Bathgate - what paper is that voucher in please?

Hi - it's in the Sunday Mail. May be in the equivalent down south? (which I think is the Mirror)

Evening all,

Back from a wedding up North (stayed overnight) so just having a lazy evening. Lovely mum had popped round yesterday/ today and did a few bits of housework for us (she can’t help herself!).;)

My dfw things for today;

• Took home two sachets of unused ketchup from cooked breakfast as it would be binned anyway.
• Charged toothbrush/mobiles for ½ hour whilst we were at breakfast
• Ate some bananas that were starting to go brown on the drive back
• Will do mutual point e-mail click throughs shortly
• Mum left us 2 bottles of water, onion and lemon for free
• Tesco – got 2 points for bag reuse although should have been 4
• Tesco – used 25p off any Ecover product for a discontinued Ecover cleaner at 49 or 59p
• Tesco used 15p when you spend over £1 on cheese, 30 extra points for being a food member and another extra points coupon for buying something else
• Tesco - Got receipt with points added at customer services
• Tesco -Found a receipt with 4 or 5 points which I will get added next time
• Asked member of staff to price reduced cans of Tesco diet cola as there was no price sticker. He said he marked it down to ½ price for me £1.18
• Got 2 Tesco till spits with our shopping
• Ripped out money off coupons from my magazines and put into purse
• Used £3+ coupons off when buying a few magazines, papers, fizzy juice in Asda
• Put away cans of Tesco diet cola (to take when we go out rather than drinking at home)
• Collected my free energy light bulb in Poundland (D Star paper)
• Will cut out coupon for free microwave sausages from Asda later (D Mirror paper from memory)
• Brought a duplicate magazine so I will list on ebay tonight and hope I get something back for it
• Asda – obviously having another weekend clearout, got employee to put stickers on some colourful clips for me 70p (originally 2 pds), 1 x 2pk tea towels 50p (down from 1 pd something) and 1 20 clear A4 display folder for 25p (down from 50p
• Checked out Asda’s reduced dry iems section – all still very expensive and barely reduced
• Boots – used points, DH will give me money equivalent back
• Got more bids on my Ebay items
• Did washing at 30 deg and hung indoors
• Took rubbish (banana peels, leaflets) from inside car to put in our house recycle bins instead of putting it in a random bin which won’t be recycled.
• Left my sister my bus pass as I am working from home tomorrow.

That’s all I can think of.

Great list Sans, as ever you have found all your coupons and tesco points!! Really must start getting into them as you always make it sound so great!

Ktjazz, if you are wanting to make changes you could always get down to the library and pick up a self help book, there are some good one out there that give you great ideas.

Here is a website full of productive ideas, now you will all know my secrets as to how i am so productive:eek::rotfl:

thank you as always fay and andan

I can access a library of self help books from my mums book shelf. I dip into them from time to time but I am beginning to think I am always looking in the wrong places.

I have too much to change to change it all in one go. I just don't know which thing to start with. I have a list....

I am going to check out those websites though, hopefully give me some inspiration.

Thanks everyone. I need you guys.

Listed 17 items on ebay

Went to Boots and bought the Elizabeth Arden eyeshadow set (for my Mum's Christmas present), a no7 nail colour (for my Mum's Christmas present) and some cold and flu remedy for DH. Used £5 off no7 voucher (to get the nail colour for £1.50) and my Prima magazine voucher to get the eyeshadow free. Total was then £6.49. Used £3 Luncheon vouchers from p*cone and the other £3.49 in Advantage points. So the whole lot cost me nothing.

I have been collecting £5 no7 vouchers, vouchers from magazines to get free cosmetics to make up a box of cosmetics for my Mum. I even got some brand new sealed stuff from Freecycle. All in all she now has a nice gift box of over £60 worth of cosmetics which cost me no more than a fiver.
