    Is it too late to join? I've found my first bit of road kill...
    A 1p lol.

    I'll pop it into my sealed saving pot.
    I wanna see how much roadkill I can save in 2014 then I can put it in my savings.

    I finally have everyone (I think!) signed up in post #2 including you LeopardPrintsandTea! If I have missed anyone, just shout up!


    My roadkill day has been pretty darn good - found some extra coins on the way home which takes my total for the day to £1.13. I have almost doubled what I found up to the 17th in 3 short days! :T There is hope for January yet! :D

    Thank you so much!
    I keep looking out but there seems to be no money.
    I feel silly claiming 1p

    Hi SU! :wave: I think you've hit the nail on the head for a lot of us - we're not out and about as much as we were.....and neither are those who drop pennies. My month was going reeeaaaallllly slowly but since I've made the effort to go out, I am doing much better.

    LeopardPrints don't feel weird about the penny because I assure you that everyone here is smiling at you. :) Pennies most certainly add up and there are lots of rebels who will tell you that it's tough when you start out but definitely gets better as you go. Keep looking!

    I'm already up for the day having found 6p on the way to the train station. Walking is key to this endeavour!! :D
