    I found a hooded top by the side of a country road, it turns out it is a make that I like. I'm going to wash it and see if it fits, if not I will sell it on ebay.

    That could've been yours! ;)

    Lol - didn't consider that...could impact on my totals to date (if I could remember them ;))
    Think I'm going to give it a try too — though not sure I'll be much good. I once walked over a £10 note in the middle of the pavement when walking the dogs. Only know because my dad saw it and pocketed it! Grrr!

    You'll soon be eagle-eyed!

    Welcome aboard the wombling train :wave:

    Did some deep clean hovering in a scary dark closet yesterday and found 8p, plus some other less desirable things (left by the previous owners I hastily add :eek:). Plus about a hundred bits of tiny technical lego pieces.

    I've wombled a few receipts with points on from the supermarket's garbage bin. I hasten to add that it only contains receipts that people throw away after the self check-out. I just pick up a handful every time I walk past, and sort them in the car.

    Hi Everyone

    Siebrie - At the moment, each of those, up to 5 per day, could earn you 5p if you load them up to Checkoutsmart. They are doing a thing where it doesnt matter what you buy, just load them up. So thats 25p a day for nothing.

    My wombles for the day amount to £5.28 for doing very little.
    I have earned - £0.20p for uploading 4 recipets to Checkoutsmart
    £0.25 for uploading my milk reciept to Shoptize. It was also a discounted from £1.00 to 0.89 container so double reward.
    £1.02 brand match voucher earned from business food shop
    £2.20 in tips
    Purchased 3 YS 500g beef minces for £1.50 each instead of £2 each. So £1.50 saved across the 3.

    A good day for the wombles!

    Plus I nabbed 3 reciepts which have 6 clubpoints on them to claim tommorow.

    Bob

    Some great wombling there Bob and all...I was in a cafe today and seriously considered bending under a strangers chair to pick the penny up that was at her feet LOL :):):):)

    Was in the msterT yesterday at the self service checkout and lo and behold when I was scanning my YS items ;) out dropped 20p piece. Nearly jumped for joy...plus 16 pts on the way out in a trolley LOL :)

    Went to visit me mam who lives a good distance away and I have to pass through a very big town so decided to call into the supermarket to scout for points. Picked up a 12pt one went in and got the lady at the customer services to add on.....started a general conversation about how long does one have to add your points on ;) she said "you only have 14 days and I am only allowed to add 2 receipts a day" ... heres me OHHH is that all ;)....she said " you wouldn't believe it people use to take them out of trollies and bins and land to me in handfuls"...I replied...Well I never whatever next ;););) lol lol lol

    went to the Mirks and Sparkies close by and left with 2 carrier bags for just over a fiver so happy :)

    how sad am I :)

    Bob, your post reminded me I had some receipts to upload to CheckoutSmart and saw that not only can you use receipts from online orders, but the range of retailers has increased hugely!

    No wombling for me yesterday as I was indoors all day doing unpacking and housework, but today is a new day...
