    Debt-free and Proud!
    33cents found today - 32 in Walmart and 1 at the chinese buffet we ate at for dinner. Seriously, 3 dimes and 2 pennies were sitting in plain view on the floor at the checkout - I watched one woman walk over the top of them. Not me - I snagged the lot!

    Walked into the hotel tonight, a different one then before and I noticed some coins on one of the chairs in the reception area. There wasn't anyone around so I sat down and picked up the coins and there was £2.65 which must have fallen out of someones pocket. A nice tidy sum and long may the hotels keep giving!

    You lucky person. I had the same experience in a pub once. I wasn't sure what to do. Hubby had no gumption about picking it up.

    Hubby found 21p today.

    Days holiday today. Away for the weekend. On the way to the local train station I found a penny, hubby found 2 pennies. I then found a penny and a1 cent coin. Then walked to Kings Cross. On the way walked past a cash machine, outside a Tesco express, suddenly it spat out £30.00. No one was around and it wasn't a bank that we could have taken it into, so my hubby took it and we walked off. I felt very guilty because that is a lot of mney for someone to lose. But Hubby then reminded me that three weeks ago I had my purse stolen when we were away and l had £150.00 stolen.
