    My headphones have broken, I asked OH if he had any spares and he told me his recently bought headphones had mysteriously come with a second pair, so he gave them to me and they are blue which is good for me (he hates pretty much any colour that isn't monochrome), so that's £9.50 wombled.

    £10 cashed in of our £37 nectar points to buy DD a talking toy from Bing. Yes pester power a little bit but I wouldn't have bought it had I had to pay cash.

    Last night I was sent home with enough of the food from the evenings event to serve 2 of us. Tickets were £30 each won't claim the full amount.

    Wombled a free pint of cordial, three fruit shorties, a cup of tea and a plaster:rotfl:

    Just gave blood!

    Well done. I used to be a regular but since having the children have got out of habit. OH still does when he can. Good prompt to consider it again.

    Not sure if it counts, not least as I knocked on the door & asked, but my neighbour gave me a free pass at Anything in his skip & recommended a no longer needed Belfast sink to me (so long as I didn't ask him to carry it!) One son lugged that round to my work-in-progress garden in jig time, & I rounded up every bit of copper piping - both for tool ferrules & for potential jewellery making. Husband 'adopted' a few lengths of plastic pipe, storing & soaking long things in, for the use of.

    We may well go back for another riffle once the chaps have fed & lovely neighbour has tootled off to a football match.

    Huge congratulations & admiration on giving blood, f0xh0les & please have another (virtual) packet of biscuits on me!

    Amazing! Those sinks are super expensive brand new!

    This is definitely second hand but no chips or cracks (yet) so I may just raise it on bricks with a strategic liner until the next refurb...

    Wow Miss Empty Piggy what a great buy through Gumtree for the tall fridge you bought

    This week's Online Grocery Shopping Savings through price reductions and special offers £20.48 :)

    Body Shop Order:

    I did a shop for £25 of goods and used my £5 Love Your Body voucher to reduce my bill to £20. I got free delivery worth £2.49 and I also got a free gift worth £20 (I also got double points on this order which meant I will get 400 points worth £4, but I will count these points when I am spending them) :T

    I got a tax refund of £800.18 yesterday :j :T

    #13 current total = £5098.38

    Oh my gosh! That's amazing! :) I should get one soon!

    €0,89 discount on fresh produce (which was unexpected - it was all good, in date produce).


    €8 plants from my local government. They have a scheme where every year you can sign up for free plants, they grow them for you to a decent size (15cm/6in pot), and you can collect them in a certain week. I've counted €1 per plant.


    We also had 3 days in Amsterdam with work, "all expenses paid", even though I did not spend a single cent :) Yoga sessions in the morning, relaxed all day meetings (mainly information exchange between two Departments), nice breaks, lunches, good dinners and dancing in the bar afterwards. I've wombled a small box of chocolate sprinkles and a small hourglass; I could have wombled a pack of treacle waffles (a Dutch delicacy :)), but I didn't realise it was hiding in the room. €1.
    Are you wombling, too, in '22? € 58,96 = £ 52.09Wombling in Restrictive Times (2021) € 2.138,82 = £ 1,813.15Wombabeluba 2020! € 453,22 = £ 403.842019's wi-wa-wombles € 2.244,20 = £ 1,909.46Wombling to wealth 2018 € 972,97 = £ 879.54Still a womble 2017 #25 € 7.116,68 = £ 6,309.50Wombling Free 2016 #2 € 3.484,31 = £ 3,104.59
