    Claiming £200. Dd2 is training to be a vet and is on placement at a farm , it should have cost us £100 per week for the placement. But because we get our milk from them they waived the fee :j

    Also £8 sainsbugs voucher off a £40 shop
  • was give a pot of home produced honey (apparently neighbour keeps bees!) in return for a toddler trike I left out free :D will claim £4

    I have also been given a home multi gym - It is my oh's dream we turn our garage into a home gym. I can't find out what it costs until I get it home but a quick look shows me it would be in the region of £200 to buy :money:
