    Sorry me again! Went to the post office today to pick up a 'sign for' letter and it was £20 worth of shopping vouchers after I complained about finding a stone in a tin of tomatoes.


    LPx

    Wow it's worth complaining :T

    I hadn't wombled anything this month other than 2p roadkill. Then I went to a discount food store and saved at least £100 :j for example they had a tub of ice cream normally retails at £3 and it was 25p :D so I'm adding that to my total

    Well, since going away for my daughters birthday last weekend, I have been entirely un-MSE :( I have definitely fallen off the wagon.

    But as for wombling.... I have complained to my Energy supplier and got £50 credit on my bill. I have complained to my broadband provider and got £13.80 credit on my bill.

    Only 18p cash found, but I have found three receipts with clubcard points unclaimed.

    Also, my Dad took pity on me and paid for A1d1 shopping which was £54...

    Claimed £10 cashback on a cashback site.....

    Am going to work out a budget tonight get back on to debt reduction, will then catch up with what everyone else has been doing whilst I was away....
