That's fantastic - go you

Made 2*£4 payments into the OP pot today (couldn't make one yesterday as we were away).

Was very naughty and spent £130 in duty free on the way home - do I get any absolution if I point out that £83 of it wasn't on myself?

I bought lots of lemons on Wednesday quite cheaply. I have sliced and frozen some and pickled some more. I guess I won't need lemons for at least 6 months now.

I have recommended a friend for the Tesco CC CC, so both of us will be getting 1000 points each. So going to put £10 in the OP pot.

Also, I have booked our summer holiday to Athens through Avios, cost me only £27 pp in addition to the 20K avios. BA prices were £220 pp.

I don't understand the bit in bold ^^ but £27 pp compared to £220 pp for the BA price is a fantastic saving!!

Small things ~

* £2.60 saved on petrol using Mr. T 10p off a litre
* £10 M&S voucher received from VO
* Got free chocolate cake using Co-op voucher ~ £2.25 saved

Can't believe I missed the £5 off a £30 spend at Ald1 in Thursday's Daily Mirror :doh: I'm wondering if I dare ask my neighbour for his copy :whistle:

I think Avios is the new name for Airmiles - so i'm guessing 20K of airmiles were used then paid the difference.. correct me if i'm wrong though.. great savings!

Sounds lovely, linz.

Thanks shala_moo for your reply.
Yes, I have converted my Tesco Clubcard points for avios this month (600 miles + bonus 400 miles for every £2.50) and booked the trip last week. So the cash outlay is only £27 pp.

Yesterday I used £12 off MOC to bring down the cost of my grocery shopping.
£4.40 saved on petrol using 10p off a litre. So that also goes into my OP pot.
