    Found 5p on the pavement and the T shirts and hot drink travel mugs DH promised have materialised. Reasonable quality, so am claiming £5 for all three T shirts and £2.50 each for the travel mugs :D

    Your total is amazing already!

    Hi Sophie
    Yes they can you need 6 I think. The loyalty cards are normally on the side of the cups. You'd need to find out how much 1 coffee is maybe check on maccers website, then divide by 6 to work out value per bean.

    Sophieo16......Bob's right. Collect 6 on the little card to receive a free coffee. My family and friends pass them on to me, as they know I love a freebie and I will trample old ladies under-foot to get a bean!:rotfl:
    Enjoy collecting the beans....it's addictive!:D

    I went Karaoke last night, sat on my stool and found £1.50 on the floor. Yellow sticker large fruit salad half price saving me £1.25. Had a pair of shoes heeled today that normally cost £5.50 to heel, but my lovely shoe mender decided not to charge me. I was so shocked at his generosity I had to check that he really did not want me to pay him. :T

    #33 current total = £288.26

    Sugarbaby125, what a very kind shoe mender!


    Today's wombles are 1 apple from Reception fruit basket, and one container of mascarpone that my boss brought for a colleague-on-a-diet, which said colleague chose not to eat. Since I forgot my sandwiches today, I'm going to have it for lunch. Am now looking for quick microwaved apple ideas to make it a rather more interesting lunch :)

    Edited to add: microwaved apple with butter and brown sugar in the core was lovely with whipped mascarpone.
    Another colleague did not want the two slices of bread that came with the soup he ordered, so I ate them (I always have butter and jam in the office fridge), and in the evening I ate a cup of instant curry soup, but that was from my spare stash. Worked until 20.30 today, unpaid overtime, some big deal going on and boss needed extra info. I will add 20 cents for the bread.
    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

    Aww, how lovely of him :happyhear

    Just finished putting away my online food shop and with price matching substitutions, vouchers and promotions, I ve saved £12.54 which is excellent. I'll update my total ASAP.

    I also got in the post, some money off vouchers from Tesco for a three week period (minimum spend of £60) that I can I include as and when they get used.
