    That's a great saving, trains are so expensive in this country.

    Thank you Bobarella :D - updated my wombling amount so far this year. It's a bit slow but I'm sure it'll pick up :rotfl:. So far I have received some nice non-purchase cashback together with a few pounds for roadkill, but looking to do much better ;):p.

    Had to come back and edit again as I forgot that my laptop finally gave up after having it for so long - and I mean a long time:rotfl:. I manged to get a brand new laptop at a third of the price thanks to finding a whole load of online codes (now expired) - I saved £198, so going to add that to my womble amount :D;):p

    There are always deals if you buy your tickets in advance and I will also get 3.000 bonus Nectar points as my Nectar card is linked to my Virgin account and there was a Nectar deal for the bonus points if you bought Virgin train tickets that cost a minimum of £30. :D

    £13.30 off my Amazon order through using vouchers.

    £0.89 free milk through using my co op card.

    Now, I want to ask the wombles about something.

    I had an email from Am@z0n this week to say that a book I had ordered at Christmas as a christmas present for my mum was going to be replaced as they had found out it had printing errors in it and they were going to replace it free of charge with no need to return the original.

    I was quite happy about this as it was a book I wanted to read so I though I would swap with my mum and that would be it.

    Instead I then got another email from Am@z0n a few days later to show my order details for the replacement, and they were replacing my whole Christmas shop, which was worth about £74 in total.

    So now I have a second set of everything I bought as Christmas presents and I don't know if this is a mistake or some sort of Am@z0n policy, so should I

    *Contact Am@z0n and check if this was supposed to happen

    or

    *keep quiet, give away or sell the items and drink a celebratory cocktail for my good fortune?

    Now I know what the correct answer is, but I would really like a cocktail. :rotfl:

    I would be joining you for a cocktail after a short time of waiting to see if they had noticed.......

    I have 2 rolls of wallpaper Graham and Br00wn sent me for no clearly apparent reason when I ordered some other wallpaper. Told them I had them and they were not what I ordered so they sent the ones I had ordered, and never asked for the two 'odd ones' back. I am trying to sell them.

    But I am morally ambiguous at the best of times......
