    Work breakfast € 1
    A chair massage from work € 10
    Four apples from Reception € 0,80
    Large box of muesli € 5

    Add to that:
    1 orange and 1 kiwi from Reception € 0,40
    another box of muesli (together with the other one it makes 2 kilos!) € 5

    Then on Sunday we had a sister church visiting ours, we had a nice service, spaghetti meal for lunch and a guided tour of Mechelen. When we came back to the church for a cup of coffee and our things, the leftovers from the meal were handed out:

    2 boxes of Bolognese sauce € 2
    3 chocolate mousse desserts € 1,50
    1 whole bakery apple pie € 10 (I'm keeping it low - proper pies and cakes from a bakery are awfully expensive here)
    1 kalanchoe plant € 0,50
    1 box of grated cheese € 0,50
    It's all in the freezer now; the apple pie will do nicely for dd2's birthday on Saturday. The chocolate mousses we'll have for dessert tonight :)

    opps haven't been keeping up with this thread! Have lost count a bit of wombling as have had a lot going on. My mil looked after lo twice so that is £70 (I think I might have posted about one...)

    I got £3.04 from ys french sticks, 2 packs at 29p each and & 2 packs of 4 muffins they were down to 19p from £1 :)

    yesterday I used the last £4 on a gift card I had getting line for the garden and more seeds and picked up a rosemary plant in need of a good watering for 50p £2 off :)

    Today friends came round for roast and I asked her to bring some fresh coffee (as I'd just run out) so we could have some after dinner and she gave me a pack £2 and she brought a bottle of wine that we only had a couple of glasses out of so I'm left with 1/2 a bottle - say £3?

    Loads of great Wombles!
