June - Pin Money Savings Challenge

Caixta

That is a great saving Calleyw and totally unxpected, I bet. And it sounds like you were pretty shrewd in choosing some titles that'll save you even more money!

It's funny how Pin Money sometimes multiplies itself!

Caixta,

I wasn't even looking for it. Just by chance suggested going in to the shop and another christmas present down.

It is just so great when things like that happen.

Really makes your day.

It may sound sad but it does.

Yours

Yesterday was a good vpm day for me as I got DS a cupboard from mfi using £45 of tesco deal tokens towards it. Went to asda on the way there and they were giving vouchers for bread. I took 3 and used these and 1 more for £1.75 off my shopping.

Calleyw it doesn't sound sad at all! Au contraire - while it is fun to plan and work hard towards things, sometimes a little bonus just pops up out of nowhere! I love it too!

When it "really makes your day" I think that is a lovely attitude to have: appreciating even the little things. (Actually £8.75 is a big thing.) Not everyone understands it. Keep it up :T

aPMS: Mystery Shopping Income £9.75 + 1.05P from using a recycled gift bag for OH's father's day pressie and using a card sent home from Nursery as his card. Also approx 75p sending my Dad a homemade card.
So, June total aPMS: £15.48
vPMS: £15.50 (cashed in some tesco vouchers, and sainsburys nectar points).

Thank you so much. It is so nice to know that other people don't find it sad. I can only thank you once.

As you have now made my day. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are such a nice person. Now I know why I come here. The people here make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside as they are all so nice.

Take care and have hope you have a nice rest of the day.
