    Most definitely carbootcrazy!! It is a saving that you earnt unwittingly ;)

    Well done, it pays to complain even.just for feedback if nothing else.

    You reminded me i have a £10 fayre and square voucher for complaining as a manager refused to let me use a money off voucher and.zeek voucher together. I explained to his general manager about zeek.vouchers and she is going to download app herself. Told her it's like paying cash but I got mine at a huge discount.
  • Thanks, Aesop.

    Well done on your £10 voucher too:T.

    My Mum was the queen of complainers. I used to hate going shopping with her especially when I was an easily-embarrassed teenager:eek:. I'll run a mile from a confrontation but with money being so tight I feel justified in complaining now (politely of course;)) if I don't get what I've paid good money for. I was still a bit dubious about whether to make a fuss over £2.50 at the garage though, especially as there were lots of people queuing:o

    Yes but yoi paid for a service and didn't get it, so have every right to express your dissatisfaction, politely vof course :)

    And if no one givea feedback how will they know something is wrong?
  • Quite right, Aesop:beer:

    There's a Farm Shop near here that has a big sign up. It says:

    If you are happy with our service, please tell your friends.
    If you aren't, please tell us.

    Mid(ish)month update - currently sitting at £80.86 so things looking on track for this month.

    I've also got a free gym membership for 3 months via the NHS/local council partnership as part of a mental-health-wellbeing-thingy. Not going to count it in my total as I wouldn't have got off my backside and paid due to lack of motivation but free? Awesome motivation for me! Also prompted me to shop round for a fitbit (only £20 'real money' in the end) and sign up to bounts which is already clocking up nicely :)

    Atti and anyone else using Bounts -

    How easy is it to clock up the points please, and what can you get with them?
    I don't have a fitbit or anything at present so just wondering whether it would be worth it for me to buy one or not.
    Thanks!
    I enjoy money-saving and am slowly entering the world of online earnings - aiming to pay for Christmas 2015 from extra income earned in 2015.
    So far: Bubblews £16.19 . Swagbucks £25, Neobux £1.29, Clixsense -.
    Freebies/wins 2015: 2 x Convent Garden soup boosters, mini L'Oreal foundation, LG smartphone, mini Clinique face wash.

    You don't need to have a fibit. There is an spp called moves thst records how many syeps you take as long ss you have a smartphone.

    Redemption is vouchers but for what varies what they have in stock.

    Take a look at the blog and website for more info.

    Just wanted to clarify something about FieldAgent -- downloaded the app but in the T&Cs it says by taking the "jobs" I'll effectively be working in a self-employed capacity. Not sure if this is something to be concerned about (don't want my income negatively affected any more than it already is) or they're just being overzealous with the legal aspects?

    Any advice greatly appreciated (also too late to join for June but this is a great idea and I shall be back in July :D)
