    Hi Bob and wombles,
    A grand total of 34p for me today. 26p donation from my son and 8p roadkills. Yipee I'm acutually finding roadkills again. My total now stands at £59.25. I just kept a running total from the beginning of January but now I wish now I'd put the money in a tin like some of you wise wombles. I'll aim to do that next year. Well a girl can wish. Have a great weekend everyone and hope you're feeling much better Bob.

    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Hi All

    Adding £50 in Amazon vouchers made for online focus group participation (yes whilst board in my hospital room)

    Dexsmummy - thanks for the kind wishes. I don't keep a pot with my total in. I use roadkill as I go in self service machines. And vouchers etc get used as and when. I save seperate for things like emergency fund and other pots so wombling is a bonus I use for things like making Payments a day etc.

    Feeling particularly weak today. I think a 7 day period of basically no food has laid me low as I've ever been. Going to rest a lot today. But any wise wombles with tips for helping get your energy and strength back after a long illness appreciated.

    Bob

    Hey BOB!!! Well done on the £50!

    And don't do too much too soon, it will come back and bite you on the bum.

    I would love to join in! I sorta already do this without realising :rotfl:

    Yesterday I went to Boots with my friend and spent nothing, but she offered to use my card to get her points, £3.28 in total!!

    :T

    Can I ask what supermarkets you get the receipts/points from? Is it like when you find say Tesco receipts are you able to go into Tesco and just get them added on to your clubcard as if you forgot to use your card at the time? Or is that not it?

    Get well soon Bob!

    3p for me today. Also cooking a pheasant a colleague gave me. Free food :)

    I also applied to switch bank accounts to TSB as I like the sound of the benefits that come with their current account so will, all being well, get £100 next month :D

    20p roadkill on my way to work yesterday and 1p found on a classroom floor at work.

    Today got 2 free tickets for the Ritzy Brixton. My daughter and I really enjoyed watching the film 'The Lobster'. £26 wombled.

    Got a really lovely chest of drawers which are solid wood second hand for my daughter's bedroom with the £60 my sister Joyce gave me weeks ago. I only had to add another £9, as the chest of drawers cost £69. My daughter really loves her 'new' chest of drawers.

    #33 current total = £327.48

    Hi wombles,
    Bob, Heinz tomato soup does the trick for me when I'm feeling poorly.Give that a go and hopefully you'll be feeling stronger.
    I've had a good days wombling. My daughter gave me 34p loose change, I found 1p roadkill and I got a free Benefit cosmetic with O2 priority. I'm going to add a pound to my total.

    Hi Kayteehee - yes, as long as the till receipts are less than 14 days old you just jog on up to the helpdesk and ask them to put the points on your card. Lots of people leave their receipts in the trolleys.

    I never got more than £3 in vouchers until I started wombling. It all adds up. Very quickly too.

    And I just checked Qu1dco account and I have £12 due to me, so that will be in my bank account in the next 5 days. Must have been from something I bought last year.

    Won't sniff at a free tenner!
