Hi Wombles, Last two days nothing. Well except a little boys blue hat which I had spotted lying in the rain for the previous 3 days. I've washed it and put it in the bag for the charity shop.Pay ALL your debts by Xmas 2016 - No 30 £981.00/£3000:

At the weekend DH and I helped his boss move some things out of his mum's old house as she's sold it and has moved in temporarily with them until she sorts somewhere permanent. Today DH arrived home with a bottle of Prosecco and a box of Belgian choccies as a thank you to us. How kind! Can I claim gifts as wombles? Not sure if it seems a bit off to do so, as I'll have to look up the costs of the presents...any thoughts? I've already [STRIKE]ripped the lid off[/STRIKE] opened the chocolates - yummy - but the wine is in the cupboard as I'm being a good girl and determined to finish Dry January...:A0

Adding 75p for getting 3 YS loaves for 25p each instead of 50p each.
Pampers had sent me a sample nappy and a half pack of baby wipes for which I'm claiming £1 nominal value." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

Today's wombles include Russian cookies from a colleague from the Russian office, a box of chocolate covered prunes from same, a business lunch (organised by me
) with only two leftover baguettes that will be mine and dh's lunch tomorrow, and about to be ordered: department dinner in a one Michelin-starred restaurant.
You see that I ordered with the department in mind: lunch for 7, and only 2 baguettes left, and everyone was full.
I don't really know how to price all this, so I'll just count my normal day's snack, lunch and dinner money: € 3.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 = £ 3,104.590 -

Good morning Wombles.
Slim pickings this week. Last night I only managed to womble 3 caramel bars from my son-in-law. He had been to A$&@ and grabbed a load of YS and gave me the bars. They would have been 47p but he got them for 10p each, so I will just claim 30p.Living a frugal retirement without treading on the planet :T
