    Another 7p from outside the newsagents. I do get the kids to pick it up to save any embarassment. They're closer to the ground than me to be honest !

    Forgot to add £ 50 earned from scanning my shopping with TNS. Pity it's not cash tho it's in Next vouchers which'll come in handy.

    Hi All

    Sorry that I am very late on parade!

    I have been trying again for £10 a day this month - not doing too well though! Must try harder!

    Anyway, progress so far (such as it is):

    Quidco cashback = 23p
    Littlewoods cashback = £2.00
    Avon commission = £34.78
    Total so far this month = £37.01

    I have got another Avon order to place this month, so there will more commission to be added then.

    I am serious declutter mode at the moment, so that might generate some more!

    Thanks purpleroses!!

    I have brought a top in new look and it said it was £18 down to £8, so i brought it. I got home and discovered that i was charged full price for it. I went back in and the lady told me that it wasnt supposed to be in the sale (even though there was a few on the rail) so i couldnt have it at the reduced price. So i just returned it and got my money back. I am quite mad, it was clearly stickered at £8. My friends have said i should write a complaint letter to head office, explaining the situation and what i want. The thing is, i am not entirely sure i am in the right, as i read up that retailers are allowed to not sell an item at the price they advertised it as. But they are not allowed to display misleading prices. Plus, i dont know what i would ask for.... like a credit note for £10 so i can buy the top at full price, but only pay £8. Would appreciate some help :mad:

    Will question every purchase I make!
