    Just checking in, very little spent, no wombles, just cleaning, sorting and tidying.

    You are all doing magnificently.

    Hi All

    A quick check in here (currently have a baby trying to shove garlic bread into my shirt pocket, as you do)

    *8p roadkill
    * 1 NERF dart (we lost one yesterday so even Stephens)
    * 1 copy of Grazia, December's issue, put out to the kerb (£2 saved)
    * 1 free coffee at Costalott = £2.50

    Think that's it

    7p roadkill for me today ��

    Fab:T
    I wombled some free food from school today - my friend is in charge of food tech and sometimes passes things to me that are past their best but still perfectly fine. Today I got a box of 18 eggs (£1.50), 200g cheddar (£1.20) and a big bag of onions (67p). A Total of £3.37 just for having a thoughtful friend..

    I love these kinds of Womble. So many people would bin the lot. So silly. :T

    Just got what I think is a pretty amazing womble.
    I got a Fitbit for my birthday last year, and over the past couple of weeks something has gone wrong with the strap. The Fitbit itself is fine, but the strap looks as though it has a bit of a blister. Anyway - I contacted them as I thought it was still under warranty, and they have sent me a brand new one, but the next model up from the one I had. So a free upgrade, and still a fully functional older Fitbit that I can keep. The Charge 2 is what I've got and it costs £129.99 so I consider that to be productive wombling.

    Wow! You could sell one??
    Cut all the christmas cards up as usual to make gift tags today, managed to make 47 tags for next year. Not sure what that equates to in monetary terms as I haven't bought any christmas gift tags for eons but I'm claiming £2 :D

    Also wombled some of those straight up and down glass jars from work,(the sort which posh pate or pickles come in) which make fabulous candle holders either at home or tarted up as presents. 3 in all so I reckon at £3 each that's another £9

    Managed to knab a couple of really sturdy biscuit tins before they made it to the bin too, short of storage tins for biscuits and bakes at home and I was thinking I was going to have to buy some in the sales so chuffed to bits. Reckon that's another £8 saved :D:D:D

    Total so far £22.75

    Womble on boys and girls :):)

    Brilliant. Great tip on the gift cards.

    Ooh yes, I've done this too. I have a tag-shaped punch that I use. I think I made about 80 tags, all threaded and tied with cotton. Going to claim £1.

    Bizarrely, after my comments on eggs yesterday, I had a full house, but as I sold a dozen, I won't claim twice, so just £2 for eggie sales.

    Still no roadkill, but I'm keepin' 'em peeled...

    Glad the hens are laying again :)
