ooohhh,,ooooooohhh,ooooohhh,RR#20 reporting for duty,ooohhh-arrrrrrr me hearties :rotfl:
January was a very busy month for me,and slow roadkill-wise,so I wasn't posting much.Found a total of £2.50.
Now,February,that is already a different story :j
Yesterday,found 6p.
Today,went to ASDA to get stuff for kid's lunches this week.I found 6p (2 coins) between entering the gap to join the self-service queue,and the till I went to (about 2.5m walk).
The scanner was not working very well-about 3 times I had to ask for help from ASDA staff.The lady was quite rude about it,telling me to simply enter each item's barcode manually.I told her the idea of SS tills was that they made my life easier,not more work(I didn't have my reading glasses on me,so I couldn't have done it anyway.)Anyway,when I still had about 8 items in my trolley that wouldn't scan,I turned and went to walk out,abandoning my shopping.
As I was about to exit the SS area,spied a £5 note on the floor.I swear,it was slap bang infront of a ss till,where a shopper was successfully scanning :cool:
I stood right next to this guy,pretended to suddenly need to do something on my phone,pressed afew buttons.The guy put his foot over the fiver and I thought he had seen it :eek:
But he hadn't:he EVENTUALLY left the scanner,I swooped down and collected the note and walked out.
Drove to another ASDA on my way home,did my shopping again,and came home £5.06 richer :T
well,not actually £5.06 richer,just £5.06 less poor,heheSPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76
Pinecone £301,Valued Opinions £10.500 -

4p for me, found in Tesco and Aldi
There was a coin stuck in the scale at the self service checkout, for a moment I considered calling the attendant to say I had dropped it, and ask if she could she open the machine for me
Also checked for receipts,but no luck.0 -
Hoping to improve on my 6p found in January!Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

Can you sign me up for February too please Hok3y?
I'm starting off with 15p already. I found 5p at work, 5p in the carpark and 5p outside my front door!0 -
Wow! There have been some amazing finds already this month :beer:
Yesterday I rescued a slightly damaged looking 20p out the middle of the road. I also spotted what I thought could be a 2p out of some mud (I wasn't wearning my specs and it was the right colour). On closer inspection it turned out to be a really grubby 50p
So although no paper finds for me, I'm well up on my total from this time last monthAttempting to make £2021 in 20210 -
We're all doing much better this month so far!
1p found on my way home from work in the pouring rain!0
