    So I have a little confession to make.....

    There was a 2p in the urinal at work, you can see where this is going! I was thinking about collecting it but thought better of it but towards the end of the day went back and picked it up with a paper towel and put it into the sink to give it a good wash. As I did this my boss walked in and we got talking, which ended up with me forgetting about the coin, so I did the dirty work without getting the reward!

    Just thought I would share that with you and tell you that I am still on zero for the month.

    Oh Bless! I think we are all having moments of trying to fetch the roadkill surreptitiously!! :o

    Oh, I feel such a skank....


    Was walking out of my local supermarket, when something caught my eye in the bin. I could tell by the colours that it was a total spend money off voucher, a bit screwed up. I picked it out of the bin (well by this stage I think I'd lost all dignity, so I thought what the hell) and it turned out to be a £2 off voucher when you spend £20! My OH had carried on with the trolley and was horrified when I told him - I think he'll disown me when it comes to next week's grocery shop!!

    Such a quiet month I've seen a couple of pennies, but been unable to get to them.

    Yesterday, Hubby picked 4 pennies out a dirty blocked drain and then last night found 20p by the bar.

    It's amazing the lengths that we will go to get some Roadkill.
    I got my hubby to get on all four this afternoon because I spotted a 50p under a car. We also found a 2p, 3 pennies and 40cents of exotic Roadkill by the coin exchange machine in Morrisons, so a very fruitful trip out ( along with the yellow sticker bargains).
