We were out and about on a spendy day today. You should have seen the horror on my dh's face when ds got down on the floor in front of the c0instar machine in Mr M to look for roadkill. However, he wombled 37p, which he promptly donated to the cat vet fund. Good lad.

Absolute A star to the boy! My son does the same thing. The MSE force is strong in our families

Hi wombles...:j

Bob....how are you with you little ones? I was thinking of you last night. Hard work isn't it?:A
I went out for dinner last night with a £20 gift card. I covered dinner drinks and one dessert. My friend had a free dessert as it was his birthday, it would have been £4.95. There was also a 25% discount off the bill! Not sure I can count it all....What do you think Bobarella?:o

A replacement Boot card came with 200 free points! I will add them when I cash them in.:D

My poorly friend asked me to get throat sweets from Sainsbobs late last night and with a triple points coupon, I clocked up 6 nectar points! Woohoo!:rotfl:

Hi FunBrum

Thank you for thinking of me how kind of you. I think I saw most hours last night. But when I look at that tiny face I can't feel too bad about it.
I think you absolutely must count all of that in your score. It was all free to you so it counts in the rules of this challenge.

My Polish colleague gave me Polish cookies and pretzels as a christmas gift, but I gave her dried sausage in return (all these items were local, and bought when we went to our native countries over christmas), so I won't claim a womble; the value seems equal.

Another colleague shared L.eonidas chocolates, which I'll claim for 20 cents each.

That's an interesting perspective on wombling Siebrie. It was free to you but the equivalent came from your own shopping purse...hummmm. ..the philosopher in me wants to stroke my beard (metaphorical beard) and think about whether if you are given a gift it negates the gift you give from a financial point of view...sleep addled brain not coping too well with all the complexity

Bought a reduced item in M&S and realised when I got home that I'd been charged full price. Claimed my £1.10 back again today when I was in town. Would never have bothered before joining this forum. Can't believe in 8 days that i've saved £14.17. You are all an inspiration to me.

Good on you DM. I remember doing the same thing last year in Mr T. And the checkout man was really impressed that I'd even checked my reciept. It is only a little amount sure but if they overcharged everyone that sort of money the fat cats would be even fatter. Every penny's a prisoner right!

Nice one MM. That's a brilliant comp win!

Just 1p for a receipt I found yesterday that was uploaded to CoS.

Yes I saw the offer was back up on COS and ClickSnap. All adds up. Your signature is looking so good there too!

Would love to join in, now to add up how much I've already Wombled sice Jan 1st.

3p left on the upstairs shelf by dd, waiting to go in the wombling tin.
Also the £2.00 fairy had been last night with £6.00 but I think I"ll keep the £2 s separate savings.

Another 1p on CoS yesterday from a wombled receipt yesterday.
