    We arrived in the most beautiful renovated hayloft yesterday and we're staying here over Christmas. Utterly chuffed to bits with ourselves - it's gorgeous! Copper jacuzzi bath with starlight ceiling, wood burning stove that we had going all evening, and a whole hamper of yummy stuff waiting for us.

    Did this stop me googling the nearest A$da and going out receipt hunting?? Lol! Came back and claimed 70p on clicksnap and will check for vouchers when we get home. Also 3p richer!!!

    SU, I about died laughing reading your post! You are a coin finding machine!!!

    Yb you are doing really well too - long may it continue for you!

    Splodge, you are very welcome! Here, have some more! :)

    Cc, vending machines are great places to look and you are on a roll!

    Went to a local garden centre to have kid's photo with Santa.I had primed my son,telling him to look carefully:lots of stalls,lots of crowds,busy shoppers......
    As it was,when I walked in the centre,I remembered that there aren't lots of selling points throughout the centre(with lots of opportunities to find dropped coins),but only one final "paying hall" at the end :o.
    So,only coins we found were after we had left for the day:in the carpark,at a doughnut stand,found 6p.
    Tonight in Argos found 2p piece under the chairs where you wait to collect(this is the second time in a week I have found coinage under the chairs in Argos -DO CHECK HERE,MY FRIENDS!!).
    Have a lovely time away,HOK3Y:sounds absolutely wonderful :j

  • I did it! I broke last month's total! :j I found a grubby penny outside the school on Wednesday and last night I found 10p at the bar at hubby's Christmas party! Not bad going as it was a free bar ;)

    Even more surprising that I took full advantage of the free bar and I'm not hungover!
