    Not posted in a while but my current total is £300 :)

    Have a confession to make though - this is because for many years now (about 20) I have been a member/customer of a well known hamper company (P**k) and I get the vouchers to spend on the high street and then give my mum half as a thank you and it helps her out too :)

    Morning Westie,

    At a £1 per day, this would be £111;)

  • I really shouldn't shop when I'm bored but today I bought something I've had my eye on for a while. I was going to wait until I moved but hey, I can add another £5 cashback to my total. :rotfl: I must get back to lowering the number of 'things' instead of adding to them. I have sorted a large bag of clothes for the charity shop too.
