    well I got grazia's magazine £1.95 so I could get 25% off at Wallis. When I got there I found out I could buy a gift card for £30 and get a £5 voucher. So I bought the gift card - and then used it with the 25% off voucher to buy some trousers - leaving me with a saving of £7.50 (minus magazine) and a £5 voucher for use later. So I am up approx £10.50!

    Must have taken ages to come through due to postal strikes.

    edit: Jesa just caught up with the rest of the thread, glad to hear the suggestions have been useful, and wishing you all the best in arranging something special with your father.

    Bit of a sneaky one for me today. Bought a Peppa Pig house from Amazon for £30. Thought it wasn't very good but couldn't be bothered sending it back. Took it to Tesco today for an exchange. It was £39.97 in there so I made £9.97. Money was spent on bits and pieces for DD's birthday next week. :beer:

    Total today: £9.97 bringing my total to £115.37 - target was £85

    Well I am not doing so badly this month thanks to my DH, he bought me a new laptop last week and has decided to buy it only with extra money made so he is a selling demon at the moment totals tomo from ebay. Also I have done £20 mystery shopping today and more than make money I have saved loads recently on things I needed to buy anyway and this month I am getting a cracking wage and DH got an extra £500 this month too so happy days :D:D:D. If things go to plan ( where there is no reason for them not to ... touch wood) we will have the laptop paid for and all our skiing money ready in advance of the holiday and a little money left over as Feb & March there is no council tax etc ooooooh just seeing this written down is making me feel so much more relaxed :o
