Paddy Power on Quidco is pretty good too x

I've paid £5 into my youngest son's child trust fund account using Nectar points!

Also received a free Virgin sim card and registered it today so have £7 free credit in total. (I've used £5 of it to buy a Splash card through Quidco for the £10 cashback that I should get!) :cool:

Saved £40 on a case of wine from Virgin Wines

Made all of 70p on ebay! :rotfl:

Gave 50p to Children in Need with no spend by getting my Mum to sign up for Martin's money tips email!

Gained 50p on a Lottery instant win online. I had 50p in 'token balance' in my online account and £4.50 in cash balance but need £5 to withdraw.

I didn't want the hassle of having to add more cash to withdraw it again so played an instant win for £1 and won...£1! It still leaves me 50p up and I can now withdraw my money. (Although I'm going to leave it in there until my Quidco cashback is paid!)

On a more serious note... did a £10 GrassRoots mystery shop this week and last week free movie preview worth £6.50 and also Orange Wednesday freebie worth another £6.50. Plus a £10 Pigsback voucher.

Wish I could earn £33.00 that easily every week!

Not just that but I saved £60.00 on the Boots Protect & Perfect serum (normal RRP £99) - it was half price for a little while (£49) plus I got £10 off with an online Boots code. So £39 instead of £99 and it will last me all of 2008 - fantastic. Also I got Quidco cashback and Advantage card points and Egg Money cashback on it - prob another £3 or £4 off there.

So even dissaolowing the huge £50 saving on the serum, I still managed to save £43.00 last week.

At the weekend, I used the 20% off New Look voucher from this site - saved £4.60 as I resisted the temptation to spend loads just because I'd got a discount! I also passed the voucher back to the person waiting behind me in the queue to spread good moneysaving karma!
I got a £10 Tesco voucher from Valued Opinions today. :j

Also stocked up on nappies at Boots today whilst the 3 for 2 offer is still on. Saved £8.96 on a jumbo pack of Huggies and also used £3 worth of Huggies vouchers.

(I actually paid for the lot in Boots vouchers saved up from Pigsback but I've already counted them in my diary!) :cool: Had a bonus points coupon so walked away with over 600 points from that shop too!

Just noticed that the start of my thread has been restored after the forum glitch the other week! :j

Yesterday, I sold a book on Amazon - first for ages - netting me £4 after fees and postage etc.

Today's been good so far. Postie's just been and left:

£10 Pigsback voucher
£24.53 cheque from Globaltestmarket.
£2.24 cheque from Betty's Try Me Free offer

It's my birthday today too :j and as well as lovely presents and vouchers from family and friends, I've had my 50 bonus piggypoints from Pigsback too! :cool:
