Roadkill Rebels - December 2013

  • Hello all! Checking in with my final total for this month. I've been out of the uk for most of it so it's a little low.
    The countries I've been travelling in only use notes and none found sadly, although I had a huge shock when I thought I saw some notes on the ground, only after picking them up I realised they were fake!! And I even found a fake 100 dollar bill last week, sadly it can't be spent or counted!
    So my final totals are:

    £10.23 in roadkill including two fivers!
    1 tesco point from a Wombled receipt.
    £2 off a tesco shop with a Wombled receipt.
    1 Yi Jiao coin found yesterday.

    Happy new year womblers, I hope 2014 brings you many a lucky penny!

    My December total was £4.84 :)

    I rescued the grand total of 62 unwanted coins:

    2 x £1
    6 x 20p
    4 x 10p
    17 x 5p
    6 x 2p
    27 x 1p

    No paper money or 50p coins this month.

    The most I found in a day was £1.03 (on Christmas Day). The best locations for coin spotting seem to be train stations and around the university campus.
    Attempting to make £2021 in 2021

    Well, I am not going out again this evening so my totals for December are as follows:


    Roadkill: £49.82
    W/R: £96.16


    Not bad! Pretty happy with that considering that the Christmas week was a lean one for us! :)

    That is truly amazing - everybody round here hangs on to their money I am sure of that!

    Fellow killers,

    I need tips please... The daft thing is that in the past there has rarely been a day go by when I didn't see odd bits of copper lying around in the street* but now that I'm looking for it to pick it up, it's not there!!! Has anyone got any recommendations? I sort of assumed that outside takeaways and near parking meters would be good but no joy...

    Ok, so it's only been a day but I had grand visions LOL

    *thinking about it now, seeing money just laid around in the streets even if it is just pennies and not picking it up just seems so STUPID! Why would anyone throw money away!!! Duurrrr...

    Right, I have been back through the last few pages of the thread to try to come up with a group total and this is my best computation:

    Total roadkill by 17 rebels: £113.56
    This equates to £6.68 per rebel!

    Total w/r income between 2 rebels: £98.17
    This equates to £49.09 per rebel.......anyone else wanna get serious about receipts!! :D
    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!!!!:j
