    £20.00 Argos Vouchers - special offer this weekend if you spent £100 - so I bought some Xmas presents.

    Had an Ebay disaster - had to refund an item I was selling for my cousin because there was some bits missing - my cousin had no idea and I didn't realise either (it was a tent and I don't do camping). Apart from the trauma of having to reduce last months total (still just managed to hit my target though) - I feel really bad for the buyer - he was a really nice guy and came a long way to collect it - think I'll send him a little something by way of apology :o:o:o - I really feel terrible about it.

    Ooooo can I join please? £10

    I'm going to seperate my savings and amounts made as I think that I naturally would be saving them anyway as I am pretty savvy to the not spending much lol

    Plus ignore me as I may add my shopping (food/groceries/home bits) to my list as then I can keep track. Hope nobody minds, but not sure I can cope with lots of 'clubs' x

    So far last 4 days we have.........

    Saved
    £24.94 ASDA(Monthly stock up)
    £20.05 Boots(Buying nappies/wipes etc with vouchers/offers)
    £50.22 Boots(Toys 3 for 2 + clearance, used for children + some gift cupboard etc)
    £100.21

    Made
    £5.00 Quidco ASDA (my groceries)
    £0.74 Quidco Marks and Spencer (for my mum's shopping)
    £10.00 Topcashback Tesco (for my mum's shopping)
    £15.74


    Spends
    £59.97 ASDA(Monthly stock up)
    £1.50 Boots(Nappies/wipes)
    £8.52 Boots(Toys)
    £69.99

    Whoop, saved more than I have spent so far, doubt that will last long though!
