    no "real" money to add for me but I have a mystery shop tonight.....it doesn't pay a fee but covers food to the value of £35.......so well worth doing even though I won't get any money in the bank for it!

    I am only adding in money to my totals once they have been received in the bank so probably not much to add until mystery shopping pays up on 25th.

    Just £8 to add today from a couple of cheapo MS (plus breakfast and afternoon coffee paid for) and my word of advice for people working in bars ...

    Don't short change people by a penny because you have no copper change, they might just be a mystery shopper. And if you are going to do that, make sure your fellow member of staff doesn't do exactly the same thing when the mystery shopper goes back to the bar for something else.

    Guess where isn't getting a good review.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    it's not the 2p that bothers me, it's the fact that they didn't even comment on it or apologise for it.

    Well, i've made £26 from mystery shopping today, not much but better than nothing. Hoping to do some matched betting tomorrow which will hopefully see some positive effects on my challenge totals instead!
