  • Last night at work I found a whopping 31p! I kept checking the vending machine in the waiting room and my patience paid off, even though I was a little embarrassed with keep pressing the return button in front of a waiting room full of people, but needs must and the determination to improve got the better of me, I HAD to carry on.

    So to sum up

    vending machine x 10p
    vending machine x 20p
    floor x 1p

    The night before 17/12/13 6p found


    Walking mums dog x 1p
    Asda x 5p

    Total so far = 50p :)

    I can literally feel my roadkill search filter improving every day. Just goes to show you really do get better at it the more you practice.

    Well,my lucky son's average dropped today.Only found 60p(3 x 20p),as he stepped out of the car into the ABSOLUTELY POURING rain(while the rest of us were racing to get out of the rain),so his £1/day average has dropped to 86.6p/day.For a kid who gets no regular pocket-money,he is rolling in it :rotfl:

    Just wondering, SU, can I borrow the kid.......:rotfl:

    Yeah!! CC, getting to the 'don't give a stuff' point definitely works in favour of your available cash balance so well done to you! And yes, you do get better all the time and I think there's a few people on here who are proving that! It's quite lovely to watch!

    Hiya Muhren, I found 2 x £20 in Morri$ons car park - never been so gobsmacked in my life!! We also found two scratch cards that paid out £11 in total but I will transfer that to the wr total at the end of the month for this challenge so the numbers in my sig will change. I consider it roadkill for my personal spreadsheet and I use that to update my sig (although it's a bit behind at the mo!) but I'll remove it for the final report at the end of the month.

    I did find a rather mahoosive 8p yesterday! :D Off into town now to see what I can scavenge.....

    Haven't found any more money but did find a bottle of coke. Was walking past a deserted vending machine when it decided to dispense a coke. No-one was around so I took it lol
