    Thank you, cashback turned out to be £26 in the end, not sure why, but I'm happy enough as the new tariff is cheaper than my current one but for more data and a new phone!

    Thanks Luckyinlife, it's been an exceptional month for a variety of reasons. I found £144 interest in a TSB account that I had not checked for ages so I've counted that.
    The rest is a mixture of cashback, eBay and etsy sales, interest and vouchers.
    I also swapped our phone and broadband and my mobile so have counted the monthly savings from each.
