    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning Wombles

    A big one for me, I have managed to find a free, 4 half day workshop over the next half term for my son. It sounds amazing. Its in the creative field. Not that I like to pack him off, I dont, but if I let him stay at home he just wants to go on the computer all the time. So its for his own good too.

    I estimate this will save us around £30 a day, in activity fees! And my shopping bill :)

    Everyone is doing so well!

    Bob that is such a great find for your son. He will be able to be active for 4 days of the half term. :D

    I too have real trouble getting my soon to be 17 year old son to get off his laptop ;)

    6 boxes of Bassetts Adult multivitamins at Boots on 3 for 2 offer saved me £10.58

    I bought No7 Quick Thinking Wipes and used my No7 £5 skincare voucher

    2 bottles of water bought for me by my friend Alston last night at Karaoke £2

    I had to make a complaint to Groupon because the Mega box of Ariel Professional Colour I bought was damaged. They gave me £13 Groupon credit :T

    I bought 2 Groupon meal deals for Rodizio Rico 02 I saved £25.40 and then got a 5% discount on the 1st deal of £1 and a 10% discount on the 2nd deal £1.99 :T

    #13 current total = £4250.23

    My mum gave me an envelope in tonight with £1k in for the wedding. Should I count that or are wedding presents not really allowed (not sure if it is in the true nature of wombling myself) but really pleased regardless.

    Miss Empty Piggy,

    Congratulations on your new job :j:beer::D:exclamati:staradmin

    Also on the generosity of your Mother. I definitely think you should count that money.

    Thanks Sugarbaby :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I spent some of it last night - £50 - DOH and I had spent a hour or so trying to find a tall fridge as ours is tiny. Went online saw them for between £500 to €1500 depending on what we wanted. He wanted to buy one but I was uncomfortable spending all that on a fridge. I had a quick search on gumtree, put in the postcode and 1 advert posted 9 hours previously resulted in a gorgeous new tall fridge now standing in my kitchen. I'm so pleased I didn't spend that money I wasalmost going to. I count that as a definite saving of £450. Feeling very happy.

    Have a great day everyone. It's raining here but it's Friday - can't complain at that xxxx
