1 x £5.00 Amazon eVoucher.
Walked to work
Saved £115.00 on shopping round for car insurance. - Paid for in one annual lump sum, with £30.00 Agros vouchers via argos price comparison website.It's not the despair, Laura. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand. ~ Brian Stimpson, Clockwise0 -
Got a tax credits rebate through. It's money I've not missed so has gone straight to the mortgage.
Hopefully once that's gone through and the mortgage repayment is recalculated I'll be *just about* able to match the monthly repayment in OP- how cool is that?!?0 -
Today I have:
- Brought lunch to work;
- Checked my Quidco balance - £88 coming my way in early November from travel insurance and theme park tickets bought for summer holiday;
- Downloaded the Nectar App to my phone and had a very pleasant surprise. I have £245-worth of points waiting to be spent. That should see me right for either Christmas gifts or Christmas food shopping :j (I have had a nectar card for years and never redeemed any points.)
- Updated finance spreadsheets;
- Had my hair cut last night by a mobile hairdresser instead of going to the salon, saving me about £25 a time
