    Found another 3p outside Tescos - it had just been discarded by the door.

    Persuaded the kids to walk to the supermarket instead of taking the car - money walk as we pass several bus stops and found 5p which the littlest person claimed as her own. :)

    Found another penny today. So 11p in total for today. Better than a kick up the backside!

    Very soggy penny found this morning, hoping to get back into cycling and running to/from work tomorrow so that might be the last one of a while.

    Had a right result today....
    By the car park ticket machine was a penny. Then I put my £1.00 in for parking and at first nothing happened, then I pushed a button and nothing. Then I pushed the return money button and 50p came out and still no ticket. I was not happy. So I pushed the return money button again and again and again and suddenly another £3.40 came out. So I scooped the £3.90 up and walked off to another machine. I then bought a ticket and pocketed £2.50. So that is £2.51 extra for the road kill fund.

    I found another penny on the way home last night, but ran in this morning and even if I'd seen anything I doubt I'd have been able to bend to pick it up, some of those hills we killers.

    Great find Gem-Gem, must try that next time I come across a broken one, you never know what might come out :)

    Still at 10p

    Glad others are having more success!

    Was at work tidying out a cupboard ( we are soon to move buildings) and there in a corner was a penny. Hubby also found a penny on the way to work. So 2p for today.
