Over the last few days;

Overpayed Feb and March's council tax from the bills account as had enough surplus to do so.
Reached enough on CP for my 2nd £10 next voucher thanks to a 2000 point survey.
Joined Nectar adpoints and have made 500 nectar points already in 2 weeks, great for doing in front of the telly at night and doesn't take long to mount up.
Redeemed a £10 Amazon voucher with nectar points.
Redeemed £3.66 from TCB.
Got a load of healthy pulses for stews with morrisons miles voucher.
Got 6 hot cross buns for 19p and some tiger bread rolls also 19p while in Morrisons.
Am currently not eating chocolate or crisps in the week and am snacking on dried fruit and nuts at lunchtimes which really fill me up.

Last few days for me:
* got some plastic tubing from B&Q to mend the rim of my laundry basket (will thread the two broken wire ends into the tube to join the rim back into a circle and make it safe), saving buying new
* scanned my supermarket shopping
* entered my cp purchases and checked out
* got some longlife aldi bagels - 4 for around 80p and lasts until April! Pack is split into two packs of 2 so I will be able to put in my drawer at work and use for cheap lunches etc.
* ordered some Amaz0n vouchers from VO and used to pay for a new pair of fleecy wristwarmers. Can't wait for them to arrive as my old ones are wearing thin.
* got a christmas gift in the CS and some other sale bargains towards Christmas

Recently:
* some more bargain gifts from the CS for my stash.
* DH built a new slatted centre for our bed, saving replacing the bed. He says this should never need replacing :T So cost us less than £70... shame the new mattress was ~£1,400
* raised JL pricematch on mattress and awaiting £50 refund
* membership fees due for allotment - very cheap for that much exercise and veg
* ordered a large salon size bottle of my shampoo instead of buying a smaller bottle - 5x as much for the price of 3 bottles. I usually use about 2 bottles a year so I will save money next year and get the last 18 months effectively free :money: Saving even bigger if you compare it to buying in the salon - the money would only cover 2 bottles in the salon. I only wish I had thought of this sooner. Also got a money off code from FB so almost free delivery.
* washed out a bird feeder and sterilised it in milton, instead of buying new. Sadly other bird feeder was past it
* not on top of all my surveys, but trying

Hi Katsu

That sounds interesting -must have a look into that. Do you have a specific supplier. Thanks AG

Hi Anna,

I just ordered from HairSupermarket. Normally I order from ebay so I have paypal protection (I just search for the product then buy from whoever has good feedback and is cheapest as I find the retailers seem to keep changing). Hairsupermarket (which I found on ebay but have not used before) was a few pounds cheaper via their own website, has a facebook page and comes up on google searches for the shampoo. They have a 10% off code currently on their FB so I spent £20 on shampoo and got nearly enough discount to cover the postage fee. Should arrive this week so I will post an update to let you know how good they are.
