    Well done. You are right. It's money for nothing. Anyone who turns their nose up at picking up change is mad.

  • some great wombling going on folks.


    Found on a coach 2 packs of colouring in books with pencils. They seemed to have been given to a family of 3 kids. One about 6 the other too well into their teens :) So when the coach stopped the teens threw their packs on the seats and left the coach. At the end of the route I gave them a new home. I will pass them onto someone who has kids or drop them into a charity shop.


    I also found 2 pens on the ground this week. 10p outside the post office and a penny in my backyard. Need to go around the sons bedrooms see what I can find over the weekend.


    I agree with you Bob why would you pass up change lying around. Money for nowt :):):)

    sweetpea26.....when my son lived at home I would find a fortune in his room! He said he only liked to use paper money!!!:eek:

    Bob...Thanks, I know it's shooting up, but will probably reach a plateau. It was only because of my big items Wombled!:)

    On a 5 mile hike with my grandson this morning, I spied a'bean' on a thrown away Maccys coffee cup. To my grandsons horror I was hunched over it like a vulture, peeling it off a soggy cup! He was disgusted at my wobbling. Kids today have no idea how to amuse themselves!:rotfl:
