  • I had a lovely time at the Christmas Market on Sunday, but sadly it wasn't very well attended. I don't think there was much publicity and it was pelting down with very cold rain all morning, so I guess folks stayed in the warm!

    Still, made £10 profit after paying for my pitch, so that's ten pounds in the kitty I didn't have before I went!:j

    Also, a £2 e-voucher from GFK.

    Close to target, just need another wee push.. I'm determined to try and make it!!:)

    Congratulations to the winners :)

    Lovely time to win xx

    Not long after I was flogged one of the 'packaged' bank accounts I began to think it wasn't the best option but the scope of travel insurance we have needed this past year, plus mobile phone insurance worked out cheaper than doing it separately and was less than I had been paying for mobile insurance, today I downgraded to a free account saving £25 a month after taking out new home insurance and AA membership through Top Cashback. We don't need the all singing travel insurance this year, so delighted to be saving this money, have added a 'token' £25 to cover that.

    I've also added £5.75 for an eBuy sale after fees, 7p from Qmee, £1.10 in nectr points earned on various shopping, (not redeemed but added to £37 I have now to be spent.)

    Have used TopCashback a lot in recent days, money outstanding can take months I know but good to know I've been that little bit more canny with most of my Xmas shopping and getting new insurance policies. Did a very entertaining ms on Sunday. It was a pub and it was a bit rough, made me laugh, mind you had another little report to do on having a posh coffee on the way. Still have a few booked for before Christmas and into the new year.

    Onwards and upwards, thanks for continued inspiration all xx

    Sound fabulous MS - any chance you could point me in the right direction please -fed up with doing SMs :rotfl:


    I had a lucky day. Out for a drink with a few friends from last year's course and found £15 in a pair of jeans not worn for ages. Then I was repaid £16 from friends for 'thank you' flowers bought at end of course. Finally forgot that yesterday bought some thermal undies in Mar*s on 20% off so another £6.36. Total = £37.36 :j


    Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday
