    Hello do you mind if I join?

    I don't have a huge amount to add but today I have;

    1. Compared lots of sites for the best home insurance quote. :)
    2. Transfered a large chuck of money to our joint account as it has a much better rate of interest!
    3. Didn't buy lunch out today as planned.

    Small things will try harder!

    Great steps Little*Miss - baby steps make us all MF as they are part of new habbits.

    Today for me:

    * didn't go to a knitting wool sale
    * drove a longer way home as the petrol light came on and I didn't want to get motorway services petrol
    * drove home at 60
    * got my ebay shopping through - cheaper than amazon and got 20p from TCB. Also good as I waited for it rather than went to the shops for it last weekend.

    I haven't managed much recently, but have just got back from Tesco as I needed cereal and milk. The only box of own brand cornflakes (finally persuaded my father through the sneaky packaging-changing method that own brand are just as good as Kelloggs) had a huge hole in the box. At the till I cheekily asked if the cashier could knock something off and when she checked with her manager they went from being £1.24 to 50p! That's made my day, and I had to share and no one else appreciates it like I know you lot will!:j Simple things eh?! (And I'll know to always ask in future too!;))

    ETA: have also just claimed my third Amazon voucher from Swagbucks too.

    Good for you Vix. My last two trips to Mr T they have overcharged me due to shelf edge special offers and products being wrong. I have queued at CS and got a few £ back each time. As you say, no-one else would bother or understand our joy!

    Well done Vicky. That made me chuckle.

    What am I like, I start this thread and then abandon. but in all honesty, I have been too busy trying to make money.

    Chow have a promotion on where you get 50p for every review in certain categories. DY have their own promo with bonuses in certain categories. I am a bit like a cat with 2 tails and i am not sure which one to chase. I also won a £10 on a comp on chow, and £2.50 in the DY prize draw.

    Not much else going on, other than the kids being boisterous, and the summer hols approaching at a rate of knots.

    Oh, and i said I would help to paint the school yard and so far I am the only volunteer. :o
