Better Than a Kick in the Butt; I Found $23.36

Well, it's been about 5 weeks since I last updated my found money report. I hadn't been finding tons of money until last week when, lo and behold, I found a twenty dollar bill! 

So, that makes $23.36 that I found since September 5. Not too bad. I'll stick these coins in my change purse and spend them. The twenty is gone!

I used to keep all of my found money in a big glass jar. I did that for years, about 8 years in fact, but the last time I moved, I couldn't pick up the darned jar!

I had to scoop out the coins and paper money and put it in heavy duty plastic bags and plastic shoe boxes just so I could cart it around!

Then I decided, what the heck. I think I'll spend some of this found money. So, I spent all of it.

And that's what I'm doing with my money as I find it now. I keep it till I make a post then I dump it in my change purse and spend it. Why not?!

So, this photo shows the coins I've found since I last posted. I also found some foreign money:  a 2009 Indian rupee, a 2010 Canadian 10 cent piece, and a 1999 10 cent Euro.

And I found some junk:  a key and a blue button.

Last week I broke down and finally ordered Mister Tom Cat this cat stroller. Of course it would also work for a dog, but he's a cat so we call it a cat stroller.


Here he is enjoying his first ride in it. Now he hops in the thing (I keep it in the living room) for a nap or just to smell it.

I'm so glad I finally got this for him. We both get some fresh air and I get some exercise.

What about you? Have you found any money recently? Please let us know!

Well, here we are. The end of another year. I think this will be the end of my found money blog. I think it's run its course, but I'...
