    Another 10p today courtesy of OH. Yet again, his pockets emptied on the bedroom carpet and he didn't clean it up. Mum always said it was a tip for the cleaner :D

    Added this 10p to Mr Bumble, who is the treat collecting moneybox

    Excellent!

    You could also consider selling the hat on ebay DM. I have done that with a pair of converse that I found. Sold them for £10 :) it's worth keeping an eye on what people dump around clothing and shoe recycling bins for that reason.

    Shall I share with you all the fruits of my labour's? A measly penny. It was too wet and all the paper I spotted was soaked. Hey ho....

    a penny is a penny Bob :)


    update found change lying around the living room 90p Its been thrown there since before Christmas so I claimed it :):):)


    also found in a car park ... gorgeous duck egg blue coloured pvc shopping bag that folds into a very nice handled pouch. Its covered with pictures of horses. So lovely. I looked inside and it had little ants in it and a bit wet so it must have been ignored by a lot of passers by but not this one :):):)


    took it home and washed its gorgeous .. might sell it at a later date or might keep it . happy with this find.


    must start a running total and try and keep updating it. Away she goes singing UNDERGROUND OVERGROUND ;):) LA LA LA LA LA

    Thanks Bob,

    I used my Mr S voucher yesterday, and that was £7.50 off my shopping. And I got a voucher for 86p off next time (mustn't lose it, that's my downfall).
    Not been out today so no wombling

    Hi autumnleaves, Love this idea. I'll look out for the coins that fall out of my partners and my sons pockets. They can be my cleaning tip as they can't be bothered picking them up mostly, 1p and 5p coins.. Keep on wombling :D

    Hee hee! It's cheeky but it works! Maybe one day he'll notice but until then, in the pot they go :D:rotfl:

  • I'm still a trainee womble.
    I got 8 bread rolls 39p and 5 cheeses xmas cheeseboard for 1.45 thanks to YS at Marks and sparks.
    I had a few issues with my self service checkout (why does a man always start trying to pile stuff up and scan whilst I'm putting my stuff in my bag and putting my card in to pay? This keeps happening to me!) anyway the tills lady came after me as I walked out, she grabbed me by my arm and I thought she thought I was a shoplifter!
    She asked whether I paid cash and I said no. As I got out the door I thought there must have been money left at the till which I didn't spot/womble!
