    Crikey! I bought some trainers online with a 20% discount and they've cancelled my order and refunded so I think I'll have to work that out and deduct it from my womble today :-(


    However on the positive side I cashed out £25 from iPoll


    Bob, I've signed up for Blue Rewards on my Barclays account. I pay £3 per month, but get £7 cash reward so I 'earn' £4 per month. I think that's a womble, do you agree?


    Thanks, LP x
