    (Didnt get shoes mended in the end as they were too far gone so i bought a v cheap pair from the market for £12)

    OH team won their division last night so we went out to celebrate, the friend i mentioned a while back who comes round for bath/tea also ended up coming but has no money so we had to buy his drinks-oh well the damage wasnt too bad. Id bought some sparking rose beforehand from the corner shop so i was feeling a bit squiffy before i went out (Yet im still up at this time grrrr might go for a walk actually as the sun is blazing through the windows)

    OH was giving me a long list of things he needs to buy/pay for so he doesn't think he'll be able to put ANY money in this month sob!

    Hey Cocalls! Just read all the way through your diary, you're doing really well! I've recently got the savings bug and know how addictive it is, but aren't doing as well as you with the little things.

    What sort of things are you getting all this cashback from on Quidco?

    cheers,

    Hi
    Some bingo sites have free scratchcards, so you log on everyday claim your free scratchcard and win everytime its mostly 10p but it all starts to add up once you have £10 you can withdraw it into your bank account
