    Any ideas/advice on cheap favours and bridesmaids presents?

    Cheap(est) favour would probably be a snapshot of the 2 of you (taken in the morning - can be developed/printed during the day/handed out at the end of the evening) with a text underneath 'thank you for joining us on this special day [date], [names]". Maybe your photographer is willing to do this?

    Maybe you can invite the bridesmaids for (homemade) lunch at your place a few weeks after the wedding, and give them a picture of the wedding party or an individual professional picture in their bridesmaid's outfit, that was taken on the day?

    Went to Toby Carvery for a treat paid with £20 voucher from my FIL and my daughters meal for £1 using app voucher. Just marking down as £20 as there was a difference of £1.73. Best meal in ages!! Always tastes better when you don't have to pay.

    So I've just had a fab womble-tastic MSE shopping trip.
    Free coffee from Greggs £2.10
    Boots points spend £2.25
    Morrisons loyalty voucher £5 spent and £1 off pizza voucher
    I did a market research and got £5 worth of shopping (puls payment for doing it which I won't claim as a womble)
    So pleased that I refilled my cartridge today, got dove shampoo for 95p, reduced price coffee and crisps and cheap wrapping paper - won't count these as wombles unless Bob says otherwise - I think it's just savvy shopping rather than a womble.
    £15.35 womble I'm putting down for today.

    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Hi All

    Had a great and very apt find with all this rain. A set of two brand new diving fins, masks and snorkels. They both had all the tags still on! The price tag said £20 each.

    Found 11p roadkill as well.

    Hiya
    If you saved money then I'd say that's a Womble, if it was marked down from original price?
