    I really think the credit crunch has hit!

    I've not found much money at all this year. :cry:

    £1.46 so far this month which includes the 23p DH found while north of the border!

    I find because I have to look where I'm putting my feet instead of looking where I am going iyswim. Also, there is a college & students close by - they seem to throw loose change away :rolleyes:

    You don't have to go up close :eek: I just mean they drop a coin and can't be bothered to pick it up.

    So far this year I have only found £1.66 which is pretty dire, I think the Credit Crunch must be making people look after their pennies.:eek: :D :rolleyes:
    Like good food and drink?
    Try Hotel Chocolat and Baileys.

    Round here they seem to be chucking it around: £2.07 so far this month, highest value coin was 20p but mostly 1p & 5p coins (= smallest & lightest so least likely to be heard/felt while falling :confused: ).

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Evening everyone,
    On March 31st I opened my road change jar, I saved for 12 months & collected the sum of £53.07 & 26 euro cents, I have paid the £53.07 off mt barcalycard bill, which feels good that someone else is paying towards my debt. Thanks POSSETTE for starting this challenge, I am starting all over again for another 12 months.
