    Where is the May Roadkill Thread I found 2p today!! :j

    I actually found 6p in total but couldn't get the 4p out of my old heater that it was stuck in lol

    Yes when I took it to the dump I did give it a good go of getting out the remaining 4p, to no avail...I'm sure they thought I was mad shaking it like a good'un lol

    Anyway...2p Roadkill so far for May...Wooohooo!:D

    Another 6p today!! :j

    Saw another 2 pennies but they were all caught up in muck so decided against wading in...BUT...it did make me think to bring a little baggie with me in future to use almost like a pooper scooper to protect my hands!

    Am I going too far? :o

    Total this month - 8p!

    Hi Everyone,

    Had a great Roadkill day today. First I found 5p then a £1 coin followed by 10p. I should visit Bluewater more often if this is what happens when I go!

    Hubby also found 2p.
    £1.31 so far for the month. Woo Hoo!!!

    Had a brisk walk across town to see my friend...almost got the whole way without hint nor hide of roadkill, then found a penny and almost skipped the rest of the way!! lol

    Got to my friend's house raving about my penny roadkill and her 14yr old daughter was looking at me like I had 2 heads!! lol

    :j

    Total for May is now £0.09

    I live next door to a pub which I thought would be a minefield for roadkill on a Sunday morning after a Fri/Sat night...nowt so much as a bottletop!! :)
