Hi Wombles

Sorry to abandon ship this month. Feet haven't really touched the ground.

Glad everyone is doing well. I will update the totals on page 1 asap!

Wombles for me - 26p roadkill
A free ice cream cone in McD with the monopoly game they are doing
150 free points in Mr S from scanning a voucher.

Have a good day.

Bob

How kind of you Florence it is a teeny bit of a cop out because I'm not totally Debt free, but as it is around £350 now and I have more in savings. I decided to go with that and stop myself feeling so under pressure

Well done on the food wombling Miss EP!

I have £2 egg sales (quiet, as it's the Easter break and I've not been out much) and another 14 collected for home use = £1.40.

I'm sticking with the real deal as Creme eggs make me feel icky...they're too big, too sweet and too much. They are on a par with the dreaded chocolate orange. The smell of one of those turns my stomach._pale_

The skids usually buy an orange chocolate egg for DH at Easter, so I'm not tempted to snorf it.

Now mint chocolate is a different matter....:rotfl:

I LOVE chocolate orange. I will have yours Dizzy

just to help you out :rotfl::T

Oh my goodness - feel like I've been away so long. Read back from page 37 to see how everyone is doing - fantastic wombles going on guys! I am very impressed.

Have been so busy with the house renovations, wedding planning and just general work and family life but am back to report the following wombles for this month so far:

We left our old chest freezer at the old house thinking we'd have nowhere to store it as the new house had no outside electricity. However, we've had the house rewired and now do. The owners left a small half decent freezer and so I cleaned it up. It was in a outhouse which had had birds in the rafters so I patched up the ceiling, seriously cleaned out and painted the walls and floor. We bought an off-cut of Lino for £5 and painted one panel with some blackboard paint. It looked amazing. My mum gave us a spare freezer (same size) that we put on top and a shelving unit which fits in beautifully down the side. Now have a fully functioning freezer room/larder which is fab. I'm so happy with it. Will claim a nominal £20 for the freezer and shelves.

So £20.00 to start.

Meal bought for 5 of us at my sister's birthday meal = £50
free lunch at work - £3.60
Free BBQ also from mum with briquettes etc = £15
Meals bought/cooked for us at ILs for 2 days: 12@£5 each = £60

We bought a meal back for all 9 of us on the last day - half way home MIL text to say she had put the money back into our bank account bless them. £100

Quick dash home for best friend's birthday meal - 3 course meal for 4 of us paid for (which again was unexpected) £80.

I can assure everyone no of us particularly need feeding but it was really lovely to be treated. It's good to be back - I need to get my head back into wombling.

Have a great day everyone.

Hello Miss Empty Piggy

Welcome back. Sounds like a very busy time for you. I seem to have you down with a higher score in March than you now have in your signature for April. Am I going mad?

I'm on a roadkill streak found a £5 note and a 2p earlier

Also found a catering oil canister/can earlier - been after one of these for ages to plant in. Not gonna claim anything as have no idea what I would pay for something like this but to me it's priceless

Nice one on the £5!:T

wow sounds like a very blessed month miss empty piggy!

sistercas yay to 66 cream eggs :T this would not be a blessing in my house as I would set about eating them all in the shortest time possible

yesterday I was given 3 gooseberry bushes £34.99 if I bought them :T

used membership card and saved £20.40 on entrance to the wildlife park - this membership pays for itself in 3 visits and we go many more times a year than that!

£3.20 on buying oat milk on offer :money:

Thanks and well done on the gooseberry bushes, I am very jealous. xx
