    How long!!!!!!!!I only collect the freebie points and since July had two £20 cheques.

    You are doing the free daily points of 5 everday for using the search engine and another 9 for a kelkoo search and another 45 points for doing 5 price runner searches.

    Hope that helps get your next cheque a little quicker.

  • £149.97 on phone
    £42.00 on Clothes

    But took phone back and one of the jumpers as I wasn't happy with the phone nor jumper - so in all spent £20 on a nice jumper/fleece for xmas parties ;)

    Edit: Tell a lie - I forgot to add the nick nacks for the stone effect MDF fire place surround I got from the women a few doors away from me (£20 - brand new! :snow_grin ) to go with my Electric flame effect fire, so spent £2.49 on little stick balls and £2.99 on a nice little dish to go with them - A nice little center feature in a otherwise plain dull boring permission home :)

    A nice feeling that money saved over the last few weeks helped to pay for all this to make my home feel like a home after 18 months trying to buy everything I need since I moved in.

    We have booked and paid for our holiday to NZ today so quite a lot..plus a few Christmas presents and some goodies for Christmas Day that won't go off, now hidden in the garage so certain people don't eat them in advance ( that includes me LOL)

    I can't claim a low spend Saturday but it's all in the budget :xmassmile

    Spent £30.00 in Tescos - this included a box of wine for Xmas Day. Also bought 10 tins of Heinz Chicken & Mushroom Chowder @ 10p per tin from Farmfoods. Only drawback is that the sell-by date is 12/05. Is it ok to use tinned food after the sell-by date, say January 2006? Or has anyone opened tinned soup and frozen it?

    PS the soup was 79p per tin in Tescos.

    If its "BB" then the quality will start to go - but it should be okay give or take 4 weeks - but "USE BY" do not eat after the use by eat unless you want a nice session on the loo ;)

    Nothing - I'm still in my PJs from last night (treated myself to a really lazy day). DH bought 4 pints of milk earlier, but that's it for us.

    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    On the home page under the words Mutual shop is a search box. Search 5 times and that is 5 points.

    Go to the free rewards tab at the top of webpage and there both Kelkoo and price runner are there as well as a few other freebie points.

    Hope that helps.
