    Hi all,

    My things for today were:-
    -Conduct mystery shops, means i've had lunch and tea paid through doing mystery shops.
    -Done my daily clicks
    -Completed some surveys
    -Put back a jumper in primark and decided to buy 2 on sale instead which only came to £4. Saves me getting cold.
    -Went shopping in town and the only thing i bought for myself were the jumpers, avoided any sales and kept my money.
    -Bought some books to sell on Amazon.

    Have a good Saturday evening.

I've also worked out that if I do OH through the post office I can get £50 cashback and thro Quidco get £27 not bad, altho it's taken me a while to trawl and saved him £30 or so - call it wages!
