Let's add another 21p to today's total courtesy of OH's pocket, which emptied it onto the sofa as he stood up and walked off.

Lol A/L remind me not to sit on your sofa without my pockets nailed shut (good work )

5p found while litterpicking at work today. Good start to the year!

Well done. GG I may have to geek out this year and record which coins I find the most frequently. 5p is up there for the top contender I think.

MIL and her hubby gave me a duck (had £2.99 sticker on - only a small one)
Some fresh veg probably around £4 ish
Some crisps £1
Couple of cans of drink (x2 fosters, x1 diet coke and x1 vimto) £3
Which was nice of them so doing quite well so far

Chocolate you are doing so well already. Now. Are you going to calculate how much you save on food and transfer the money somewhere else? That's what I try and do if I make really good savings. £20 wombled = £20 more in your account for debt slaying etc.

Got £66 refund in rail vouchers for a late train in November after much to-ing and fro-ing, confirming dates and times with some poor lady having to work today. Not a bad start to 2016

Excellent Dizzy. Persistence pays doesn't it.

Hi,
Can I join please?

Does it count if you use money off vouchers a supermarket sends you in the post?

Hi Lindor. Of course welcome aboard. Yes it counts. Anything that keeps money in your pocket is a womble.

Hey Bob - definitely doing this, can I have a number? I still have to reconcile everything from the past day or two but will report in shortly with a progress report.

Didn't think of that Bob, that is a very good idea!! Think I will do that - transfer the money into our savings account

It's not mine I'm afraid but I am glad to pass it along its what they call zero sum budgeting I believe. So you set your budget with absolutely no free money. Therefore you know exactly what you have left in x budget if you make a saving. I know some people on other challenges who have an annual clothing budget and therefore if someone gives you clothes you can deduct from that pot and save.

Good morning womblers

Good wombling day so far:

Used a £16 off £100 in W@@trose and stocked up on everything that they had on offer. I don't normally shop there as it is too expensive but they did have quite a few bargains there which are cheaper than the other sms. I also got a free newspaper with my shop so adding £16.90 to my total:D. I also wombled an extra receipt.
