£94.50 refund due to a delayed train. Work paid for the ticket in the first place. It was inconvenient that I was delayed by an hour and 30 minutes getting home.
As it happens I need a new tyre on my card, so as I have received it in one hand I'll be giving it away from the other. But its fortunate that I got the refund as the tyre replacement was unplanned.
£9.60 discount, buying gift cards for a Easter meal on a work site I have access to.
