    Got an email from YouGov £50 will be deposited in my account in the next 48 hours (hooray!!! £2 into the next £50 already), doing a mystery shop phone call on Wednesday so will have £6 for that too.
    ***edited to say it is in the bank already!!!***

    Money is flying out the door with surveys (£330) and damp reports( bargain at £45) and drains reports (£150) and I still need to get someone to look at the roof, I am so aware I have spent nearly £1400 on a house I don't even own!!

    Hahaha! That made me laugh :rotfl: I've never been that lucky.

    Just three eggs this morning, so perhaps a couple of hens are resting today...30p for them, plus a total of £12.87 from price matching, substitutions, promotions and the like from my online food shop this morning.

    Told DH he has to try harder today too. Poor man :D

    I'm proud to announce my running total is now £562.07 :j

    1p outside local shop this morning and someone had thrown a brand new supermarket bag for life (with tag on) with a nice cup of tea on it into our front garden. Quick wipe down, now with the other shopping bags!

    Hi Everyone, Some good wombling going on. All I have to report is 7p that I found in town this afternoon. Want to share a nice little story with you all. When I went to park in town today I only wanted to pay for 1 hour parking which costs 40p. I only had a £1 coin and as the machine doesn't give any change I asked some teenage boys if they had the change of £1. One of the boys said he didn't but he offered me 50p and told me to keep it. I insisted he take the £1 coin in exchange rather than put it in the parking machine but it put a smile on my face to think of such a nice generous young person.
