Awesome ciara, I think purpleroses is a wicked name anyway amd I'm glad you have been strong and not intimidated by the bullies you were only trying to help :T
I dont really have the internet at the moment so I've been struggling and forgetting lots but I should be online really soon (like a week but hey) so I am ready to join full throttle for october!!

Savingholmes, thats a great bit of bargaining, am really impressed, although don't feel i have the bottle to do it myself, but great news for you.

It's somewhere I go regularly whenever my car needs fixing. We also gave them a positive review on an internet site. All the time you hear them taking 20% off or more as a result of price matching etc... I just asked a question, smiled hopefully at them - could be why oh sends me!:rolleyes:

Hi purpleroses - like the new name.. despite the circumstances.
Thanks Horace et al - been shopping today:eek: but made the most of bodyshop 20% off.. getting ready for Christmas:j

Just back from hols & haven't caught up properly yet, but feeling proud of myself!

Thanks to Martin opened a Nationwide account & have saved at least £30 using that for cash in Corfu compared with exchanging here before we went.

Also, todays shopping trip was to take back bather I bought from M&S in case the cheaper one I ordered didn't arrive in time - it came the day we left so £9.50 saved there & I actually took it back!!:j
Also took back Dh shorts to Debenhams & used £5 off vouchers for new work clothes.. lovely man at pay desk .. I asked do I need to split the purchases to make most of £5 vouchers.. he said yes.. sorted it out for me & in fact gave me £5 too much discount:j

Decided to use returned money to buy slow cooker - was priced at £35 (big one) used £5 off voucher but was only charged £20!!!:j

So A good morning 'shopping' for me!!

See you all in October:rotfl:

I'm impressed by the haggling Savingholmes. I definitely struggle with that.

Given that I'm away with work, not much progress - but at least I've racked up a couple of airmiles (by the time I retire, I might have enough to go somewhere).

Have been to see some friends this weekend and cashed in some hotel points I thought I'd never used, for staying near the airport before a "stupid o'clock" flight tomorrow so one night in 4 star hotel for free - hurrah. Won't count the whole lot (as I'd have stayed somewhere dirt cheap if paying real money, and also wouldn't have used the internet!) but it is a bonus, so I'm going to count £25 of it.

If I'd been more savvy I probably wouldn't have got ripped off by taxi drivers here but that's the problem with not speaking the lingo (they seem to have one rate for Romanians and one for foreigners) - economised by getting on the train on the way back, and then got overcharged by another taxi driver (knew he was doing it but he pretended he couldn't understand me and then I got a bit scared). Hmmm I really need to wise up I think! Probably only a fiver down overall but bit annoyed with myself for being a wuss.

Two other countries next week (don't ask) then I can be back on the moneysaving trail!

Hi all, did a craft fair on Saturday and made £22 which was nice so have added to the total. Only one day to go, so don't anticipate making much more before tomorrow's deadline, but at least I have lots of MS's lined up for October, and a couple of fairs to go to! Onepoll is slowly creeping up but havent counted it until I reach that golden £40!! AND at last reached 10stars on ebay, so can multilist buy it now items at last. Hopefully something will come of that this week. Lots to list. Hoorah!!

Back to work today so catching up on five days worth of threads! Not a bad few days off. Found 51p in the street, sold three things on ebay - profit of £5.67 and £20.45 in tips. Did an extra shift on Saturday night, but won't get paid for this until October.

Purpleroses, please put me down for October x
