    oooooo I'm tore as to how to record today's wombles! We arranged to meet a friend at the soft play at the wildlife park. Entrance for me and madam (we have membership cards) would be £31 so I could record this, and when we go for a day of it/to the wildlife park then I do. But today it was just the soft play which I would only pay £5.50 max for....

    Hummm I can see why that's tricky! What did you decide in the end?

    I've just spent a week in the UK, and wombled some B00ts receipts with points (I bought stuff, but don't have a B00ts card), which I left for the cleaning staff at the hotel where we were staying. Nothing else wombled, just a lot of money spent.... If last week shows a sudden rise in the economy, that would be us :D
