    Well done on your shop sugarbaby125 I don't think the Procecco would last until the summer in my house! :)

    I did a shop in Sainsbobs today for my friend and forgot my Nectar card! Never mind can add the points tomorrow as I'm going to pop in as they have Geranium plants, 6 for £2, and I want to get some with my un-used points.

    The free food from the restaurant have started to roll in again.
    3 whole chickens
    1 lettuce
    1 cucumber
    1 pepper
    1 tub tomatoes, about 5lbs
    1 red onion
    I also received a tub of journey and mustard dressing and croutons that I gave to my daughter. I gave them a whole chicken the other day that I was given to me so won't count what I've given away.
    I will add a total if £15 if that sounds fair?

    I'm going to be walking a bit more this week so hopefully passing a few skips and see what I can salvage :)

    I know Bob I don't know what I would do without the free food! I can do so much with the chicken and I made 3 large jars of pasta sauce with the tomatoes adding peppers and onion as well. I like to share the food out and anything else I get for free. It always comes back to you in some form.

    I think I have a few more dvds to list on Ziffitt and see how much I can womble from them. Great stuff as they were given to me!

    sugarbaby that seems mad that the seller got both things wrong!

    The seller decided I was in the wrong not her, so I had to open a Case with eBay and then the seller caved in straight away and paid my refund and said I did not need to return the top. A small minority of eBay sellers are chancer's, but I have bought hundreds of items where I had no issues and got exactly what I was expecting.

    41p road kill yesterday, three bits of birthday cake (1 quid each I'm claiming as they are big slices) and a gingerbread man gift from Morrisons for doing a food shop with them.

    Hummm sounds very dubious. Glad all is ok.

    Have to report a deduction. I cancelled my Sainsbury's grocery order, as Sainsbury's sent me an email saying they would not be honouring the reduced price of £7.50 on the 6 bottles of Taste the Difference Prosecco in my order and they would be charging me £10 a bottle before the 25% discount. As that was going to add £15 to my bill, Sainsbury's were offering me an e-voucher for this amount against a future order. I declined this solution and cancelled the order. :(

    Total deduction of £29.25

    KfC 2 piece chicken and chips £2.99 and 1 litre of Volvic water £1.20 bought by Wayne on our last date on Sunday afternoon

    Bottle of water bought for me by Aston £2, Bottle of water bought for me by Wayne £2, £5 from Wayne for my other drinks, Small bottle of Prosecco bought by a male admirer £4 and Bottle of water bought by Roy £2 when I was at Karaoke on Sunday

    £2.56 cashback from Quidco

    #33 current total = £2068.41
