Roadkill Rebels July 2014

Something Different
Found sparkly Roadkill - was in Tescos and spotted a diamond ring on the floor past the check out. Wasn't sure if it was real, but said to hubby - I'm going to hand it in. Customer service was really pleased because this morning someone had rung in - they had lost their engagement ring. They took my number and a little while later the finace rang me to say Thank you and that they would like to send me some flowers. I explained that I was just happy that they had got it back and that don't worry about getting me flowers - put a donation into a charity box.
It made me feel really good that my Roadkill observation skills had done someone else some good. :T
Hope everyone else had a good day.
Love that story, I'm glad you found it and not someone else who might not have done the right thing and handed it in.
I found 5p in the pub on Sat night and that was it for the weekend.
Edit - I forgot I also found 2p in the pub on Friday as well and have just found 1p at the petrol station, which I saw as I was about to drive off. So had to get out the car again to pick it up.LBM: Dec 2012 - Debt £38,180/ Now £0.

Hi Thriftkitten and taskey, sorry for the delay in replying; I was out of the country for a few days.
Welcome to the challenge, you have been assigned number 31 and number 75 respectively. Good luck for July, keep your eyes open!
So far this month I have found a few pennies, some exotic roadkill and a bracelet charm... I am turning into a magpie, will pick up anything that shines0 -
Hope you enjoyed your trip away Joylimited, was it business or pleasure?
I found a £1 coin at work yesterday on the floor in the car park and a 1p coin when I went out for a walk in the evening. This has now been my best month so far and have nearly doubled my entire finds for the whole year in this one month.LBM: Dec 2012 - Debt £38,180/ Now £0.

Thank you for my number, I'm wearing it with pride hahhaa! I was in Te*co today at the self checkout and noticed 5p on the floor... the checkout lady opposite was glaring at me as I bent down to pick it up; So I very politely asked if I could keep it as I was a member of a "Road kill" forum :T After explaining what that was, she was hysterically laughing and said "Well finders keepers" Happy days!!Thriftkitten
