    Morning All

    Dizzy - welcome back. You've had lots of good wombling success lately I'd say. Try and keep a total even for the next half year. Be exciting to see how you get on by December.

    The Only Girl - personally I think it's fine. Sometimes I find coins at the cafe dotted around the place. I put them in my tips jar. I can't imagine a total stranger is going to come back saying 'oh I lost 5p in here the other day' I'd guess the same for your workplace. It's not like you are stealing by picking up discarded coins.

    I can understand you giving The Only Girl, the advice you gave her, but for everyone that works in the retail sector or any other cash handling business, even keeping 1p found on the premises of your employer, would be considered theft and could lead to dismissal from your post. Just thought I would clarify this issue.

    Sugarbaby - fair enough. I own my own place so finding 1p on the floor and not knowing who it belongs to is different.

    Another £1.25 in cash found wandering around this weekend. I really should have started keeping track at the start of the year of how much i have wombled and got from APG receipts.

    I was wondering if anyone on here does Opinion World surveys and their views on it?

    I signed up a while ago after seeing some forum users mention it. So far i have only managed to get 50pts and 7 entries into their prize draw (which isn't what i want). I seem to get half way through a survey and then it pops up saying they have all of the responses they need, so I've completed 1/2 of quite a few surveys and have nothing to show for it :/

    Sophie - I don't know that survey provider no. But I agree keeping a total is motivational. Every voucher or p I find now goes on the total and eggs me on.

    I just wombled a teaspoon whilst walking the dog! We're forever running out of teaspoons (OH tends to use a new one each time he makes a brew) so I guess it will come in handy!

    Nice one Twiggy. Tea spoons are easily thrown away too. I have done it myself when you have a yoghurt and accidentally put both in the bin.

    Nope. If you read up thread Muhren recently made money on ebay selling things he found! I think it was tennis balls.
