    On today's list:


    :starmod: Go to work. It's gonna be tough. Something has gone wrong! Done, exhausting!

    :starmod: One Poll. Done.

    :starmod: Daily click on Kelkoo through Quidco to earn 1p. Done.

    :starmod: Charge phone away from home. Done.

    :starmod: Close the curtains before it gets too cold. Done.

    :starmod: Free Galaxy from your nearest Premier Store anyone? You need a printer. http://www.premier-stores.co.uk/#voucher

    :starmod: Free catfood sample anyone? http://www.purina.co.uk/catslikefelix/freesample/Promotions/FreeSample/Default.aspx

    :starmod: From Tue 6 Nov 2012, if you get certain benefits (pension credit, employment and support allowance or incapacity benefit) you can buy up to 36 stamps at last year's prices from Royal Mail. First class stamps will cost 46p (usually 60p) and second class stamps will be 36p each (usually 50p). To get the discount, you'll need to show that you receive of the relevant benefits with a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions including Annual Up-Rating or other awards letters, dated within the last 12 months or take your Post Office Card Account statement that lists one of the relevant benefits.

    :starmod: Go to https://secure.tesco.com/clubcard/myaccount/PersonalDetails/Home.aspx
    and change my Clubcard personal details so they don't send us alcohol related vouchers which we never use. You can set it to Vegetarian too so they don't send you meaty vouchers. Done.

    :starmod: Wait for the £60 I earned on eBay last night to appear in my bank account and parcel up said item. Find cheapest courier. Probably use http://www.myhermes1.co.uk/ this time.

    :starmod: Hope and pray that my other big item on eBay sells soon.

    I'm celebrating the fact that I haven't had a single day off work sick yet this year and that's quite something for me as I have mental health problems. This stands me in good stead for a promotion, I hope, and will hopefully help my boss forget that I had 6 weeks off sick two years ago!

    Have a good day everyone.

  • I am at work, so saving money by not being at home shopping but don't earn overtime unfortunately. I'd be a millionaire if I did!

    Later I will do my eBay listings and some surveys, and email ipsos again to try and get my voucher from them - they owe me £10 :mad:

    “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent".
