    Hope you had a lovely birthday Sugarbaby :)

    We went to a wedding this weekend down in Sussex, and kindly wombled two nights accommodation from friends, but as we usually stay with friends and family, I'm not claiming this.

    We did have a Maccy D lunch and won a milkshake and a hot drink on the Monopoly game. £1.59 and £1.19 respectively. I also found 20p and collected 11 eggs this morning from the hen house. Just popped the girls back in the run for the night and picked up another two = £1.30.

    Plus, we called in on my SiL on the way home and she gave the boys four brand new story books that she saw and thought they'd like. All about knickers, bogeys and trumping, so...yes, they do :rotfl: Although I'm not sure I would have bought them new at their retail price, I would give 50p each, so another £2 for these.

    Weekend womble total of £6.28 :D

    No I have just taken an educated guess, it could be more, it could be less. Fingers crossed it is less.

    Morning all.
    Spent the weekend in London and only found 1p lol.

    Someone had placed it half way up the exit escalator at Holborn ... I had a real giggle when I picked it up and wondered did someone place it there deliberately. How sad am I :)

    Found a £10 shop scan voucher that I had received about a year ago and forgot about.

    Used £10 Clubcard Vouchers for £40 meal at Prezo at the weekend. All those pennies soon add up.

    I wombled a new ream of plotter paper at work, and I donated it to my dd's kindergarten. It retails at GBP 36! I won't count it, though, as it never even entered the house.


    My work recently changed plotters (printer for technical drawings A3 and A2 size), so the paper was just standing there in its box, and the technical department Assistant gave it to me :)

    Today I wombled a cheese and ham ciabatta which was left over from a business lunch, still in its plastic wrapper, which will be dh's lunch tomorrow. Also, a bowl of salad with lots of 'nice bits' in, which will be part of our dinner tonight. Total, about €7,50.

    Accidentally wombled 600 C0stas points for a bad review of the Birmingham Airport branch.

    I have the electricians in our new house doing a full rewire before we move in, they have agreed to start at the top and work their way down so that I can go in and start stripping wallpaper once they have done whatever it is that takes them days to do. Roofy man (who ought to be called Rufus, but is unimaginatively called Dave)should be replacing skylights next week, then it is full steam ahead with moving in over the Bank Holiday weekend and our life in yet another new postcode begins.

    Also rang the Married Person Tax Allowance peoples to make sure I was registered for last year as well as this year. Should have a cheque in the post before the end of June for last year's allowance. Will no doubt buy a few rolls of wallpaper with that! Martin told me to do it, so I did.

    Also wombled 3 months free Sky Movies and Sky Sports channels by keeping the V1rg1n contract DH stupidly took out for 18 months and would cost stupid money to cancel, when we move, just by flirting a bit.

    Now wondering if it will work on the electricians...

    Not spending much, as am too busy packing boxes, my house looks like the Arg0s warehouse.

    Keep on wombling!
