    I've never done this type of challenge before but would love to take part if I am still able? Looking forward to hearing all about your wombling ways!

    Evenin' wombles :)

    Clearing out cupboards at work resulted in a womble of 2 earthenware pie dishes, a glass jug, 3 boxes of cup-a-soup, some glass tealight holders and a couple of tupperware boxes. Not sure about the monetary value of all this but I think £5 should cover it.

    Also one of my colleagues bought in last months copy of Prima and good housekeeping magazines (she subscribes and so brings in last months copy for me) so at £3.20 and £4.30 I make that another £7.50 that somebody else has spent so I don't have to :D

    Oh and 1p roadkill :)

    Todays total then is £12.51

    Been very quiet for me lately, with just some Receipt Hog points really. Been entering the comp on CheckoutSmart, but they seem to have stopped the penny per receipt thing, which is a shame - still good while it lasted.

    Got a fair few coupons to use out of the Tesco magazine, so worth looking out for one. I also have a few till spits to use too, so a few savings coming my way there :)
