Hi,
I know normally hypno06 starts this thread off but I haven't seen it for a few days. Please feel free to merge if I have overlooked it.
I've not done many things yet but if I do I will add them later.
Purchased a dvd for my sisters birthday and should get points going through RPoints.
Did some R Point clicks.
Will hopefully do my cashbag and piggy clicks at work during my lunch.
Have e-mailed my sister to see whether she has any spare engagement cards I can buy off her (which she got for 10-20p) as I couldn't find my contratulation stickers to make my own. :mad:
If I walk past Boots after work I will get 8 points added to my Boots card from a receipt I found yesterday and also return an out of date magazine I brought yesterday which was the issue I already had at home.
Updates
Sister has got a few engagement cards for me to choose from. She said I can have it for free since I always give her freebies.
Got my 8 points added at Boots.
Swapped my magazine at Boots for the current issue.
Used my points for more magazines.
Got The Sun paper with a free Sun voucher
Went home to find a letter from some company that has taken over Music & Film which has gone bankrupt saying I owe them £17 something.
I thought I paid if off in June before I closed my account but I couldn't see the amount taken off my bank account so I just paid it. Managed to get them to take off the £7.50 admin fee they were going to charge me. Hope that will be the end of it!
Stll to do my piggy clicks.
Checked Ebay and a lovely person has purchased item I listed last Thursday on 1/2 price listing day and paid for it already. I was getting a bit worried about the competition and was going to reduce my price slightly. Glad I didn't.

I love this thread, it makes me reflect on how well I'm doing and gives me ideas for improvements. Today I brought my lunch to work with me, took in home made biscuits (orange and peanut) and rock cakes as a treat for work colleagues in my office instead of buying M&S goodies. They were much more appreciative of them because they were home made. I'm having my car serviced this afternoon which will cost me a bit but she's being MoT at my local council test centre on Monday and I want her to sail through. Then I may sell her!!!!!0
