    Good evening wombles :D

    DH came home with a bottle of wine from a happy supplier today, which was nice, but I'm doing Dry January, so have stashed it in the cupboard. Going to claim £5 as its a nice bottle of Merlot.

    However, Dry January does have it's perks as I was given a discount of £1.41 at the carvery tonight after ordering a soft drink. Oh, and we also used a 15% discount voucher that saved us £6.45 off our food.

    8 eggs from the girls = 80p.

    Today's total is £13.66.

    I wish I had an Iceland near me - that wok offer sounds great Florence!

    Glad the girls are back on it again:T and lovely to have free wine.
    Happy Sunday Morning Womblers :j:j:j

    Reporting in:

    :) 7.00 save on itoons saving (daughter given her pocket money, asks SD to pay for something and she then brings ME the cash back!!)

    :) 45p saving - DD2 got a lift to school from neice as she couldn't carry her "volcano" return journey is 45p cheaper

    :) £100 discount on my wedding dress - over the moon (just with the dress itself but also with the saving too xx)

    Total for yesterday £107.45 at which I'm chuffed.

    Total womblings to date £121.23

    Fab wedding dress bargain there:T

    Nothing to report today and off to Amsterdam for five days tomorrow morning so think wombling opportunities may be limited.

    The breakfast buffet?? If there's one. Freebies in the hotel room? Mini shampoo etc.

    I would say cash back counts. It is gaining free ££ for something you'd have bought anyway.

    Market research is a funny one. I don't mind if you count it, the challenge is very fluid. Although my first though was, you have essentially worked to earn the market research ££ because surveys and things take time. But then there is Orchard which is a huge freebie basically isn't it, and I count those myself as womble. So grey areas there....
