    Curlygirl, yes it was but it's only since I posted that someone pointed out that the voucher has already expired at end of June! I didn't think to look as it's in current Jul/Aug Tesco mag, but cashier scanned it and worked fine so worth a try anyway!
    Yesterday is today's memories, tomorrow is today's dreams :)

  • I have recently changed jobs, which has me working from home much more often. Instead of buying lunch from M&S Simply Food (the only place near to the old company office) I either eat lunch at home or when I have to go into the office, I get a Tesco meal deal. Should see some savings :)

    In our last Tesco food shop, we bought another box of 280 tea bags (I drink a lot of tea!) to get the 5p off fuel voucher.
    Highest mortgage debt - £167k in Dec 2008 :(
    MFiT-T2 challenge - starting balance of £144875 in July 2011 - aiming for £130k by December 2012
    Currently overpaying & hoping to be mortgage free by 2025 :D

    Well I've just spent the last half hour printing money off vouchers at work! :D That'll save me money when we go food shopping! :T

    Also been applying for freebies this week and doing lots of surveys. :j

    Haven't been spending much in the evenings this week as I've been ill :( Sounds awful but might cancel a night out tomorrow due to being under the weather and I'm glad I'll be saving the money :o

    Hope everyone has a fab weekend. :) xxx

    Thanks for mentioning those, haven't noticed them before so did them last night! :T

    Just did another survey. :)

    Must go and do pigsback now, although I don't think I'll ever have enough points for a voucher on there!

    Yes that's right Hurdler. :)

    Used some vouchers to get nearly £5 my shopping at Morrisons this morning. :D Held up the queue in the process :o as the woman had to call an assistant over as they'd had some people use the vouchers when they hadn't actually bought the products recently.

    Cheers. If I ever get to work at home in the new job (may take a few weeks to "earn" that) then I am going to make a real effort to do that then.
