What a lovely tale Bala! I might have to try and become a coupon fairy! 

I’ve popped various things by my gate for people to take @BooJewels. 

We’ve also got a Facebook page in my town called the Reuse Project where people post stuff for free, It’s really well admined, reselling is monitored and it’s not on a first come first served basis either. When people are having a clear out and leaving in their gardens etc they often post their pics and location so people can ‘Purposely Womble’.

If there is such a thing as karma you are benefitting from it Bala 

Apart from the odd 5p nothing wombled lately but actually I am ok with that. After all I have enough to do decluttering. DH is complaining that the back of the house is looking like Steptoe's yard as it is. Saying that DH wombled some wood from the Swedish store's pile that they leave outside for people to take. Its nic thin pieces that are susually used for bed. Going to make something for DB's empty yard  from it.

Hello Womblers

Was out walking past a house that had loads of containers on offer. Free ! Some were like the heavy duty ones you see in supermarkets and some other strong blue plastic boxes with lids.  Got a lift and went back.  Was midly surprised to still find them all there but I only took the lidded ones.  Perfect for the garage bits and pieces/tools.  Am always thrilled with my finds.

Managed to give a young lady a £1.50 off a £15.00 spend coupon today.  We have enough food.  She was pleased.

hope you are all well and wombling........

£19.00 is amazing

I found 15p the other day.  10p in the morning, 5p in the evening.  It seems that people are using cash again.

good wishes to all

My sofa !

(for practical purposes)

But the 5 pounds I found a few hours after being given a money plant was a huge warm hug in the solar plexus of hope.  I know what I mean.  

Happy Christmas to one and all..................
