The communal area at the back of the block was a mess with litter so, since no one else was going to do it, I got out the litter pickers and bin bag and cleared it all up. Found a £5.00 note and a 1p. Think I might start doing it every day.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0

Ooh, lovely! Keep them in your tights (obviously not whilst wearing _pale_) and they last for months. Well done on your litter picking reward too. Well deserved!
£3 from eggie sales
£3 saved on some beautiful floral PJ bottoms that DH will loathe
£15 money off coupon used with Mr A
£89 being claimed for a pair of glasses as they were BOGOF in Tesco and I was going to buy a more robust pair for day to day living. My "indestructible" titanium flexiframes have already been rebent, replaced and had new glass in, so a cheaper plastic pair were in order.
£3.49 for a cream tea that my lovely friend treated me to today.
And I won a bottle of wine at Tiny's preschool tea party raffle today...although I spent a fiver on tickets, so doesn't actually count lol
Today's total is a fantabulous £113.49
Ooh...need to update YTD...

£4.92 savings on YS shopping items
Had some sales on the Bay and used most of that money to buy 3 fantastic clothes bundles saving myself a fortune on suits, shirts, jeans, trousers, and tops. I estimate a saving of at least £165, so I'm claiming that. It also means I still haven't spent any of my clothes budget for the year!
£2 swapped some magazines

Hope everyone is ok and having blessed wombles

I think you could count it! You didn't have to pay for it, so a fabulous freebie
I used an £18 Mr T voucher off my online food shop today which was a welcome reduction.
5 eggs from my hens (50p) - but disappointing considering there are 19 girls! Too busy off exploring the paddock to come back to the henhouse to lay...either that or theres a clutch of eggs in the hedge somewhere
£18.50 total.
Anyone seen Bob?0
