    I'm really enjoying the swagging, over 500 points now :) if anyone has the time I'd definitely recommend it for some free vouchers. I think I'll be up to my first £5 amazonia by tomorrow yay *claps*

    I'm being MSE and staying in work a bit later so I don't have to sit in traffic on the M3 for ages, saving petrol whoop whoop. OH isn't going to pay me back the £80 until January now though eugh, not very MSE but only 2 weeks until payday.

    Crikey, same here. All the biggies have gone out now this month, and the bank balance is still fairly respectable... this frugality thang seems to be having an effect!

    Swagging is using the website swagbucks to earn 'bucks' to exchange for £5 amazon vouchers through surveys, watching films, polls, web searches etc
