    A piece of bakery apple pie from the boss for a colleague with a birthday: €2.
    And 4 I/kea bags full of girl's clothes from a colleague, who has 3 daughters a few years older than mine. All branded: Burberry, Hilfiger, etc. New value: about €2.000 I'd say, but I'll claim €250.

    Today is my lucky day! I also wombled a small box full of toothpaste, as part of a Word of Mouth campaign. I got selected to try and hand out samples of P.arodontax toothpaste; every week I have to write a little report about how I appreciate the product and about the conversations I have had about it. The toothpaste retails at €3,99 (GBP3) per tube, so I reckon there's €30 in that box, including a branded tootbrush and a mouthwash.

    Hi folks.:hello:
    Just popped in to say well done on your wombling, and keep it up!
    My free trip I wombled is calculated to, flight £267, I've estimated £3 per day for food, as that's with us eating in and the salads, fish and fruit is cheap here. So £150 & maybe £50 for drink, totalling £467. :beer:
    I had already had a 2 week holiday booked A/I on the Island so my return flight is prepaid! Not a bad womble really! :)
    I'm managing not to spend anything as there is plenty to do for free. I still haven't found any roadkill though!;)

    FunBrum it all sounds amazing. Lovely good etc.

    Today my wombles have been a plate of ham sandwiches, some cooked sausages, a cake board, & some birthday candles all from a party I was at. They were all headed for the bin!

    And I found 1p roadkill.

    Oh Funbrum I am so jealous of you. :D You must be loving it out there.
    As for me, I had a good wombling day yesterday. My mam is moving house soon and so is decluttering her house. I wombled 3 Vaseline lip balms (£3), 8 Kilner jars (god knows how much) and a couple of unworn jumpers from my stepdad for dh (£20). I also got a free bag of cat litter (£12) due to my pet shop loyalty scheme...
