Thursday,I was feeling positively rich.But HOK3Y's £40 has put my back in my place :rotfl:.SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76

I'm still in shock to be fair! Should've seen hubby's face when I told him.....there was a total delayed reaction as the amount actually sunk in and then a huge smile followed by, "NO WAY!!!!"
I can't thank the Universe enough - Christmas has been brutal and I've been as frugal as possible!
SU that was really smart to back up and look under the cabins - barmy as it sounds, you do need to think like a coin and figure out where it would hide!! Well done......and I think I'll employ that method at our German market this evening!!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 -
:wave:Hi HOK3Y and Rebells!:wave:
Great find HOK3Y, especially so close to Christmas!
No new finds for me since the 55p at the begining of December, but will not give it up! I put all roadkill finds into a small cupcake shape 'piggybank' and hope to open it next December- really hoping to find £15-£20 by then!
:xmastree: Good Hunt everybody and Merry Christmas! :xmastree:"NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS FREE FOOD"

Since it was so profitable today,might pick the kids up from school again tomorrow :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76
