    "£20 note found at the bottom of the Escalators in Glasgow's Central Station"

    Aww,stebo,that is amazing!!So jealous :cool:


    I had to go out to the mall to collect my mobile that was in for repair.
    And I found:
    5p in the doorway of a shop
    5p and 1p on floor where people could stand to overlook the lower floors
    5p at ATM nr local post office shop

    Tomorrow is the school fair.I will be walking around with my head down the whole time.Kids are sooo careless with coins,there are sure to be some rich pickings.

    Didn't find a £20 note at the bottom (or top!) of any escalators I went on today!!!!!!!

    Oh my!!!! I don't know if any of you realise how much I love reading this thread! You all make me smile and downright LOL at times!!! Stebo, that is freakin' AWESOME!!!!!!!! Look how green I am ---> :D !!!!! Could not be happier for you! Well, well done!

    Hollie and deldee, you have been added into post 2! Luvvly jubbly! :)

    I have updated my signature with my current totals. Rather chuffed with myself as I found a £1 in a dark car park today and a few other pennies in other places. Man, what I wouldn't give to find a £20........hmmmm, how many escalators are there in this town.....?!

    Heading out later for a further roadkill and w/r hunt.....hoping to have a profitable weekend but I am not holding my breath as we have Mr HOK3Y's Christmas do tomorrow night and I have friends coming over for scones on Sunday! I'll just have to fit some serious searching in around all of that!

    Nights out are the best - think of all those drunk people dropping notes all over the place!!

    Fab find stebo :T

    I miscalculated the petrol pump and it came to £30.01 :mad: I found a penny as I was walking in to pay for it though so I stuck to my original £30 spend :)

    So far this month, I have found 1 x £1 coin, 1 x 20p, 2 x 5p, 1 x 2p and 4 x 1p! Even after today's 1p splurge, that's still £1.35 towards my new computer fund :D
  • Up 8p today!

    Yay!

    Siouxsie, if it was in the town, I'd agree with you but it's in some hotel or other.....will still be watching the floor! :D. Well done on your finds for the month so far. :)

    Splodge I love how happy your coin finds make you! :)

    Well we are back from our evening trip with an extra 7p in roadkill and a few extra pounds in w/r. Mr HOK3Y is hogging the laptop so I can't get to my s/s but I will update it in the morning. G'night rebels! :kiss:

  • Going away for a few days down to our caravan to sort it out for the winter - hope I'll have lots of roadkill to add to the total when I get back!
