    Hmmm, I slept in, so had a money saving morning in bed with my dreams. Then get up to fin OH taken our van and brother borrowed my car, so I am now stuck in the house all day. OH also drank the last of the coffee and I cant get out to get some more (begrudge paying over the odds at local shop!) so instead am using those little sachets you get when you stay in hotels (I always take all of them and use them for times like this or when camping). Today I plan to list stuff on the bay, amazon and clean the house.

    I had three ebay items end today, one of which I've already been paid for. :) Ordered my quasi-free upgrade phone from Virgin (details in my diary thread) while resisting DH's encouragement to go for the more expensive bluetooth phone! (He's normally thrifty, but he LOVES the gadgets!) Did 5 hours of overtime so far... will probably fit in one or two more :) And I tidied and vacuumed the lounge, which helps me keep more organized.

    Brought 3 ltrs of Robinsons diluting juice at Tescos for £1.26 (last bottle on shelf - very pleased). Saved £5.50 off my shopping using coupons.

    Cut out £2.75 in coupons from all the magazines I brought today.

    Picked up 7 x 30p discarded money off coupons

    Picked up several discarded Tesco receipts with points totalling up 211 points (just need to get them added by Customer Services next time - I was more excited by this than the chocs and flowers OH half got me - how sad am I for collecting points!!)

    Went to Tesco customer services and got them to add 120 points in vouchers which wouldn't scan and another 73? points in old receipts I had from 2 weeks ago.

    Got 1 'green' Tesco point for re-using a carrier bag

    Will do the click throughs later..
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
    Boots points: £0.28
    Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
    Mutual points: 3417 (redeemed 8250)
    Rpoints:redeemed 28925 points)Cashbag:£8.91(£20)
