I wombled a Costa receipt with £0.30 pence loyalty points on it today, doesn't sound a lot but it soon adds up. I found one worth £1.20 last week. So they have been added to my card. I won't add them to my womble total until I spend them so I don't double count.
Is anyone else having technical problems with the asda price guarantee website? I wombled a £0.46 pence receipt the other day and everytime I try to log in to print off the voucher it says technical problem....Competition wins £14,136.30[\COLOR]0 -

Sorry, I've never wombled a receipt from Asda and only really order online from them, so can't shed any light on this I'm afraid.
YS saving of £1.19 on a Chinese leafy vegetable...not sure what to do with it but it was only 6p...:o Other savings of £2.30 and a record number of eggs today 10 = £1.00) so my total for today is £4.49 :T0 -

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...
A good bag of coffee say AllPress, Monmouth, Hasbean or other third wave artisan roaster will go for around £7.50 for 250g so you're 180g could be claimed at around £6 I'd wager.LuckyPenny wrote: »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
Thank you LP. With my roadkill do you mean? I agree with your method of counting, like I cashed out £2.50 in nectar points today so added that to my total today as spentSaver-upper wrote: »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
You are doing very well already Saver Upper:T" Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

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.
The carpooling is a good one. How does that work for you? I'm now thinking of Peter Kaye and co of course:rotfl::rotfl:Not sure on Bob's rules on live people/animals:rotfl:

I have thought of trying to separate my wombles too but only do so with my roadkill. But it (my roadkill) is counted in my Wombling score.LuckyPenny wrote: »I wombled a Costa receipt with £0.30 pence loyalty points on it today, doesn't sound a lot but it soon adds up.

It does add up and how nice to get a lovely free coffee. I am another that doesn't use Asda just through not having one near by. Sorry." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

Okay thanks anyway on the Asda receipt front I'll give it a try tomorrow.
I'm sure a free coffee tastes better than a paid for one!!Competition wins £14,136.30[\COLOR]0
