Remember you're STILL a Womble - 2017 challenge

Bobarella

Had a good one today. Found two Ercol style chairs that had nothing wrong with them just sitting outside a house that was being renovated. The builders confirmed they were rubbish, so I took them back to my lair That will save me at least £30.

I also found 52p.

I meant to ask if anyone else had wombled Mr S reciepts at the weekend? They were doing triple points as standard. I managed to grab a few high pointers.

I can tell this is going to be great! I'm going to dive on in.

Although the debt is scary, I am quite excited about the sense of achievement in tackling it - and rather than looking for a way to shift a huge amount immediately, gaining huge satisfaction from making lifestyle changes that I am in control of.

Last night we ate a delicious meal, all from food we already had in the kitchen and freezer - not exactly rocket science, but I can't ever remember doing that. We also didn't buy a bottle of wine. I did the maths recently, and I think I could save £3000 a year on wine.:eek:

Anyway, I'll stick to wombling on here. It occurred to me that saving on bus fare by running home is great, but not really wombling. So I'll deduct that £1.60 from yesterday's total. Once I've done a month I'll add it to my signature.

Thanks all for the welcome and the support.

Kumamon - why don't you save the bus fare and join another of the challenges, maybe PAD (payment a day) or the SPC/VSPC (sealed/virtual sealed pot challenge) to keep a record of the growing saving? You could build up an emergency fund by stealth using little amounts that you probably wouldn't miss day to day...ignore me if this doesn't appeal

£2 egg sales to report today.

Good idea, Dizzy Imp - I think I am going to try Wombling, SPC, and Make £5 a day. I'm getting myself a good spreadsheet on the go.

Sugarbaby125 - can I ask you what '#13 current total' refers to?

Thanks

Kumamon welcome to the wonderful world of Wombling.

#13 current total = is my year to date total and 13 is my number on the leader board on the first page of this thread. I try to update my total each day. We started on the 1st January 2017. There are so many different ways to be MSE when we have to spend money, but I find that when I am recording the ways in which I get 'free' money, 'free' goods or make a really good saving make me feel immense satisfaction.
