    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Wow f0xh0les what a prize! Congrats

    Yesterday I Wombled 2 bananas, 2 pastries (oh and madam can have them for breakfast), 2 packets of crisps (opps I ate them to mop up the stress of work!) And had an appt with a client at a coffee shop and bought them a latte (I can claim expenses for my clients drink but not mine!) I had water but then when we sat down he gave it to me as he had a can of red bull. So £4.31 added to total. Also over last few days I found 21p roadkill

    Great roadkill Determined & how funny about the expenses. What if your client wanted 2 coffees per meeting, how would your work ever know that if you did claim for both?

    Just been accepted on to a T3sc0 Christmas Orc4ard thing for Christmas food. So that will be either £5 or £6 of vouchers. Free food, my favourite!

    It is blimmin' freezing. Happy weekend all, batten down the hatches for tonight, it's gonna get breezy.

    Good one Orchard is a great one. I felt so happy when I got two free whole chickens under one of their promotions. Yes it's freezing isn't it.

    Ooh Determined - £20!!!! Lucky thing!

    £237.99 saved on a new leather sofa bed with a 20% discount code that DH had been texted by a mate - kerching! We were going to buy it anyway, so super pleased with that :D

    Got some more Tesco vouchers, so will pop to the shops later and stock up on pet food. I'll update with my savings once I know.
  • 3 X bottles of water bought for me by Wayne on Sunday evening £4.50 :)

    £70 from Wayne :T

    I bought myself a magazine subscription for 16 weeks for £19.99 saving myself £7.21 on the cover price for 16 issues ( I will earn £11 cashback with Quidco, but I will count that when it is eventually paid to me) :T
