  • Count me in again please. Fell of the wagon at back end of last year :o but back on it now. :)
  • My wombling year got off to a good start today - as it's payday then this is where I'm starting to count from. Today I used a £5 voucher Icyland gave to me as a Christmas present, and also an 8p off per litre of fuel, saving me £2.72 when I filled the tank up.
    Bob - do you want to swap places with me please? I feel as though you should be number 1 in your own challenge. :o

    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    PM02 yes thank you, I've signed you up. Wombling can be many things to many people. To me it is finding things of value to you and using them. It is thinking of everything in our daily world as having a value and being determined to squeeze the last drop out of things to collect that value. It is YS shopping as a first choice not as an after thought. It is finding coins on the street and using them to keep your own costs down. It is BOGOFFs, couponing, car pooling. Any time you find yourself with more money for less you have done a Womble.
