    Hi Bobarella .Can I join?
    I have seen this thread "around",but never really followed it.But this year I wanted somewhere to record my roadkill finds.Reading the thread's intro,I think I would also enjoy keeping track of surveys,and savings.
    Today I found my first roadkill: a shiny £1 coin as my kids were buying their "friday treats" at the local store.
    Survey-wise,I do Pinecone surveys.Today,I earned £3 for one.
    Can't think of anything else wombly,but am going to start keeping track-wonder if there is room on my ticker thinking.gif.
    SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76
    Pinecone £301,Valued Opinions £10.50

    Of course you can. There is a genuine gap between what you could have spent and what you did spend, hence a womble:D

    Just booked our the return leg of our train tickets for our holiday in March. Coming back first class as there are only a few carriages and the train is always busy and noisy. Discount tickets were just released today and bagged two for £18.60 instead of £75.20 saving £56.60.

    Total savings now £106.62
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    25p For Tesc0 Views Survey

    Also 1celand are doing an offer where you get a free wok when you buy three Uncle Ben's products-the cheapest I saw was £1 for one of those little rice and curry lunch pots.

    Although this would have been an amazing womble I decided against taking up this offer but thought I would share the news.

    Gfk daily tv survey - what did you watch last night, just a tick box and if you liked it, same with radio - there is also a 'didn't watch' option. Then you get entered into a draw, tbh I win £1 - £10 most months for a minute's effort. Plus you get points for each day you do it, and can enter prize draws to win £10 e voucher / £100 cash etc. :beer::beer: worth doing.
