    Thanks :) Most of it came from unwanted vouchers but my other stuff has been fetching quite a bit too. It's all toiletries I don't have time to use up (hence why I am on the no more toiletries challenge lol) and clothes that have been worn once or still have the tags on! :o I am trying to declutter and make some dosh at the same time.

    How's your bank problem going? xo

    I'm just asking to take it to another thread, this sticky is for discussion of how much we have all saved not individual bank fraud cases ;) A few other people asked to stop as well, not just me. Lots of people subscribe to it and want to hear about the savings people are doing. There is a whole forum section on bank stuff here

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=20

    Minidanni make sure you post the link when you make a new thread, I'm interested how it all turns out as well. Good luck
    Save save save!!
