My headphones have broken, I asked OH if he had any spares and he told me his recently bought headphones had mysteriously come with a second pair, so he gave them to me and they are blue which is good for me (he hates pretty much any colour that isn't monochrome), so that's £9.50 wombled.Debt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020

£10 cashed in of our £37 nectar points to buy DD a talking toy from Bing. Yes pester power a little bit but I wouldn't have bought it had I had to pay cash.
Last night I was sent home with enough of the food from the evenings event to serve 2 of us. Tickets were £30 each won't claim the full amount." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

One son lugged that round to my work-in-progress garden in jig time, & I rounded up every bit of copper piping - both for tool ferrules & for potential jewellery making. Husband 'adopted' a few lengths of plastic pipe, storing & soaking long things in, for the use of.
We may well go back for another riffle once the chaps have fed & lovely neighbour has tootled off to a football match.
Huge congratulations & admiration on giving blood, f0xh0les & please have another (virtual) packet of biscuits on me!
Amazing! Those sinks are super expensive brand new!" Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

This is definitely second hand but no chips or cracks (yet) so I may just raise it on bricks with a strategic liner until the next refurb...0

Oh my gosh! That's amazing!
I should get one soon!
I miss out on 2p roadkill...I wasn't fast enough.

€0,89 discount on fresh produce (which was unexpected - it was all good, in date produce).
€8 plants from my local government. They have a scheme where every year you can sign up for free plants, they grow them for you to a decent size (15cm/6in pot), and you can collect them in a certain week. I've counted €1 per plant.
We also had 3 days in Amsterdam with work, "all expenses paid", even though I did not spend a single cent
Yoga sessions in the morning, relaxed all day meetings (mainly information exchange between two Departments), nice breaks, lunches, good dinners and dancing in the bar afterwards. I've wombled a small box of chocolate sprinkles and a small hourglass; I could have wombled a pack of treacle waffles (a Dutch delicacy
), but I didn't realise it was hiding in the room. €1. Are you wombling, too, in '22? € 58,96 = £ 52.09Wombling in Restrictive Times (2021) € 2.138,82 = £ 1,813.15Wombabeluba 2020! € 453,22 = £ 403.842019's wi-wa-wombles € 2.244,20 = £ 1,909.46Wombling to wealth 2018 € 972,97 = £ 879.54Still a womble 2017 #25 € 7.116,68 = £ 6,309.50Wombling Free 2016 #2 € 3.484,31 = £ 3,104.590 -
