    I had my new free phone upgrade from Mr T waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday. It is still £10 a month but I now only get 500mb of data rather than 1gb as it is on 4G. I will also hopefully recieve a £20 gift card for Mr T for this updgarde as well, fingers crossed.

    [STRIKE]I am off to find the best deal for selling my old phone now, so should be a couple more pounds to throw at the debt.[/STRIKE] Or maybe not, only worth £4 unless it is mint condition which it is not! Just going to keep it as a spare.

    Found a 1p on the wooden beam over our lounge fireplace yesterday and got a price match voucher for 79p from Sainsbury's when I popped in there earlier. Also got a voucher for 5x nectar points on my next shop. So nothing very exciting to report...

    Had my most unlikely source of roadkill today. Took son to our local park that has a river in it . We took a net and he was planning to try and catch a tiddler in it. We didn't catch any of those but we did spy money on the river bed. So son picked it all up, 68p in total :)

    I did see lots of coins in the stream that runs through my local garden centre today and I mean a LOT. I'd guesstimate several tens of pounds....but....they collect it all and donate to the Air Ambulance. I thought that was a great idea - a really worthy charity out here in the wilds!

    Wow yes that is a good cause. I would totally not allow him to fish for coins anywhere like that. Our stream is just a proper wild river. Someone had obviously decided to fling away a handful of cash for some reason.

    Not been so great a wombling lately, I save the receipts and then forget to upload them. But I did get a cheque from inbox pounds a while ago, I get regular emails form them I just have to click on, but I found the survey taking seems to ramp the money up quite quickly. I claimed as soon as I got to £20 which is the lowest claim limit as I worry these deals might disappear, but I'm already back to £4 something.

    Still hoping to win on the free postcode lottery, but I do check it everyday, twice a day.

    Keep up the good work
    Debt -it's a fight that I'm winning, dealing with debt one day at a time.
