    Walking back from work tonight I found £1 lying in the middle of the road :) brings my May total up to £1.35

    Well done Boo-Radley, I also find that I spend my time looking at the ground.
    Hubby found a 1p today. It does help to lift his spirits.

    1p today!! :j

    I walked past a bank and saw the penny, but was too embarrassed to pick it up there an then as I would have had to have stepped back to get it...anyway..it was gnawing at me, so I did what I had to do in town and walk back past the bank. A lady was standing in the queue back from the ATM and the penny was in front of her, so I nonchalantly walked between her and the ATm and picked up the penny and walked on as if I hadn't a care in the world...:rotfl:

    I'm daft I know! :o

    Hello, Roadkill Rebel # 35 reporting.

    So far this month I've found £3.94 :)

    Last night I was sat near the vending machines in the university library (my roadkill hot spot) and spotted what I thought was a penny under one of the machines. On closer inspection it turned out to be a pound coin :)

    I'm pretty certain that my roadkill discoveries will reduce loads once all the students have finished for the year.

    ****

    This morning I finally reached the £40 payout total in OnePoll. I know that I'll be waiting ages for the money, but I can now say "good-bye" to the site :)

    Hubby and I went for a walk down to the high street to pick up some fresh fruit and salad and between us we found 3x 5p, plus 1 x 2p ( as well as an old road kill - sixpence).
    17p in total for today.
