    didn't buy one of mine though. :-(

    Only kidding, fab about the voucher!!!!!

    You can ebay tesco coupons, basically whoever wins them e-mails you the deal that they want, youy obtain it and post off to them, therefore circumnavigating the need to use vouchers urself.... IYSWIM?

    Well I would have but you can only spend the vouchers on things bought direct from Amazon I'm afraid!

    Ta for explaining - that's very clever with the Clubcard thing, if mine ever actually turn up I may do that. Then again I may just buy wine :D

    Well, I get paid on Friday so I've been writing my cheques for rent, debts etc. Decided to pay £110 to my credit card (usually £50) to get my total down to a nice round £9200. This month I've been rather enjoying the extra cash I've raised and treated myself a bit, but there's still about £70-80 left made up of vouchers, what's in the bank, a couple of amounts not yet claimed from Bingo sites etc. I think this month I'm going to be a bit more frugal (can you be a 'bit' frugal?) and try to throw some more extra at the credit card. Whatever happens I'll be sub-9k at the end of March, just how much depends on my efforts!

    Not heard back from the job interview yet - phone is permanently stuck in my pocket! Just had a chat with one of the managers from the other part of our department about how bored I am, and she mentioned that there might be a chance of getting involved in some of their work, which, if I don't get something new, could have the potential to give me some good extra experience. The trouble is that even with that, there's no room to really progress here (to a more interesting and/or better paid job) unless someone else leaves. I won't hold my breath though, as from what I've heard other people in the office have asked about learning other things/ taking on extra tasks and it hasn't got them anywhere :rolleyes:

    Won't do a final total on the extra income for the month yet, still today and tomorrow to go and it's not over till, er, well, the wages are in the bank! :D
