    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:

    XLC2

    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...:)
    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 :o

    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 x

    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.

    Just wrote a long post then deleted it by mistake so this is the edited version because I can't be bothered to write it all again!

    1. Potted 51p :)
    2. Went to yoga for first time in months - ouch :eek:
    3. Joined the gym :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Sparky - my Mum told me the one about the pygmie tribe, thought for a bit it might have been my dear sweet Nana but then I remembered she taught me the rhyme about the pheasant plucker!!!

    Welcome TheHardWay, we always have room for another potter :D

    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 :D)

    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:

    Been on a coupon shop today :D My favourite saturday pass time :D

    Had to pay an extra 99p in the 99p shop due to going over the coupon amount and asked the girl for 'a couple of 50p's for the collection tins outside' so she gave me all my change in 50p's ^^, so 6 x 50p in the 'Jakes Uniform Fund' tin
