You come on here and moan any time you like that is such a lot of money for glasses that don't work. My DH would have a fit if he saw two of me :rotfl::rotfl:

Mine wasn't too happy seeing two of me either LC He says one is more than enough! :rotfl:But I do appreciate the sympathy so thank you...:)Kylieminoag wrote: »Hi Ghostlove
It refers back to those lovely furry creatures on wimbledon common who picked up litter...... you'd be amazed how many people at sadsa and tossco drop their receipts before taking them home to do the price challenge online. Wombling is about picking up that unsightly litter and making sure we consumers claim as much revenge as possible from those poor SMs!:D
Also watch out for those receipts that say "you could have earned xx clubcard points" Because if you hand those over with your clubcard at customer services they will kindly add them to your account.:T:T:T(although I have taken to wearing different disguises in my local Tossco so they dont recognise me as the woman that shopped 4 times in one day!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)
Its a bit like playing bingo or scratchcards... - when you key in the details from the receipt on the website you never know whether you will win a prize or not! Great fun
HTH
Happy wombling!
This is fantastic! I had no idea you could do such a thing so thank you kylieminoag it's certainly something I'll keep an eye open for now :T
I just popped on here to report several NSDs and just 8p potted but there were so many new posts and I have had such a laugh from the naughtiness going on that I feel so much more cheerful than when I logged on. Hoorah for all the members old and new and big <<HUGS>> for anyone feeling off colour :kisses3: Hope you feel better soon....
Thanks to sue-uu too. We'll get sorted soon, I'm sure xSealed Pot Challenge #012

Afternoon everyone
tackled the garden today, I didn't know grass could grow so high! I found a tribe of pygmies living in the grass, they're called the f*ckarewe tribe, i know this because every so often one of them jump up and shout where the f*ck are we!
Any how back on track, I potted £3 today and £2.40 yesterday, waiting for DW to come home because she has some £2 coins waiting to be popped into the Chicago & New York 2013 spending fund.
Keep saving everyone & stay safe.Sparky0107 - Sealed pot challenge member #002. Total for SPC3 £1,030.57 Total For SPC 4 £2247.00 Total for SPC 5 £2574.62 :T Total for SPC 6 £4552.91:T

Hi there got room for a new potter??Sealed Pot Challenge #18010

Welcome TheHardWay, we always have room for another potter
Our darling Sue-UU, the keeper of the thread and gold stars (for when we are good) will be along at some point to allocate you your very own one of a kind, not to be duplicated, shared or discarded, glittery number :j :j She will also ask you to read the very first post that tells you lots of very important information.
Grab yourself a pot or anything else that can be sealed and have a hole cut in it for coins (we have had some very scarey attempts at homemade pots, so if you attempt it you MUST post a pic as we all like to see)
Its entirely up to you how you wish to 'pot', there are those of us who pot and dont open till the official opening date (or as near as we can manage as we are an impatient bunch) those that bank at various intervals through the year (if you do this please add what you bank to your siggy for Mr 'Road Kill' Sparky our official counter upper), those that 'pay' themselves for things they dont really want to do . . eg: a £1 for every gym visit, I think you get the drift
But however you do it, feel free to post and tell us what your doing, what youve potted, things that annoy you . . we are a very nosey and like to know the ins and out of a cats . . . . :rotfl:SPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £25/£10000 -
