    My Amazon spends for the week involve yet more fingerless gloves for me (2.44/3 pairs!) and some wire OH wanted for his craft bits as a birthday present for him from a boy. This leaves me a huge £1.38 in gift card credit, but I'm only a few SB off ordering another £10 voucher.

    'Only' 4 orders in February including the microwave and I added £30 SB vouchers, and £25.59 of cashback (2% uplift) to the account.

    I bought shoe bags.

    Yeah I know, TOTAL necessity obviously!

    I have hardly any shoes these days (I love the summer as I get to wear more than one pair!) but I wanted to put them on top of my wardrobe....In bags.... this is how I spend my time. thinking about shoe storage.

    Anyhow that was the 1st March, nothing since then.

    Previously to that it was the 26th Feb.....friend gifts. Which were necessary given the support they have given me. Shoe bags......not so much!!!
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I had a few bits in March, but they were birthday presents for other people rather than straight fritter on us, other than £2.40 on a gardening book, and 99p for three months of kindle unlimited, both funded by SB vouchers. Its an ongoing battle with OH who keeps on adding things to the basket and I keep moving them to 'save for later'.

    April will inevitably involve the new star wars dvd, but I have vouchers.
