    I bought 6 X 10 inch Ty Pluffies soft toys on eBay for only £9.98 saving myself £49.96 on the next cheapest price I can find of £9.99 each :T

    I bought 10 sale items from The Body Shop online and also used the 40% code for only £21.30 saving myself £56.19 and I also got free delivery worth £2.49. I also earned 213 Love Your Body points worth £2.13 which I will count when I am using the points and I also earned 93p cashback via Quidco on this order, which I will count when I have received the money. :T

    I got a cheque from Eon for £15.09 for a dual fuel discount on my Electricity account :T

    #13 current total = £546.47

    10p road kill today and a dish of parsnip soup and a roll for lunch. £2.10

    I've got a lot of stuff listed on fleabay which is hobby stuff I'm selling because I haven't got time for it anymore :(

    What's the general feeling on counting fleabay sales as wombles?

    Not wombling much as not spending or going anywhere at the minute except to the school gate and back again. Very unspendy but not great for wombling.

    I don't count ebay sales because it's not a gain for free. You have sold something and made a profit.

    If you buy something like say a Gucci bag for £50 that would be £200 had you bought it in a shop not eBay, I would personally count that as a womble.

    But this challenge is very loose on interpretation and everyone should do what they feel is right.

    Will you flip the toys for a profit? Seems a great bargain.

    Hi Bob, no they are for various great nieces and nephews in my family. I bought some late last year from the same business seller on eBay, but now they are being sold even cheaper.

    Poundland bargains:

    4 sharing packets of Haribo Supermix for £2 saving me £2

    3 Packets of Jammie Dodgers for £1 saving me 50p

    120g box of Maltesers for £1 saving me 50p

    #13 current total £552.48
