    I completely forgot that one of my colleagues always gives me the cans of soda he gets whenever he travels on Eurostar. 3 cans per trip, of which I get 2 (the third goes to another colleague). This month: 4 cans x €0,50. My dh really likes the ginger-apple one, and I like the elderflower-lemon one; my colleague prefers the rhubarb-apple one.

    morning excited to see when I logged on to my bank we have received £30 cashback for changing energy suppliers :)

    also going to conservatively claim £30 for manure I got for free yesterday - and millions of worms! Not sure if I waxed lyrical on this thread but I built a wormery last week and paid £31.50 for 500grms of red worms for it. (Everything else I got for free :) ) honestly when we were bagging up the rotted manure there were just tons and tons of worms! If only I'd known this last week I could have made the wormery totally for free but there must have been at least 100 times the amount of worms I bought in that manure!

    eta: just checked out the cost of buying a 2 tier wormery. £65 saved by making it myself :T

  • yesterday brought some surprise wombles as my ds visited and gave me gifts for mothers day :) among them were 4 packets of seeds for the allotment - £9! Some gloves for gardening estimating £5

    he also paid for my train ticket to take madam to ballet £2.70 and bought me a magnum £1

    I used my mse skills to track down tiles for our patio that is being done next week. Paid £480 for 34 m2 but orginally the cost I was quoted by the builder to get from Jewsons was £900 so a saving of £420 :T (I'm counting this as if it wasn't my obsession to live as frugally as I can I would have just got the builder to buy them :D)
