Small thing - I haggled with our house insurance and saved £87 on what they were quoting for less than I'm paying his year and with more "insurance" should I need it. 26 minutes well spent

I phoned my Mobile Phone provider yesterday asking them if I could get a better deal on my Sim-Only Plan, unfortunatley they said I couldn't, without incresing my monthly cost - which I didn't want to do, so just accepted this.

Then they phoned me today as I am a 'loyal customer' and gave me an additional 100 texts a month and 200 minutes - for free . They must have thought I was going to jump ship!

Also, phoned my Car Breakdown Cover provider as I did an online quote on their website (just out of interest to see how much it costs new memebers to have joint cover ) and managed to get monthly payments reduced from £19 a month to £11!!

Back into being MSE:

* I walked to and from the local shops, saving petrol
* made some ebay bids via TCB so if I do win (and go via TCB to pay) I will get some pennies back
* resisted going on a big shopping trip to town

Definitely a baby steps day.
