Thanks Foxholes and Dizzy.

I realised I hadn't included a pretty big womble in my total yesterday. I think it is one anyway. I got 12 free weeks at a slimming club, adding £59.50 to my total (Joining fee £10 + 12 weeks of fees£49.50)

Plus today £1.46 on Qmee

Total for October now £161.65.

I sooo need this womble! When, where, how?

Another travel mug wombled by DH. I'll claim £2 for this but TBH I'm not sure we need any more :rotfl: I got 94p as a price match reduction off my bill at Mr T, but no good YS items this time...boo...

Ooh cauliflower curry sounds yummy Siebrie!

Hows this. £18 in coupons from Pampers after I complained about a pack that gave us a lot of washing to-do shall we say

I stumbled across this thread yesterday and was so excited!

I've sort of been wombling solo since April. I have been working hard since January to pay off my debt (Exactly 14 days until I can click send on my final CC payment, woop woop:T). However in April, I began to struggle with my slightly tight budget and feel a tiny bit "forever skint" style deprived.

To combat this I set up a spread in my Bullet Journal to track any incoming money or value so I could see how much money there was around and feel more abundant. I began to log when I got value for something without paying and also searching the ground for roadkill (I didn't call it that though) and picking up scratchcards just in case etc.

So far this month (I can't go back further as I don't have my old Journal to hand) I have amassed £100.69. :beer:

All this and I have been shamelessly chucking away my supermarket receipts and not pricematching. Fool! I had a go at collecting a few this morning as I walked past. Found 10 and not a bean on any of them but I'm definitely gung ho for trying new ways of adding to my womble total.

So... Can I play?

Of course, you sound like a wonderful new friend for us to womble with

I have accidentally wombled £1400.

But it is from those bloody Child Tax Credit Muppets, so I won't actually count it until they tell me in writing it is mine, mine, all mine!!!

It is really bad when you log into your bank account (on a daily basis) and your heart drops when you see a balance higher than you expected. 'Cos you KNOW they have messed up again and will blame you for it. Grrrr

Dizzy - I remembered that Slimming World used to do a "SW on Referral Scheme" which your doctor could send you on... I thought it had closed but googled anyway as I wanted to head back after battling with the same 5lbs all year. It has ended but it turns out my council has kept up the scheme! You have to be *ahem* large enough to qualify but you can choose from SW, WW or RC. I applied despite only just being above and was accepted (Woohoo!). The process was really easy. Worth a quick google to see if your area has something similar. The best thing is that if I meet the goal they have set (A really reasonable 5% or 10lbs ish loss) in those 12 weeks, I can get another 12 weeks free. :cool:

Thanks for the welcome Bob!

Well it seems the CTC muppets have underpaid me, so I recorded the webchat on my phone where they confirmed they had underpaid me and that the money ~IS mine and they will not ask for it back. I think that just about covers me.
