Hi All,

I'm new to the boards and would love to join the Wombling thread! My office is usually the best place to wangle some free bits and pieces, with free lunches/breakfasts every so often. Will try to keep a more concise record from now on, but in the last few weeks alone, I've managed a free bottle of Processo and 4 x 1 litre cartons of pure orange juice from a leftover work event!

Looking forward to seeing what else I can womble

Welcome to the challenge, FaceHeelTurn!


The office is by far the best place to womble for me. Only today I found a new bouquet of flowers at Reception that they were about to throw out, as the new colleague (it's a welcome gift for new colleagues) did not want to take it home or to his desk.... it's now on my Department's shared desks.


99 loyalty points on wombled receipts
N1vea conditioner free-after-rebate 3,49-0,72 (stamp) = 2,77

Invited out for lunch today, and as my colleagues are regulars at the place we went to, they gave us our drinks for free! So £2.50 saved there!

Thanks for the welcome! Your overall wombling totals from the last couple of years are seriously impressive!

Don't let the totals fool you; a large part of those wombles is generous parents . (For instance, they sold us their old car for half the market value, and I counted the other half as a womble.)
