Also 1celand are doing an offer where you get a free wok when you buy three Uncle Ben's products-the cheapest I saw was £1 for one of those little rice and curry lunch pots.
Although this would have been an amazing womble I decided against taking up this offer but thought I would share the news.
Thanks for sharing Florence.Wombles so far this week, excluding the supermarket points as they will be redeemed later,

What has he enjoyed the best so far?Gfk daily tv survey - what did you watch last night, just a tick box and if you liked it, same with radio - there is also a 'didn't watch' option. Then you get entered into a draw, tbh I win £1 - £10 most months for a minute's effort. Plus you get points for each day you do it, and can enter prize draws to win £10 e voucher / £100 cash etc. :beer::beer: worth doing.
That's interesting. A few years back we all used to do a nectar points one where you had to watch ads to get next points but they cancelled it. Sounds a similar easy to do daily activity." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

Good evening wombles

DH came home with a bottle of wine from a happy supplier today, which was nice, but I'm doing Dry January, so have stashed it in the cupboard. Going to claim £5 as its a nice bottle of Merlot.
However, Dry January does have it's perks as I was given a discount of £1.41 at the carvery tonight after ordering a soft drink. Oh, and we also used a 15% discount voucher that saved us £6.45 off our food.
8 eggs from the girls = 80p.
Today's total is £13.66.
I wish I had an Iceland near me - that wok offer sounds great Florence!0 -
