Remember you're STILL a Womble - 2017 challenge

wrestled through some woodland during a run to retrieve a Mccyd cup to find it had a bean - that is dedication to the cause I think! Now have 1 full card and another with 4 beans on and I haven't paid for 1 cup of coffee

Just back from Amsterdam. Whilst we were there got the following;
Room upgraded because the receptionist recognised me from staying before.
Free buffet breakfasts and toiletries.
Met our friends in their hotel bar and the barman gave us so many nibbles with our drinks (cheese.peanuts, pate and steak tartare) that we were too full to eat dinner.
Weren't charged for a beer and a coffee at the airport today but when I pointed the mistake out to them they said we could have it from free for being honest.
No idea how much all that is in monetary terms so won't add it to my total. just thought I'd share it with you.
Back to serious wombling tomorrow.

that sounds rather impressive, and probably made the trip seem that much better! bargains always seem to taste better!

This week I have had some successful YS shopping at the super market meaning my Grand total for wombles this year is at £58.08.

Evening! Finally got round to registering DH's coffee machine this week and as a thank you (and I suspect to tempt me into making an order) I've been sent three 60g samples of artisan coffee beans. I don't drink coffee, although I love the smell, but DH is made up with this womble. I'm going to claim £2, although I think hand-roasted over acorn ash, all singing, blessed by dancing faeries, chocolate and chestnut smudged, smooth as silk, pleasure-infused beans might be a bit more expensive.

Bizarrely and completely coincidentally, DH also went to see one of his customers today who is a coffee judge and master blender and came away with some roasted beans. Sadly, he paid for them, but I'll let him off, just this once...

Your so lucky Bob.
I cashed out £1.96 today from my Quidco cashback account
I also found an Asda receipt, did a price guarantee check and its work at £0.47p voucher. I'll add this to my total when I spend it otherwise I might end up double counting!


Total so far £21.23

Hi,everyone!Wow,there are some very serious wombles around here.Who needs a job?:eek:
I have been catching up on the thread,and was reading the discussion about surveys being wombleable (make up a word-me?Never!!!) or not.Initially I was going to add surveys to my tally,but in the light of that discussion,I agree that you do spend time doing surveys,so I am not going to count them.My total earnt in surveys over a couple of years is already in my ticker,and in my email inbox,they are divided into different folders so I can see how many surveys I do a year,etc.
So,taking off the Pinecone survey I had initially counted, that brings back my total for the year,back to £1.
Now needing to be added to that:
3rd Jan:£5 Halifax reward
9th Jan:5p roadkill
14th:£30 goodwill payment from M+S.
I have my gas/electricity through them,and have always been happy with them (been about 3 years).Every now and again,when I have got into a large amount of credit,I phone them up and ask for a refund of the credit.
In July last year I did this.They refunded me about £220,and lowered my monthly tariff by a considerable amount.So imagine my surprise when my bill last week said that I had now underpaid by nearly £300 :eek:.So I phoned up,not complaining,but just saying that they had only refunded me in July,and reduced my direct debit.Now I wanted to pay the debt.I was speaking to an absolutely lovely guy,who said he would like to raise a complaint to M+S on my behalf,and refund £30 to my account as an apology.He also then proceeded to take up-to-the-second meter readings from me,and work out a DD amount that will cover evenly over the year.
Total for January:£36.05

Good Morning All, had a few wombles over the past few days: £20 Carpool money, 20p roadkill, A random bag consisting of the following: bottle of cleaning fluid, fly spray (?) and bottle of soda water plus a desk lamp from my sister - I'll claim a nominal 50p for each item so £2.00 there.

She did also drop her youngest DD off for me to look after for the next 6 months as she's swanning off to Cyprus for the next 3 years, but don't think I'll claim for that lol !

have a great day everyone.
