Found on the floor 2010

Me and Elena have a policy of picking up everything on the floor we can make use of, including absolutely any money at all, no matter how small.

At the start of 2010 we decided to keep track of all the money we found and tot it up at the end of the year. Whenever the change got a little unmanageable we swapped it for a larger denomination, but didn't spend or add a penny. Here's the total for 2010

£36.71

Not bad huh! We found a £5 note at the bus stop and a £10 note left in a cash machine and another £10 on a shop shelf but the rest was all in pennies and these little lucky finds.

I always picked up money when I saw it, but we actually look for it these days. It's amazing what you find when you are keeping your eyes open for small change on the floor. If you look for pennies, you'll be surprised how many 20s and pounds you'll see.

Today was recycling day in Kew and Elena, not being one to see good cardstock and collage images going to waste picked up a whole bunch of Christmas cards due for the tip. This should be fun to create with!
