Remember you're a womble - 2016

System

Hello everyone :wave:
It has been a long time since I posted, but I've still been wombling. I don't think I've kept my signature fully up-to-date, but it's near enough there.

Biggies for me are re-arranging the mortgage, saving £190/year and renegotiating broadband (so it's free other than line rental) saving £30/year

OH pockets keep adding to the change pots where he doesn't realise he's dropping 5ps and coppers

Had another £10 amazon voucher from i-say.

I was given passes to the tennis this week, which would have cost us £480!!!!! _pale_ I've not added that to my wombling total as there's no way we'd have gone if it weren't for that. I only really add things to my total if I would have bought them normally or I have saved money on something.

AL thats a fantastic freebie. Personally I'd say that counts as a huge womble.

Sugarbaby You have a big family to keep you busy then, 2 is proving a handful so far

Had a JL voucher for free hot drink and cake that expired on Thursday, so I used it on Tuesday and just got a lemon cupcake that's normally £2.25

Wombling total - £42.72!

Bob I am so happy to have 4 children, but life is so much easier now that my 2 daughters and older son are adults. I will always feel that my greatest achievement is my 4 children no matter how many other skills and experiences I have in my own life.

I also have 3 granddaughters and 1 grandson, who also give me lots of joy.

As I am the 11th of my parents 12 children, I have a very big family.

One of my Uncles died on Tuesday. He lost his battle with Cancer. He is finally at peace. I feel a bit shell shocked that there will be another family Funeral after the death of my oldest brother George so recently.

We are going ahead with the plans for my son's 16th birthday as I do not want the death of his Great Uncle to overshadow my son's 16th birthday.

Found 1p roadkill on the way home from Autism Rocks

Got a free reusable canvas bag for which I will claim £2

Got a free cupcake for which I will claim 50p

Bought a Groupon restaurant voucher for a Portuguese meal for a 2 course meal with the 1st glass of wine for 2 people for only £16.15 saving me £32.85 on the usual prices

#33 current total = £3054.19

Oh Sugarbaby I am very sorry to hear of your loss. There is never a good time to go through that pain but it sounds as though you have had your fair share and more recently. Your posts are always cheery & enjoyable & it is apparent you appreciate life as it comes, which in itself is a gift.
And growing up in a family of 12 must have been an interesting experience too!

I won't be updating my wombles in GBP for now, as it seems to be in freefall at the moment Good luck to all of you trying to cope with this.

Gosh, seems ages since I last posted. Still been wombling but lost track of totals, so I'm picking up where I left off...

DH returned from a business training course with a clutch of fancy tea bags and biscuits. I'll claim £1 as I have no idea what individual items would cost.

I've seen a huge number of plums and apples starting to grow in the orchard, so hopeful of a bumper crop again this autumn

YS sweet chilli noodles reduced to £1.55 saving me 45p on the normal price

Received £7.51 from Quidco Clicksnap cashback :T ( I bought 12 Schwartz bottles of meat seasonings for £12 in Tesco as they were 2 for £2 on 3 separate receipts so that I could upload the receipts for the £7.50 cashback on Quidco, so effectively I got 12 bottles of Schwartz seasoning for only £4.50 :j)

Bob I do enjoy being from a big family, as there is always someone available to support you and listen to you. I try to stay positive no matter what awful events our family goes through. I am grateful for every single day of my past life and my present and my future life. I try to make the best of every single day. I am trying new experiences for myself and not waiting for some more convenient time in my future, as I never know what future is in store for me.

I have made a long list of free events to attend and places of interest to visit in the 8 weeks of holiday that I will have from work starting from Tuesday 5th July. As it is unpaid, I had the foresight to save £1,000 to make sure me and my children could enjoy July and August without any financial concerns.

#33 current total = £3062.15
