    I just got a notice that I've overpaid tax (which is pretty impressive as my tax bill was only £80 this year) of £40, so will be getting a rebate. Hoorah! Won't count it til it actually arrives though.

    A unexpected surprise this morning - £18.98 cashback from Egg. I probably wouldn't even have noticed that prior to MSE :embarasse.

    Another dozen stamps in the post today from a survey I do. If my £50 cheque from YouGov arrives in Monday or Tuesdays post I've done it!
