Yay! Thought I hadn't been accepted! I know what you mean about getting what you need when you need it. My biggest wombles in that direction have been cars. Twice! (I have some wonderful friends.) But since neither was wombled this week...

Yesterday at Sainsbees:

Mango YS 45p reduced from £1.25
Money off offers total £4
Price comparison £1.18 cheaper (Never saw the point of the bits of paper telling me it was cheaper before, because they didn't seem to be worth money! I'll know better in future )
22p Carpet Kill from the living room floor.

Can I count a stash of 2p & 1p coins I found squirrelled away and forgotten? £2.09 in total.

Today
Wombled 2 M&S butterfly buns (1 for me, 1 for DD). No idea of the price - left over from a pack of 4.

So that's either £6.20 or £8.29, depending on whether the hoard counts or not. Plus the cost of the buns.

Not done this before. What do experienced wombles think? :cool:

It's a lot more than I thought anyway. Wow! Will count the nectar points when I spend them. (30 plus the extra ones I get for paying using a Mr S credit card - paid in full, so MSE?) :A:rotfl:

Everyone welcome here.

Wombling 2 cars?? Wow. How did that come about?

I'm not a stickler for rules but personally I don't think I'd count change from around the house as it isn't free to you is it. You must have taken it out from the bank at some point so it's not a freebie. But I am happy for people to make their own rules for this challenge so if you want to count it please do. Roadkill is different as you find it outside the home. So its money you wouldn't have had if you didn't stop to pick it up. But as I say you can run this however you like really.

I'd count points earned due to spending on a cc as they are still a free biproduct of the spending.

Well done you are off to are flying start:T

I have to say I have not wombled a single receipt since the article with Mr 7 Hours in a Windy Car Park. Simply nothing to be found. Whether that is down to super efficient trolley staff or other wombles I don't know.

Coincidence I'm sure. I still had a fat 33 pointer slap itself up against my outside bin today and beg me to take it into the house

True Bob. Hope you are feeling well after your op? How's you little munchkin?
You have to be so careful when the excitement of road kill hits you! If you're like me, all I see is the treasure!:rotfl:
When I found the fiver last week, I bent down and was nearly ran over by a wayward shopping trolley!:eek:

Hi FB
I'm getting there thank you. Tum still sore but I'm much better in myself thanks. Little lady is very well. Although teething so we have drool galore

Oh no do be careful for those trollies:rotfl: I've stopped suddenly just as I'm about to go into Mr S before and been rammed by a silver surfer with tunnel vision:eek:

I've wombled some Yeokens but I think i've got all the things that I wanted, enough tea towels for a life time, does anyone know where to post to offer them to folks on the MSE boards? (Or even if you're allowed to offer them. I have no idea!)
Also 5p last night in local supermarket
