    Morning

    Just a few bits - probably the last this month.

    £1 Tesco voucher and £4 Coop coupons.
    A small ebay sale of £1.24.
    And 2x 20p out of the washing machine. I'm pretty sure the second one was mine but nevermind! Better in this fund. Total is now £70.20.

    Well done to all you brilliant moneymakers! See you in November
