    Really annoyed noone offered my husband Any freebies for his birthday despite heavy hinting on my part. Well, bar his dad who bought us all lunch and an ice cream each :) Grrrr. Bad form Bournemouth!

    I wombed a dinner from a friend last night if that counts? ;) I went round for a catch up after work and he said ' do you want chilli'? i'd never turn down free food!

    Saved me going to the shop and paying for food and cooking :D:D:D

    Boo to Bournemouth Persephone :(

    My wombles yesterday included a £1 coin roadkill, spotted by my eagle-eyed Small, three eggs from hens = 30p, £6.25 price match and promotional discounts on my online shop and £5 lunch bought for me by my lovely friend.

    £12.55 altogether :)

    Bob, my running annual total up to the end of March is an amazing £3518.94. And nope, it's not an April Fool's joke!

    Wow Diz that is just amazing. Imagine if you could just multiply that by 4 for the remaining quarters of the year. I know your council tax rebate has a massive part to it but still!!

    Muhren well done and thanks for reporting in.

    PM have a lovely break. Annoying to drop hints that no one listens to.

    Yes of course why not. Either work out what you saved by not shopping or put a ball park cost on his meal.

    Hello fellow wombles from the Philippines. It's scorching here - 30 C and 58% humidity and it's only 9am. Can't imagine what it would be like at high noon.

    Spotted a shiny new 25centavos in Manila International Airport yesterday - not much value to the pound (£0.0034) but it's nice to know the wombling lives on even in far flung places.
