  • Feeling fabulous tonight after a £10 road kill find !!!! :j:j:j
    It was on the floor amongst some receipts I. A supermarket car park. Absolutely no one else around. Feel a little guilty but no way of locating its owner:o Incidentally there was 6p of points on the receipts it was with.

    Total: £10.64
  • 14p today in town :)
  • 33p found in Tesco today. My roadkill has really decreased this month too but hoping to get over £1 by the end of the month!

    The amount of roadkill has really, really decreased this month. I went to university last night and came away empty handed for the first time ever.

    While I was waiting for my train, I noticed a very scary looking bloke clearly searching for money (he checked the ticket machines and telephones).

    More competition for me! :mad:

    I've managed to reach £1.60 this month, loads less than this time last month :(


    I agree with you Emma, although we haven't taken as many evening walks looking for it. I still find money everyday though.

    Lucky, lucky! Well done!! :T :T :T :T :T


    Well, yesterday morning I was pretty peeved at my roadkill total for the month - I have also experienced a downturn but part of that is also that I haven't walked out looking for it as consistently as I was. Anyway, yesterday turned out to be an awesome day for coins:


    1p in Tescos (went in looking for coins)
    £1 in WHSmiths under a shelf
    1 euro cent on the coinstar
    5p at self checkout in A$da
    20p outside same Tescos
    5p inside same Tescos (I'm starting to love that Tescos!)
    1p on floor of photobooth
    50p in change tray of same photobooth
    2 x 1p on floor near car park machine
    10p in change tray of same car park machine

    Pretty darn happy with that as it slammed up my roadkill total past the £5 mark......and I'll be going out for a walk tonight too! :D

    Hi,

    I found a promo for 100 free Nectar points - I've posted it over on the 'Up your income' thread :)

    Basically you just need to link your Nectar card to your Ebay account but the offer ends on 23/01/14... I have no idea how long it's been going on for, apologies if it's old :(
