    whoop finally have some wombles to declare :) £9.25 in ys reductions and a 50p coupon. Pretty chuffed I happened to pop into a sm that had reduced double cream to 15p. Picked up 3, 2 to turn into butter and 1 for coffee. I needed butter so technically it's also a 70p saving on a pack as I can now remove from shopping list :)

    Bob I kept it at £31 :) if we go tomorrow I'll just record softplay prices...

    Ye oldie womblies for today:

    *£20 2 x brand new jimjams / PJ's *
    £5 lunch and dinner
    £0.50 bottle of bubbles (just don't ask)

    *A friend had a weekend spring closet clearout and has given me a whole load of brand new clothes, most with tags on! (mad!?!).
    There's nothing from the rest that I really need, so I've added a modest £150 to my wombling pot. I've decided to recycle some as gifts and try and flog what's left on the Bay.

    I also managed a 5th No Spend Day

    I've just spent a week in the UK, and wombled some B00ts receipts with points (I bought stuff, but don't have a B00ts card), which I left for the cleaning staff at the hotel where we were staying. Nothing else wombled, just a lot of money spent.... If last week shows a sudden rise in the economy, that would be us :D

    Awww if I'd known you were coming I'd have baked a cake:rotfl:

    Certainly one of my best wombles so far this year, along with the discount codes for a new laptop:);) - I've got some cashback due on that purchase too :D

  • £4.95 - put in an order for raspberry canes and then found a 20% off code. Called them and asked them to honour but it had expired so they are refunding postage :)
