    Cheers Bob and CCL it's beautiful here and the weather is fab.
    I've managed to browse the Hippy market without spending and there are some great walks here and f course the beach.
    Still trying to womble even though I'm all inclusive so not costing me a bean!
    The wombling bug is in my blood!! ;)

    A mate bought me a couple of drinks last night to try and keep me in the pub as I only went in for one. 8p in nectar points but I sent a couple of things back that I bought so lost 75p in nectar points.

    Isn't it funny how wombling becomes such a part of your life that you completely forget to report them? Last week, a lady brought a large box of walnuts to church. She was clearing out her shed, and these were last year's harvest. I wombled about a kilo, worth €3, and have been feeding them to my family as a snack every day since.

    Funbrum you sound as if you are having the time of your life on your holiday. I wish someone would treat me to a free holiday. :)

    Aww thanks sugarbaby125 believe me, I'm truly grateful and I'm so lucky to have a generous friend. I do help him a lot but I do it because I love helping people and not for what I can gain. I do believe in karma though, and believe what you give out comes back to you. :)

    I have finally wombled my first item here! A book! They were in the VIP lounge and you can take them and don't have to return them! It's a medieval mystery which I love. It retailed at £7.99 and is as new.
    I'm so chuffed with myself for being able to do a bit of wombling! :)

    Hello Wombles

    Had a very satisfying day womble wise. Started off by finding 20p , then later 5p & later still a £1 coin. Popped into Iceland and they had £1 steaks (for 4) then at the market stall I managed to get 2 large potatoes for 25p. So have had dinner for free today :)
