Oh my goodness - feel like I've been away so long. Read back from page 37 to see how everyone is doing - fantastic wombles going on guys! I am very impressed.

Have been so busy with the house renovations, wedding planning and just general work and family life but am back to report the following wombles for this month so far:

We left our old chest freezer at the old house thinking we'd have nowhere to store it as the new house had no outside electricity. However, we've had the house rewired and now do. The owners left a small half decent freezer and so I cleaned it up. It was in a outhouse which had had birds in the rafters so I patched up the ceiling, seriously cleaned out and painted the walls and floor. We bought an off-cut of Lino for £5 and painted one panel with some blackboard paint. It looked amazing. My mum gave us a spare freezer (same size) that we put on top and a shelving unit which fits in beautifully down the side. Now have a fully functioning freezer room/larder which is fab. I'm so happy with it. Will claim a nominal £20 for the freezer and shelves.

So £20.00 to start.

Meal bought for 5 of us at my sister's birthday meal = £50
free lunch at work - £3.60
Free BBQ also from mum with briquettes etc = £15
Meals bought/cooked for us at ILs for 2 days: 12@£5 each = £60

We bought a meal back for all 9 of us on the last day - half way home MIL text to say she had put the money back into our bank account bless them. £100

Quick dash home for best friend's birthday meal - 3 course meal for 4 of us paid for (which again was unexpected) £80.

I can assure everyone no of us particularly need feeding but it was really lovely to be treated. It's good to be back - I need to get my head back into wombling.

Have a great day everyone.

wow sounds like a very blessed month miss empty piggy!

sistercas yay to 66 cream eggs :T this would not be a blessing in my house as I would set about eating them all in the shortest time possible

yesterday I was given 3 gooseberry bushes £34.99 if I bought them :T

used membership card and saved £20.40 on entrance to the wildlife park - this membership pays for itself in 3 visits and we go many more times a year than that!

£3.20 on buying oat milk on offer :money:

Well done on the food wombling Miss EP!

I have £2 egg sales (quiet, as it's the Easter break and I've not been out much) and another 14 collected for home use = £1.40.

I'm sticking with the real deal as Creme eggs make me feel icky...they're too big, too sweet and too much. They are on a par with the dreaded chocolate orange. The smell of one of those turns my stomach._pale_

The skids usually buy an orange chocolate egg for DH at Easter, so I'm not tempted to snorf it.

Now mint chocolate is a different matter....:rotfl:
