cash updates as I find them...

Cash found today

2007-02-01T13:29:00.000-08:00

This is a suggestion of my wife who is amazed at my ability to find cash (you know the metal round stuff)

So as from today I will keep a tally of the amounts found:

Today 2p

now this may not sound a lot but on Saturday I found 27p, Sunday 51p and since then nothing

but I am working on the principle of finding a penny a day......

When I reach £5.00 I want to start using the cash to invest in something to make enough to pay for my daughters university education or something like that... any ideas (legal) would be greatly appreciated.....

sorry no photos recently but maybe the one above will keep you laughing ( yes it really was a bath of beans)

2007-01-31T14:26:00.000-08:00
