whoop finally have some wombles to declare
£9.25 in ys reductions and a 50p coupon. Pretty chuffed I happened to pop into a sm that had reduced double cream to 15p. Picked up 3, 2 to turn into butter and 1 for coffee. I needed butter so technically it's also a 70p saving on a pack as I can now remove from shopping list

Hi folks, hope you've all had a good day


Everyone help yourself to cake :rotfl:That would be great :T:rotfl:
Ye oldie womblies for today:
*£20 2 x brand new jimjams / PJ's *
£5 lunch and dinner
£0.50 bottle of bubbles (just don't ask)
*A friend had a weekend spring closet clearout and has given me a whole load of brand new clothes, most with tags on! (mad!?!).
There's nothing from the rest that I really need, so I've added a modest £150 to my wombling pot. I've decided to recycle some as gifts and try and flog what's left on the Bay.

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

Awww if I'd known you were coming I'd have baked a cake:rotfl:" Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

Certainly one of my best wombles so far this year, along with the discount codes for a new laptop:);) - I've got some cashback due on that purchase too
