    Let me see:
    -bought a pair of slippers I really needed for £7.50 down from £10 in M&S saves on heating and I can now have a pair permanently packed for going away on business (hotels are so cold sometimes)
    -Black pencil skirt again needed for work (something smart for a coporate day we have coming up) £19.50 down to £14 again M&S
    - £6.95 in Quidco cashback and referred a friend so maybe £2.50
    -expenses all up to date they owe me loads.
    - stayed 4 nights in Premier Inns on my way to earn the next free night.

    Less good stuff:
    - DH spent £82.50 on Cobb assesories to get free postage over £75 (saving £6.50) but still a lot
    - BIL has 2 weeks in his holiday properties we can have incl free golf so planning a trip so South Africa in Mid January, will have to pay for all meals but still an opportunity not to be missed.Flight will be £650 but I can get 2% cashback and its free to take golf clubs.

    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?!?

    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 :).
    Think that is all for now.
