    13p quidco
    2 pairs of trousers from charity shop £3.00 each
    2 pairs of shorts for DS2 £2.00 each
    10 Famous Five books for 50p each
    6 large maps for 50p each, think I might use them as temporary wallpaper, if I am not going to have a holiday this year, at least I can look at where I might be going next year!
    £9.50 Tesco vouchers through the door yesterday, so my shopping bill came to £2.75 and I should not have to go shopping again until Monday at the earliest. Got £3 M&S coupon through the post today too, no minimum spend.

    Trying for a very frugal weekend. Keep on wombling!

    I've just met a lovely old man holidaying with his wife and friends. He produced a bag full of earrings that he makes for a hobbie. He doesn't sell them but just tells you to take as many as you want. I took 2 pair. They are lovely and I thought how kind he was. He said he gets pleasure out of making something and giving them away. It makes him happy.
    Now every time I wear them, I will think of this kind old man :)
    I think they would get £1 each at a carboot so that's what I will add...£2
    If you bought them retail they would be a lot more. Lovely earrings :)

    I wombled 10 large bags full of wood to burn on my log burner on the boat the other day :D while I was cutting them up a neighbor popped his head over, I got chatting and explained I owned a boat, turns out he had boats a while back and had a large leisure battery which is as good as new sitting in the shed and asked if I wanted it :D I said yes straight away ( I never say no to a freebie ;) ) I am so happy, in total everything I got would cost about £200 if I were to buy it :D I'm a very happy wombler!!

    Impressed with your boating haul Azzzaa - what luck!
  • 20 pence roadkill! Apolgised to my work colleague when I stopped to pick up money that was on the ground and he went "Why are you apologising? I do the same thing", wombles are everywhere!
