    This thread is so funny! I always subtly scan the pavements (and roads) when out and about, and over the years have found a small amount.

    Once at work, I was day-dreaming what I might have for tea that evening, and thought I might treat myself to a bag of chips (an extortionate £1.20).

    On walking home that paricular evening, I found £1.10 in change on the ground, then looked in my purse for the other 10p. By the time I got to the chippy, I just couldn't do it, that is, I just couldn't part with the funds - and so walked home to beans on toast! (Much more nutritious, too!)

    Thought of this thread the other day- walking down one staircase at work (at a school), I came across some coppers practically every step!! Think the kids just throw them on the floor. Also found 2.40 on the floor of my local!

    hi everyone...i havent been on the site for couple of months, but glad to see your all doing well...apart from the "lost a £5" poster!! Think of it this way, someone on here may have found said £5 and put it towards thier CC! Where in the country did you lose it,lets see if someone on here DID find it!!!

    Not found a lot recently but have got the odd 20p from the swimming pool where people have dropped it out of lockers I guess.

    Will have to add up everything for this year next month!

    £2.12 this month but I'm sure £1 of that actually fell out of OH's pocket with his car keys. Still, I spotted it so it's mine now :D
