2 wombled coffee beans on 2 abandoned cups on my run - seems to be my running route is a hot bed for people throwing out coffee cups! Neighbours must think I've lost the plot going out for a run and come home with garbage! I have enough for another coffee now and still haven't bought one cup!
£7.50 - went to a sauna & swimming pool at a hotel. My friend alerted me to that fact that she has joined as a member to use the facilities and for £5 i went along with her. I love sauna's and go regularly. The cheapest one round here is £12.50 for an hour. This was much better and only cost £5

Finally used my clubcard vouchers, most of which were wombled. Ended up having two courses for the adults and three courses for the four children plus 6 drinks, the bill came to £29.90 after the £60 clubcard boost voucher (£15 cash value) - you cant use the boost vouchers on drinks, and they came to £15 anyway, so really happy with that.
Will definitely do it again.4/10/25Three Years Mortgage Free Yay!

I've had a good wombling day today, but need to total it all up and add it to my signature...
Bestie arrived this morning with a large Costalot latte for me.
Had to go to Mr T for coffee and milk, but nabbed a bit of decent YS stuff. I'm most proud of cheesecake that was reduced to 48p from £3.50. I probably didn't need it but it will feel very indulgent when I eat it
Not giving up
Working hard to pay off my debt
Time to take back control

Went to Mr M's to look at YS bargains, but there weren't any. So on my way out I noticed the bath towels were reduced down to £5, on closer inspection, they were a pack of 2 bath towels for £5. Reduced down from £18. So I bought 4 packs and one pack of hand towels reduced from £10 for two to £3.
I finally have nice towels (sorry, this makes me ridiculously happy) and it means I can donate my old towels to the animal shelter charity.4/10/25Three Years Mortgage Free Yay!
