This may not be the right place to post, but if you have a loyalty card for the West Cornwall Pasty Co (they stamp your card every time you buy a pasty and hot drink until the card is full and you get a free one) act now.
They are finishing the scheme at the end of the month and if you have a card - even partialy completed, they will give you a free pasty and drink before the 30th October.
I had a card with only three stamps and got a free pasty and coffee yesterday - saved £4 for my lunch.Dealing with my debt - one click at a time0 -

CompletelyLost - a few ideas for postage materials:
- Try asking on Freecycle for unwanted bubble wrap or padded envelopes - I got 2 bin bags full off a nice lady near me
- Tesco do some cheap brown paper
- Pound shops do cheap padded envelopes
- Your local post office will give you as many free special delivery envelopes as you want - just turn them inside out. Got this tip from thread here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=22455
Today I sold a CD on play.com giving me £1.89
Thanks for that. I tend to be quite thrifty with packing, reusing it where I can, but have completely ran out due to selling a lot recently! I never knew that about the special delivery envelopes though so will definitely ask for them when I'm in today x
Today I was able to withdraw £20 from mutualpoints so have added that to my total. Also received my £500 cheque from last month so will pay that in later:D:D
I'm looking forward to free listing day too, that should make me a few extra pennies.0 -
Received cheque today for £35 - car tax back due to downsizing car, £2.20 from selling eggs, £2 Argos voucher received from GfK.0
