£2.50 homemade wine savings
£41.26 Amazon vouchers used for xmas pressie
£14.82 iHerb referral savings
£4.00 shy foresty people
Total £98.86, so just about on target.
Had some good news about a complaint letter I'd written to the garage that services our car about a mistake they'd made that left us £25 out of pocket. They admitted their mistake and offered £50 off our next service. :j
This isn't due for probably 6 weeks to 2 months, so I won't count it until then. But yay! I always think it's worth writing complaint letters rather than just having a moan and doing nothing.R.I.P. Bart. The best cat there ever was. :sad:0 -

I just looked through an Elle magazine that was delivered a month ago.. I got a free subscription so a nice little thing to come through the post because I would never spend £4 on a magazine!
Anyway, good thing I opened it... they had a free Kurt Geiger gift card on it.. I checked the balance and £25.00!!!! Hard push to find something within budget... but I already needed a purse as I keep losing my cards and was waiting for the sales. But I bought a purse and some hair clips... just had to add £3! Bargain!!! So I am adding the £22 to my total as it is something I never would have had if I didnt check the magazine and card. :j9 years and counting0 -
Both me and OH had vouchers from S&S on the doormats today, so that's £20 to add. We've gone for a few B&Q and Homebase the last few months so that when we move we have a nice little decorating fund stash which is reassuring to know
I had also said that I wouldn't be putting anything more on Ebay now till after Christmas, but couldn't resist and have just relisted a few 99p bits, and found a few more bits whilst tidying today to pop on at 99p! Only for 3 days, then that honestly is it for this side of Christmas, and probably New Year. Promise!!Half of November Make £10 a Day Challenge: £51/ £1700 -
£59 received from extra bits of work and £10 Amazon voucher cashed in today

I am pleased to add £10.27 to my total today.
This is a whole 14p from surveys & sw*gbucks, £3.06 worth of coupons, codes & vouchers that I used today, so I transferred this amount into my savings pot, £6.76 of shopping points and 31p cashback from shopping online. This takes me to £48.27/£155.00. Managed to get some more of my Christmas shopping done today and I've planned a bit more tomorrow2nd Purse #036 £46.69/£50.003rd Purse £30.02
