    Mr T's Cl0bcard vouchers!! £8. And considering I barely spend £20 a week in there, and most of it is YS'd I must have been wombing more receipts than I remembered.
    Also got 3 x scan this coupon and we will add £1 to your cl0bcard points for next time coupons. So will use them asap.

    Wow £20 roadkill that doesn't happen very often!

    Forgot to add: I urgently needed a new top for work trip. Got one on New Look £14.99 reduced to £5.60 that's a £9.39 saving.
    It was an excellent find even if I do say so myself!

    I know! Considering I found £15 last week too it felt very surreal.

    It says on the packet 2 years of light and as we only bought the poxy things on the weekend in a 3 pack and 1 was only taking one back, they seemed to think it was not unreasonable.

    Oh yes sorry, I wasn't implying you didn't deserve a refund, only that if a bulb blows, it's hard to prove where the fault lies. Glad for you anyway. :)
    Managed to keep away from the shops again today and made a weird concoction for supper today using up stores, so NSD number 2/15. Said weird concoction has one portion left for my packed lunch so I'm going to aim for another NSD tomorrow.

    The only womble I had were a small bag of spices and flavourings my friend gave me, which I'll put a low estimate of £3. Amongst the goodies I was given were a couple of jars of shrimp flavoured fried garlic. My husband's allergic so they will be given to his colleagues tomorrow.

    Total womble: £192

    Hope you enjoy your concoction TOG :)

    The carpooling is a good one. How does that work for you? I'm now thinking of Peter Kaye and co of course:rotfl::rotfl:

    It's funny because when it was just two of us we used to say we could do a show from a webcam in the car because we just used to laugh the whole way there and have the bizarrest of conversations and then Peter Kay's car share came out. I loved it.
