Hello all - I've thought about my Dyson dilemma and decided that until I actually receive the insurance pay out, I'll only claim the £100 off RRP. As and when I am paid for the vacuum cleaner that's been written off, I will add the difference to my total.
I'm also taking the 1000 extra points and I think I may boost points for a treat out, so will wait to add this amount to my running total until then. Two days of 4 eggs a day, 37p pocket find, plus £5 off our meal at Harvester this lunchtime with the kids makes this weekend a great wombling occasion.

No road kill, but I did manage to womble 8 more Active Kids vouchers for someone at work. No good for my wombling score, of course, but I feel better!
ETA: That lot doesn't look very healthy, but we do eat other things too...
Also, the floor cleaner wasn't to add to anybody's lunchbox!!A budget is like a speed sign - a LIMIT not a TARGET!!
