    Just 2p roadkill today.

    My sister bought me a maccys for lunch and I'm in London at my niece's house for the night. She just treated me to a Chinese. Not sure if I can count them into my wobbling pot?!:undecided

    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    FunBrum - yes I think so. Why not :)

    To my delight this morning I found a brand match for £2.51 just lying there on the path ahead. I scrambled to grab it and have dried it out at home :)

    I went clothes shopping with dd7y yesterday. We got 3 long sleeves, 2 sets of thick 'Frozen' mittens (also for dd4y), and 3 vests from €42.75 for €33.69. Best part: I still had a voucher from dd4y birth and paid with that! I'll claim €33.69.


    And we bought toothpaste free-after-rebate. I'll claim €4.99 - €0.69 (for the stamp) = €4,30.
    Are you wombling, too, in '22? € 58,96 = £ 52.09Wombling in Restrictive Times (2021) € 2.138,82 = £ 1,813.15Wombabeluba 2020! € 453,22 = £ 403.842019's wi-wa-wombles € 2.244,20 = £ 1,909.46Wombling to wealth 2018 € 972,97 = £ 879.54Still a womble 2017 #25 € 7.116,68 = £ 6,309.50Wombling Free 2016 #2 € 3.484,31 = £ 3,104.59

    Well done everyone

    Good wombling day so far:
    Used £1 voucher to get a free Covent Garden soup
    Got 2 packs of 4 muller yoghurts free ( iceland offer when buying 3 Slimming world meals) value £3
    A free newspaper 60p
    Instead of paying weekly at Slimming World I bought 12 weeks for the price of 10 so saved £9.90
    So £14.50 added to total
    A few receipts to add to receipt piggie .

    Another penny added to may haul thanks to COS today. Picked up 2 pairs of Christmas socks for 50p each and a huge box of Thorntons for £1.50 too. I wouldn't have bought them if not reduced, so I'm not adding them to my total, but presents ticked off for the year ahead anyway:money:

    Swapped some pound coins for £2 with OH and had some coppers and 20ps in my change at Mr T so they'll all go in their correct jars :T

    Great forward planning! Not sure the chocolates would last in this house. I have been known to raid the kids' stashes when I've got a craving :embarasse

    Hubby came home with an ex-display 5m extension cable today. Been used in the showroom counter area, so can't now be sold to customers as the seal/wrapper was removed. Was written off and destined for the skip until he swooped in and snaffled it :T RRP is £8.95, but I'll add £2 to my total as it is second-hand (and a little dusty :rotfl:)

    Great wombling everyone - especially liking the Frozen mittens Siebrie. It is VERY cold here tonight and the hills are now snow-capped, so I think winter has arrived. Out with my bobble hat and (unFrozen) mittens me thinks!

    My daughter decided to stay at home with us for another week as she has a week of Annual leave, so she gave me £50. I picked up 1p roadkill in Brixton.

    #33 Total = £86.51

    Good morning wombles!:hello:

    I couldn't get to a WiFi connection yesterday so I couldn't report my wombling efforts.:(

    I only had a 2 mile hike yesterday, and it was dark so didn't see any shrapnel lying about! I did however snap up a boxed Tesco finest range chocolate cake, as a parting gift from my niece as I left London. I'm not sure of the price but will update later.

    Thanks Bob I will add £12 or my free maccys meal and Chinese meal.:j

    Right...after looking after my granddaughter this morning, I'm off to see what else I can womble!:T
