Yesterday, I washed out the main filter on my tumble drier so that it would work more efficiently - saved 15 m per load.

Mmmm I must find out how to do this. I really grudge putting the thing on. I did not have one when the kids were small and managed fine but my Dad insisted on buying us one. I must say I dont know where I would be without it now.

That's alot of cash... I am always too embarassed to pick up coppers! If it's 20 or 50p I might go for it...

I pick up the pennies but promptly give them away saying,

See a penny pick it up,
Hope that it will bring you luck!
Give it to a trusted friend,
Then your luck will never end.

I'm generally in a grumpy bus queue, so slim chance but will keep my eyes peeled!

I always pick up pennies for "good luck" - silly reason, but I do. However, this week I found £10 on the pavement, then £1 on the floor at the station and 2 x 1p - so quids in for me this week!

In our family we give £1 presents at Christmas quite a lot of ingenuity has to be used finding an apt present in the pound shops or markets etc We are on the look out all year round.

Does anyone pick up pennies off the floor? I knew someone who did this religiously, and actually, she had pots and pots of pennies she'd found. Seemed to work well for her. I started doing it recently hehe

I remember many years ago as a young teen I stooped to pick up a penny and got laughed at by a group of people who were sat on a bench, they had superglued it to the path!! put me off a bit from picking up money ! However after reading about the couple who had found thousands over the years I found myself checking out the local supermarket car park!!:rotfl:

Oh dear, and me trying to avoid being near teenagers (having dealt with two of my own for so long hehe), from now on I shall have to hang out with the crowd :rotfl: it might be my new little earner project!

Jokes apart, I ALWAYS pick up pennies, on account of the fact that being snobbish about small gifts from the Universe will send out a signal "out there" that I do not want good things to come to me/that I am ungrateful. So I pick up pennies and give thanks when I do.

Has anyone read books about the law of attraction?

Caterina that is such a good way of looking at it! I always pick up pennies from the ground- if I find a 20p it makes my day! When I was a kid I went through a phase of finding notes on the floor:eek: . Always handed them in but never find them now.

No? Are there any you'd recommend? What's the theory? Am always worrying that my worrying brings bad karma!
