  • Yes it arrived, but the covent garden soups were out of stock. Not sure if that means they'll deliver when they have them or if that's it. I'd better check to see what they'll charge me as I might be in credit or they might ignore the offer as my order won't be over £10.

    Yes do check, they didn't charge me for my order but to be fair, the £10 ended up being about £2 worth of free stuff which was a shame.

    Ooh just saw what you wrote about the Nectar Credit Card, off to investigate! Love bonus points I do!
  • Just about used my petrol voucher today to save £1.15, added to MOC total.

    DH's eBay figures haven't sold well. Either they didn't sell or only sold for the minimum price, which just about covers the amount he paid for them. So at least we didn't lose anything and the cash isn't tied up!

  • Still on my phone so only a little post !

    eBay emailed to say some of the vouchers I bid on have been withdrawn- probably dodgy!

    My standing order has gone into the savings today, sig updated! I'll trot off to update mfw2012 soon. Not sure whether I will join the mortgage free in 3 challenge, it's a long target which might not keep me motivated. I'll have a think. My target would probably be 10k savings in 3 years.

  • Just had a look at quidco and there is £70 due on the next pay run! It is from our switch to scottish power last nov/dec!

    That is brilliant! I had various companies pay out last month and my Quidco was £80 - highest ever I was delighted. Its 24p so far this month lol!
  • My Halifax rewards account is up and running so I've set up the standing order to get the £1k over to the account every month, will sign in to set up the standing order to get it back the next day once my internet banking details have arrived.

    Some of my coupons have arrived so we are going to hit the town in a bit to see if they work.

    We have a new sleeping routine which seems to be working ok, so no more posts at 4am for me!

  • Just updated my ebay spreadsheet and we have some more profit to add to the overpayments account- £4.45!! At least we are not out of pocket and it is clearing some loft space. Sig updated.

    Finally got round to spending a Tesco giftcard- £5 transferred and updated as well.

    May need you to pass on tips about the sleeping routines in a few weeks! I've got a foot in my rib I think - it is really aching!

    Well done for your eBay profit - every little helps!
  • Feedback on my extreme ebay couponing exploits!

    In one shop, one coupon didn't scan, but the rest were fine so we got £50.03 worth of shopping for £10.53! We only used our coupons on things that were already on offer, so got some mega bargains!

    We were feeling very pleased with ourselves so headed to another shop and managed a haul of £51.04 worth of shopping for £18.60.

    Amazing! We have now got a laundry and shower gel stockpile :o

    Total coupon savings have been added to the total.

    Our £70 quidco is on it's way, not appeared yet.
