Ugh hate that. It's like thinking you have an orange revel and it turns out to be coffee:rotfl:

Double ugh....chocolate mixed with coffee or orange is rank. The smell of orange chocolate actually makes me gag. What savage invented that blend??? Surely mint is the only acceptable partner for chocolate?

Evening all - I've enjoyed reading some of these posts as I am a wombler and didn't even know it until I heard the term being used! My favourite way of collecting Tesco receipts is at the self-service tills, and usually the best tills to go to are at the Tesco express stores as they generally don't keep them as tidy as the big stores do but...oh my word, do I feel like walking out with the bins that are full of receipts, it really greaves me to see them full...all those points to be had!!


The only one I'm not brave enough to go for are the McDonalds bean stickers, I don't feel as though I can be very discreet with picking up some random stranger's cup just to get a free cup of tea...I might do one day!


Just waiting for my call from Deal or No Deal which I applied for.....along with thousands of others no doubt!

McDo's coffee beans can often be rescued from discarded coffee cups kindly(?) provided by untidy litter droppers or overflowing bins.

12 plastic tubs with tightfitting lids from business lunch (soups). I'll be making soup tonight from the carrots mentioned above, so these tubs come just in time!
4 tubs with soup still in them (unopened), for freezer.
4 small sandwiches (my lunch tomorrow)
1 large chicken salad (unopened), value €9.40 (GBP 6.80), which will be dh's lunch tomorrow.


Off now to see if I can womble some left-over macaroons and apple pie

Used to love receiving a tip off for leftovers after a business lunch when I was working! Even better was attending business lunches. Retired now so all those perks have gone.

DH's friend who works for a big food manufacturer brought round a selection of goodies this evening for us, as he is allowed to select from products with short sell-by dates, discontinued lines or surplus stock. As long as he can manually carry the items, he can help himself :T

Eight chocolate puddings, a tub of spreadable cheese, a block of butter, twelve fat-free yogurts, a dozen white chocolate mousse and six Greek-style fruit yogurts. Short dates but I doubt they'll last long :rotfl: BTW his company is a BIG food manufacturer and there was a variety of branded products and own-name items, which I think shows that sometimes the SM own-brands are made by the big boys, but just cost less to buy. Or, in my case are frreeee! It's got to be about £6.00-worth of yummy stuff. Happy days

Oh, and four eggs from our feathered ladies. TTFN x

You friend must have big hands and arms!

Not really. The coins were in two seperate areas too. Complete coincidence to spot them so close together this week I think. I do wonder if it's money people have dropped on the way to feed parking meters?

£1.13 in coins today! My best roadkill day to date, I think

Also have had 9 eggs from our hens over the past two days and I found an earing in the boys' playroom wedged in between two floorboards. The metal was crushed but the stone is intact. If it's a diamond, then it's a whopper! Might have to take it into a jewellers to see. This old house is turning up treasures all the time!

Oh and my mum gave me a clip-top box for babywipes, which are like gold dust!

Well done Dizzy

Today I used a £1.50 money off coupon in Mr S, that I'd wombled. Think thats about it for me!
