    No wombles yesterday but I found a purse with a bank, card, driving licence and student ID in it. Hope they manage to trace the owner, I'd hate to loose all that.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
  • I did my first wombling! Found a voucher left in a trolley at the supermarket, £1.50 off the brand of TP I normally buy. That counts, right?

    Hello Ladies,


    Could I kindly ask you to sponsor me for Race for Life 2017


    This will be my 6th year. My eldest sister lost her battle with stomach cancer some years ago and 2 of my brothers are currently cancer survivors. I decided to do Race for Life for the 1st time when I heard that my 2 elder brothers had cancer. I just wanted to do my own small bit to help Cancer Research UK with their invaluable work, apart from my monthly donation.

    I would suggest a donation of £1 is adequate but of course there is no upper limit should you feel inclined to donate more

  • argh just have to record my wombles before I forget them!

    extra £1.50 of sains rewards for spending over £15, used a triple points voucher as well. Also I thought the £1.50 of points was actually a £1.50 off coupon so I called the assistant over but I had already put it in the slot. He deducted £1.50 off the total but when I got outside I realised this was my mistake! :o So £1.50 to claim

    got given a composting darlik by an allotment neighbour £20

    just got 50p off a loaf of bread and £2.02 off of a block of cheese. will need to grate and freeze.

    Been given a gas bbq from a friend's parentals. Not sure what it is like yet so can't put a price on it. But I suspect it's good as their stuff always is!

    Went a womblin' last night, found masses of YS bread original price £1.40, all reduced down to ....25p. Bought 8, 2 in bread bin, 6 in freezer, will do lunchboxes all week and tonight's supper is (something) on toast. Also a lot of sticky bbq sauces that have been sat on the reduced shelf for £1 (too much money for me) but last night were reduced down to 17p. BBQ cauliflower wings feature in my future.

    All the potted herbs were down to 15p as well so I am looking at a dill, three basil, and a parsley every time I am at the kitchen sink. Herbs are always stupid prices. Will plant them out when the frost risk is over.

    I got 5 books from a favourite author in the charity shop this morning. They are usually around £6 new ( I no longer buy new books), £3 off the bay of E , but 99p from the charity shop.

    Found To Kill a Mockingbird while filling up the all the shelves I have been putting up, realised I had never got round to reading it, half way through, loving it.

    Wombling is paying off this month.
