    Hi All

    Various today.
    £20 saved by OH getting his eyes tested for free via his work.
    £50 new glasses for OH paid for by work.
    £1.04 saved on an Amazon order which was from an old gift card.
    £5.20 on two coffees, one from loyalty points and one another Mum treated me to on our playdate.
    20p roadkill.
    £1.50 bus spends (used DHs card so I didn't spend)
    £4 DH saving by WFH (although he still did the morning school run so his card cost him £4.50 today)

    That's not a bad days result.
