    * tried to get the £30 cashback from the https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4330077 deal but I am not sure I filled it all out properly so it tracked. I have a referral link here if anyone wants to try it, or you can get a non-referral link from the MSE thread or delete the end of my link: http://www.imutual.co.uk/?ref=6053

    Thanks for this, I joined on your referral and tried for the £30 cashback, fingers x'd :)

    Recently for me:

    * checked out the value of 2 body shop coupons posted out with orders - there is a thread on the shopping section here which helps you work out if you have a £3, £15 or £100 voucher and telling you about magazines which are giving these coupons away too.

    * used boots extra points coupons from the machine with purchases

    * got a bargain on laundry liquid - 25 washes of Method in Tesco - http://www.methodproducts.co.uk/ind_laundry_air.html SEL said £3 but scanned at £1.50 :money: I have stocked up for the next few months.

    * earnt my first CP voucher from my shopping entry (now need to pick which one to have).

    * kept up scanning and shared the registration link for my scanning panel

    Today I -

    Took some Aldi pate to work to have for lunch with some rye bread and some fruit from Aldi

    Cuppas made in work rather than bought from coffee shop

    Tea was leftover chilli and couscous from Saturday

    Only spent £1 (in Farmfoods for 100 one cup teabags)

    Checked surveys in inbox but screened out of most

    Emptied a load of shrapnel from my change jar into a tuckshop at work and swapped for £2 coins. (Got a terramundi that's almost full of them and am dying to smash it open, though part of me wants to prise them out with a knife so I can start saving £2 coins again!)

    Ordered a £10 Next voucher from Consumer Pulse

    Good day on onepoll though, only £1.80 to go :j.

    Consumer pulse is a panel where you enter what you bought, and rewards are pretty high ( I have about £300 of rewards to claim ...i know i should cash out soon...and i dont even do it every week)

    Those who do it every week must be on loads!

    Not sure if it is something anyone can join as was invite only when I joined...anyone else shed light on this?
