    For those wanting free puddings, go here. You need to have a FB account and don't try to print the 30p/50p off vouchers, try again till you get the free tub.

    Free advent calendar from Lidl.

    Free tea/coffee from Waitflower

    If you are wanting to join consumer pulse, you can sign up through this link, it is not a referral and I do not gain anything. HTH.

    Glad to be of help :-)

    Hope others reading my diary will join up too. You get around £12 in vouchers every month, if you can enter 20 items per month. It used to be 500 points per item, but now it is only 250 points per item.
    Well, every little helps.

    First Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Thanks US - just signed up for CP it seems quite straightforward, the points seem to add up really quickly - not sure if that is just because I've bought a lot lately with it being Christmas :o

    Which rewards do you usually redeem for? I think I will probably go for Argos or Next (in the absence of my beloved Amazon!!)

    Me too US - thank you :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I go for B&Q, then if I use it with another promotion, like 20% off, no need to part with cash.
