Remember you're a womble - 2016

Dizzy_Imp

Hello everyone - not been on here in a while as real life is super busy but I have still been wombling!

I'll list everything, otherwise I will ramble on and on...

2 pairs of safety gloves from DH's cousin - 50p per pair.
12 eggs (at least!) @10p each
£1.82 promotional savings in Morrisons
A free roll of birthday wrap in Tesco = £1.25
A bag of clothes for Small from my friend that contained a pair of grey jeans, a red raincoat with navy stars on, a thick winter shirt, a school jumper and a pair of shoes (far too big as friend's son is Bigfoot). I think I'll claim £3 for this.
Three school jumpers from the second hand sale at school. Look brand new, so very pleased as they cost £6 each through the uniform shop. I paid £1 each, so will claim £3 in my womble total for these, as they're not new. I'm glad I checked there before placing my order!

Sub total = £11.27

However...my biggest, and best womble to date is a refund from the Council Tax department as our house needs repairs following the flood. They have exempted us for 12 months from 1st December 2015 and have issued notice of a refund being paid of £509.97 that I have paid Dec-March :j The exemption will mean we should be £2200 better off as we are in Band G. Not sure if I still have to pay monthly, then claim it back or if the Council will stop taking the money for the remainder of the exemption period.

I've also got a refund coming for the remainder on my car insurance since I cancelled it, but don't have that amount yet so...

Total wombles this week = £521.24 but an incredible £1132.13 from the beginning of 2016.

Dizzy is very happy with that!

Wombled 2 x litres of Almond Breeze from T3sc0

In the free magazine -first page- is a voucher for £1 off Almond Breeze, sweetened, unsweetened or original, my store only stocks the unsweetened version which is down to £1 (50p off) so it is free.

I went round twice and have 7 more vouchers which do not expire until 2nd April -
- if you know anyone who uses it.
