  • No change potted today, but I did join quidco recently after seeing it mentioned often on this forum and ended up getting £2 paid just by checking into a few shops... pretty handy! :)

    Was meant to pot all the spare money left over in my purse from this week, but I ended up spending quite a bit more than planned on a mothers day present :o.. still it's a nice gift and i'll be making someone happy so it was worth it :p

    Hi all, not called in for a while (hides head in shame) but I have been potting! Another £1 today.

    This sounds daft but I'm finding that because I'm hardly spending any cash, I never have any change!!

    Have been in hospital this week so hadn't added anything to pot - I did put $4. In on the day I went to hospital but didn't record.

    Oh you poor soul :( Good luck with your op, I know you'll feel so much better afterwards 'cos my mum had it done and never looked back...

    I haven't been potting for a while as things have been very tight so I've had pages and pages of posts to catch up on! Everyone is doing amazingly well :T Today I needed a small birthday gift for a friend so I popped into Debenh*ms as they have 25% off everything at the moment. I found a super little keyring with a tiny enamelled handbag attached (really pretty) reduced from £17.50 to £5. On the way to the till I remembered that they had sent me a £5 loyalty voucher in the post but I thought it would only apply to full priced items. NOT SO :) I got my item FREE :j so I have potted £1 leaving me with £4 to buy my friend a lovely glass of birthday wine with when we meet next Wednesday night :D

    In addition it's FREE LISTING weekend on eB*y so get rummaging folks!

    Have a lovely weekend peeps (commiserations sparky, hope things settle down for you soon <<HUGS>> ) x

  • BTW completely forgot to say why money has been tight...doh!

    1) I found a screw embedded in my 2 year old car tyre and the puncture repair cost :eek: £23 :eek: Personally, I think I was robbed but as the chap pulled the screw out and the tyre deflated I felt I had no option but to pay up :(

    2) I still have lots of birthdays coming up including DD so I'm trying to buy gifts in advance one by one on a tight budget

    I have about £30 to last me until the end of the month (food budget already put aside) and today my fridge/freezer has defrosted itself and switched off :cool: I phoned customer services and a repair man can't come for a week! Meanwhile I've twiddled the dial given it a thump or two and it's re-started but doesn't seem to be getting very cold. Watch this space :cool:
