    If you have not been to look at your topcashback accounts for a while its worth checking to see if anything has gone to payable.

    A kind person on PTS has just posted an alert.

    Back in August 2016 if you did a gocompare quote you got £7.57 in cashback and finally its gone into the paid column :j
    I also had 10p from Wilko from an order done in July 2016 :D

    I converted into Amazon credit which gives you a bit of a bonus and having Amazon credit is always useful

    I then checked OHs where I did a Marks order - I think you had to spend £10 plus vat to get £5 back - and this £5 has also gone into the payable column. I think it was a one day offer in late January and I dithered so I didn't get my onw Wilko loo paper order done

    so £12 richer than this morning which is a lot better than nothing :rotfl:

  • Fascinating coins, thanks for posting - I will look more carefully at the £1s from now on till they disappear.

    Had a sort of freebie morning.
    T's for bread, milk, teabags, used CC voucher, spent 7p cash.
    DD gave me a scratchcard yesterday, got £10 from that, so cashed it in.
    S for fuel, used some of my points stash and £6 cash including new keyring.
    Butchers for huge golden-yolked eggs and home made pork pie £2 lot (you can see them making the pies in there, they make and bake all sorts, I was 14th in the queue) and browsed a few charity shops, spent 0 in those.
    Then I impulsively bought a lucky dip for tomorrow - not bought a lottery ticket in over 6 months.

    Impact on bank a/c = nil, so just 7p spent from purse. :rotfl:

    have noticed that the birdies have been removed from the £3 for 3 offer :(

    :(:(

    But good news for those selling them, I imagine.

    DD's had all mine for teacher gifts, she was very pleased with those last night.

    Good afternoon Elite.
    Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
    Sad to see the birdies have gone the way of the udis. Onwards.
    Have a good one.

    Crikey, look at the time :eek: I went to see doc this morning then to Mr T. Nothing of note there to bring home. Just got a few bits and pieces running low on and mt tablets.

    I lay down for a while watching a documentary and fell asleep :rotfl: I'm nipping back to have a catch-up :D
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Think I should have waited a day before parting with 88p for my Nivea deos yesterday. :eek:
