    I found £30 :T

    in the washing machine......... oops :o. Luckily it survived :D.

    Makes you wonder just how much cash is out there to be found when you're actually looking for it :T. Great stuff everyone :j.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    My best ever finds were £20 on the steps of a bank, and £15 on a train. I handed both in due to the places I'd found them, but no-one claimed so I got them.

    Also found £40 in an envelope once that I'd put away for music lessons and then forgotten about!

    Haven't had anything like that for a while though.....well done all those of you who have just found something!! Definitely seems to be catching doesn't it??:rotfl:

    Step up - wow! Amazing. I wonder if now I have found a £5 & a £10 my next whenever it occurs will be a £20 or doesn't the galaxy work that way :)

    Levi - sorry to hijack your thread by the way.

    Not at all Bob - I'm so happy to hear about all you guys roadkill finds, paper ones! My Buddha is more powerful than I gave him credit for methinks (sadly no GreyFox, I haven't found any more, and actually got a little off track at the weekend.. but more on that in due course :() HOWEVER, I just quickly wanted to share with you all that on top of the new repositioning of the Buddha, I have also started a small daily Buddhist mantra chant which is OM VASUDHARE SVAHA - the chant that attracts wealth or improved material wealth...x108 for maximum impact, and I think this has certain strengths that go towards OTHERS rather than oneself - so I wonder why that is why you are all finding the paper roadkill this weekend.. I only just started it this weekend :)

    Promise me you'll all treat yourselves to something nice/fun with the little funds, they are a present from the universe. x

    Welcome back lovely!:j I also read once about the power of taking notice of all the abundance that comes into your life, whether large or small, so I have a notebook (its a beautiful one from Paperchase with pictures of Waikiki beach on the cover....and hibiscus flowers... ) and in it I'll put the date and write "I'm abundant and prosperous! Today I observed this evidence...." and then list anything I was given or received that day which can be anything from money to clubcard vouchers, someone bought you a drink, free advice you were given, someone helped you,someone paid for the car park, someone cooked a meal for you, you got something you wanted reduced etc etc etc.

    I don't always remember to do it but I always find things improve when I do! xxx

    This isn't fair. I found zip all!

    :rotfl:

    Does a combined £50 back in cashback and points and offers count?!? All from the H&B I desperately needed macadamia nuts from?! ;)

    Glad you had a good time Levi. I thought it might be a bit hard for you to go to a friends and be on a super strict budget, and I am sure you had thought similar, takeaways... pints, etc - you would have felt bad not helping out so don't worry yourself. Think instead of all of your positives from that weekend. Write them down and stick them on the fridge. And when it comes to looking at figures, remember what you got for your money. Totally worthwhile. You'd go mad otherwise. xx

    I just saw a advert for sowing seeds with your children and thought of you Levi

    Wow Lilty £50 cash back how much do you spend in there? It's not the cheapest place, that shop has fondest memories as it was my first job when I was 16...

    2 jars of £15.49 coconut oil in the penny sale, loads of other stuff in there too, magnesium tablets etc. The total came to £53, but originally should have been close to £90, with £5.88 cashback, £12.12 in points to spend, and after todays drama with the delivery I have now got double what I ordered as an apology, whole new order coming out. ;) Anyway want some of my now 1.6kilos of macadamia nuts?!? :rotfl:

    Used to love sowing seeds with my mums dad, then my mum. And eating the homegrown tomatoes :D
