    Sidling in to record February's total as £144.50, plus £486.00 for two months of council tax that I've been refunded due to my ongoing house renovations. I'm not sure how many more months I will be given leaway for this on, but hoping for a kindly council officer.

    So, grand total for February is £630.50

    My YTD is £884.72 :D

    Afternoon wombles :hello:

    Reporting a good start to the month with £9 saved on a 3for2 offer on No7 makeup. I also got a voucher off my next spend, but it has a time limit for use, so I'll count it later if I do. Anotger voucher worth a fiver for M&Co, but won't count it until spent, otherwise I'll get all in a kerfuffle.

    £10 off my pet food shop and a bag of Mini Eggs from DH (£1), making my total for today £20 :j
