Hiya No, I just wandered about looking. I am sure there is loads to eat out there, even in a big city, but I don't have the confidence to identify and eat stuff growing wildly.

This week so far..

- 35p from two surveys
- £11.86 paid by quidco
- got bogof on hourly dual controlled car rental for DD
- my mortage payment and OP due to come off on the 20th will dip my mortage under £30K. Little monthly DD payments making a difference :T

Over the last couple of days I have ;

Put some air into my tyres as I find I save about £5 a month doing this (drive approx 1000 miles a month)

Reached cashout on Valued Opinions but they're temporarily not doing Amazon Vouchers so going to wait til they are again.

Found 20p on the path.

Made a massive stew in the slow cooker which is good for about 5 meals.

Going food shopping in Aldi tomorrow.

Cod3-good luck with foraging! Ive loved doing stuff like that but have only really done it when i'm with soemone in the know-wouldnt know where to start without them-been crabbibefore and had lovely crab salad (suppose this is not strictly foraging), also used wild garlic and blackberries (quite an easy one!).

Nsd yesterday!

hi, I dont post on here but thought of you lot when I saw this..

its a smart phone app where you can get £25 cashback for driving 250 miles.. Lindz if you drive 1000 miles a month you will probably do the 250 in time?!!!

Thanks Tinkerbel, I think I may have tried this before - seem to remember there being something like this in the weekly email, but I couldn't get it to work, maybe it was only for Iphones at the time and mine's an android. I'll have another look though, thanks again. eta - it's saying my phone (Orange San Francisco) is incompatible

Today I -

Went to The Works and got my nephews birthday present. It was a 3 for £10 offer and I only had 2 things so I picked up another item to put away for another occasion.

Topped up oil & water as car needed it.

About to have a blackberry & apple crumble made from foraged stuff

Linked my Nectar card to Ebay for extra points

I had an accidental NSD yesterday. I wandered onto the MSE Swagbucks Challenge thread for the first time and ended up in my nightie all day going skelly-eyed in front of the computer

Hoping to earn a few Amazon vouchers for Christmas shopping.

Also this week, found Whiskas on offer so bought loads.
