    £4 savings on ys items
    50p for holiday token

    yesterday:

    £12.29 ys items

    £35 saving on childcare as mil had lo for the day

    2 wombled coffee beans on 2 abandoned cups on my run - seems to be my running route is a hot bed for people throwing out coffee cups! Neighbours must think I've lost the plot going out for a run and come home with garbage! I have enough for another coffee now and still haven't bought one cup!

    £7.50 - went to a sauna & swimming pool at a hotel. My friend alerted me to that fact that she has joined as a member to use the facilities and for £5 i went along with her. I love sauna's and go regularly. The cheapest one round here is £12.50 for an hour. This was much better and only cost £5 :)

    Finally used my clubcard vouchers, most of which were wombled. Ended up having two courses for the adults and three courses for the four children plus 6 drinks, the bill came to £29.90 after the £60 clubcard boost voucher (£15 cash value) - you cant use the boost vouchers on drinks, and they came to £15 anyway, so really happy with that.

    Will definitely do it again.

    Wow, seems like ages since I last posted here! :o

    Not been out and about to get many good wombles. Sold lots of eggs this week = £6, 9p roadkill, £1 washkill and DH was given a new smart watch which costs £80 to buy, so he was very pleased undeed!

    £87.09 total :D
  • I've had a good wombling day today, but need to total it all up and add it to my signature...
    Bestie arrived this morning with a large Costalot latte for me.
    Had to go to Mr T for coffee and milk, but nabbed a bit of decent YS stuff. I'm most proud of cheesecake that was reduced to 48p from £3.50. I probably didn't need it but it will feel very indulgent when I eat it :D

    Went to Mr M's to look at YS bargains, but there weren't any. So on my way out I noticed the bath towels were reduced down to £5, on closer inspection, they were a pack of 2 bath towels for £5. Reduced down from £18. So I bought 4 packs and one pack of hand towels reduced from £10 for two to £3.

    I finally have nice towels (sorry, this makes me ridiculously happy) and it means I can donate my old towels to the animal shelter charity.
