Totally new to this, but here's what I can think of so far this year.
£10 in vouchers for surveys, at least 2 meals a week, & a bath/shower a week, plus other bits I'll have to think about.
What would you put for a meal at someone's house, or a wash? (Don't ask )

Well. I suppose it depends what you are served. If the meal is say shepards pie you could work out the cost to make and then divide by the number of dinner guests. But if it's a take away then you could work it out from looking at the menu.
A wash as in washing yourself or a load of washing?

Same account stays open, same standing order goes out, but every 12 months the whole amount (£1200 + interest)is swept into a 2% savings account, then I transfer it to my current account, which the standing order comes out of.

I happen to need the money at the moment, so it will all sit in my rubbish current account 0.25%, but you could just transfer the amount you want each month from the 2% to the 6%.

But you cant take money out of the 6% or you lose your interest, but it is handy to drop it down to £10 a month if you need to.

Thanks for that Foxholes interesting.

Had a bit of an average day for wombling. Saved 20p on some cooked Cumberland sausage coils we scoffed for brunch and 4 eggs from the girls (40p) this morning, but that's it today.

Thanks for the saving info F0xh0les - might take a look at that 6% is a good rate ATM

Squeekyweasel - If I was in your situation, I think Bob's suggestion on costing food would be how I'd do it. As for showers - are you using your own soap/shampoo or is this being provided for you? If so, you need to factor this cost in, plus laundry, if that's also being offered. It sounds like you might have fallen on hard times, so hugs to you xxx

2 free Theatre tickets worth £41 to see Round and Round the Garden at The Ashcroft Theatre on Saturday, my daughter and I are looking forward to seeing this play :T

1p Roadkill on my way home from work

Huge platter of free 'party' food given to me after an event at work today so I will claim £20 for this food. Luckily my Online shopping order was for tomorrow, as I was able to remove some of the food items thanks to this food windfall. :j

Earned 2 hours free pay as my normal shift ended at 7pm but did not have any cleaning to do until the event finished at 9pm, so £13.42 for having a lovely conversation with a colleague in the Staff room on a comfortable sofa

#33 current total = £955.87

Only heard about wombling from Martin's email last week. Probably won't womble for myself because I only go to Asda or Morrisons occasionally, but happy to help anyone here if possible.
I believe you need the actual receipt for things like Asda Price Guarantee, but happy to post them to anyone who wants them. And/or if you don't need the receipt for things like adding Morrisons points, let me know if you'd like any details in future.
Same for M&S Sparks, if you can womble those.
